Dear World, We Have What You Want

By Dan Balowon June 14, 2016

Dear World,

Those of us involved in Christian publishing can’t help but notice you are hurting.

While our work is to write and publish books, one or more times each week we gather to worship and pray to the Creator God, considering ways we can ease your pain. I hope you know we care.

There are dozens of new books with Christian themes coming out every week. They contain information and inspiration you might find helpful. There are thousands of great books already available. We can recommend a few sometime if you like. Just ask.

But today we thought we would write a letter from our group to yours and tell you what is on our mind and heart.

You are hurting physically, emotionally and spiritually. Those who write and publish Christian books have personally been there and to a varying degree still are. We aren’t unaware of how deeply you hurt and how difficult life can be. We’ve all been there.

The difference now is we have given up trying to solve all our problems ourselves and instead placed our lives in the hands of the God who created us. It’s where we all started and it’s the way we were meant to live.

Would you like to live the way you were intended to live?  We have what you want.

We have books that introduce a man named Jesus, born in a barn to an unmarried teenage girl named Mary and who spent his first night in a feeding trough. He grew up the child of a humble carpenter and one day when he was about 30 years old he walked to a river in Israel for a brief ceremony with a man named John and the world was never the same.

Jesus showed everyone how to live a life that is for the most part opposite how people live their lives today.

At the end of his life, just three years later, he was betrayed by a friend, arrested, tortured and killed in the most awful way possible. But it wasn’t the end of the story. Three days later on Easter morning he came back alive, proving he defeated death and made it possible for people to be forgiven and live a much more satisfying life on this earth and then be prepared for a forever-life after you die on a new earth where everything is perfect.

Would you like to live in a world where there are no more tears, illness or pain?

A place where no child ever dies from cancer because there is no cancer?

Would you like to live in a world where relationships between people are always perfect?

Would you like to live in a world where no records are kept you ever did anything wrong or bad?

It’s the ultimate “do over.”

If you want that kind of future, Christian authors write and publishers publish what you want.

One final word before we close.

We admit it, we talk a lot about Jesus. He’s the reason we do everything, so you will need to understand our perspective and passion for what we do. The Bible says Jesus existed before time itself and actually created everything. It’s complicated, and we don’t have all the answers, but we do know that our lives are in the hands of a Creator who made us, saved us and walks with us every day. It’s a great life. You’ll never want to go back to the old ways.

If you want to start over with a clean slate and live a life destined for a wonderful perfect place where worry, pain and tears are no more, we have what you want.

With Kind Regards,

Authors and Publishers of Christian Books

 

P.S.  We are sorry for the less-than-good things we might do or say once in a while. Don’t be discouraged. We are all still a work in process. But we are all hopeful.

Satan Speaks to Christian Authors

Throughout our lives, a great number of “voices” compete for our attention. Family, friends, co-workers, marketers, technology, and even your pets are vying for your undivided attention. Christians yearn to hear the voice of God in their lives and succeed because we have his words written down for all to read and hear, as well as the Holy Spirit reminding us of those words constantly. But the …

I Hate the Church (?)

Wow. Another year ended, another new year begun. As I considered what to say about 2015, something struck me: I heard more hard words from believers in 2015 than ever before. No, not “hard words” as in hard things the Lord told people to say. Just hard words. Words spiked with negativity, frustration, even a tinge of hatred. I’m a PK. A preacher’s kid. What’s more, I’m a PGK—a preacher’s grandkid. …

1956 was an interesting year (other than the year of my birth).  There were wars and rumors of wars, great music, movies, books, political campaigning, controversy involving Islamic control of various nations and trouble in the Middle East. Sound familiar? Woody Guthrie’s song “This Land is Your Land” was popular, Norman Vincent Peale’s book on The Power of Positive Thinking was still hot and …

Well, best laid plans, and all that. You may have noticed there wasn’t a blog from me last week. I was all ready to write about Bethlehem– And WHAM! Life took an unexpected turn. Rather than being in my office, writing a brilliant blog to bless you all, I spent the day dealing with health crises for my older brother. It started at 2:30 am with a phone call from emergency services, and I …

Joy to the World?

The angel said, “I bring you good tidings of great joy!” We really need some of that these days. With Paris and San Bernardino still in the news cycle we are reminded of the evil among us. And then this past week I received a series of bad news from industry friends. A publishing friend lost his home to a fire. A client called to say they’ve been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma which is a cancer …

Not Going My Way?

In case you haven’t noticed, things in the world are generally not going the Christian-way in politics, law, education, business, marriage, religion…or anything else. Evil seems to winning all around us. American Christians who once thought of themselves as the “moral majority” are now the “imperfect minority.” We thought we could change the world through the ballot box. We were wrong. Call it …

Not All Words Are Created Equal

Twice in the last few weeks something happened that got me thinking about how very careful we need to be when revising, either our own work or someone else’s. First, during a worship team practice, the leader changed the words of a song from “You give and take away,” referring to God, to “You give me all I need.” When I asked why she’d changed the words, she …

I’m in the process of developing a program with a friend to minister to writers who are in deep places in their lives. I’ve been asking God to show me how to encourage and share His truth with those who feel lost, abandoned, worthless, like they’ve wasted their gifts…those who are in pain and struggling… WHAT was I thinking?? There’s only one way to really minister to people in certain situations: …
