What does it take to have a successful book launch? Where do you even start, and how can you know the information you’re getting is accurate? How do you get real results that will help you succeed as an author and entrepreneur? If you’re asking these questions, then the Book Launch Success Secrets Series is just what you need. Coach Tam will walk you through the process of a successful book launch step by step, so you know exactly what you need to do.

As the old saying goes, everyone has at least one book in them. However, not everyone actually sits down and writes that book. Why not? Often, people don’t follow through on their writing goals because of fear. Fear of failure, fear of success, fear of the blank page — all of these can be incredibly paralyzing.

But fear is always going to be a part of the writing process. Even successful authors feel fear when they start a new project. The key is to push through that fear and allow yourself to create something great for the glory of God. In this episode of Publishing Secrets, guest host Lystra Wilson shares her own experience with fear: why it took her so long to write her book, what she learned from the experience, and how you can slay the giant that is in front of you.

As Christian authors, we sometimes doubt whether or not we have anything worthy to share. We question our calling and wonder if what we have to say is actually worth anyone's time. After all, we are only human. But the truth is, we all have a story to tell. Each of our voices is needed in today's world, and if we could — just for a few moments — embrace childlike expectations, we might see our writing journey in a totally different light.

In this episode of Publishing Secrets, guest host Dori Durbin shares a word of hope for anyone who’s ever felt uncertain about their writing: what you think is a mess is really your message. It’s an opportunity to be used by God in a way that is real and relatable. It’s time to listen up and take Dori’s advice: don't give up on yourself! Keep sharing what God has put on your heart, and trust Him to use it for His glory.

Testimonies are some of the most powerful tools we have to share the love of God with others. They show that no matter what our individual experiences may be, we all have one thing in common: evidence of God's faithfulness and goodness. When we share our testimony, we open up our lives to others and invite them to see God at work in our lives. This is an incredibly powerful act of love, and it has the potential to change lives for the better.

In this episode of Publishing Secrets, guest host Jenny Rosario de Casiano shares her truly amazing testimony. She tells her story with such passion and conviction that it's sure to inspire and encourage you. Let Jenny’s words remind you that no matter what you're facing, you can make it through with God's help.

Jesus was fully human and fully divine. As such, He knows what it feels like to be tempted and tried. And here’s the good news: He also knows what it’s like to overcome. Even better, that same overcoming power is available to us through Christ!

In this episode of Publishing Secrets, guest host Mandy Leigh reminds us that Jesus desires for us to live a life of victory, not defeat. And we can! Because — as the apostle Paul tells us in Romans 8:11 — the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead now lives in us, we have been given the power to overcome. So get excited! You are not powerless in the face of trials and temptations. You are not alone in your struggle. Jesus has given you everything you need to overcome. Let Mandy’s story remind you to trust Him and keep believing until you see His power manifest in your life.

It can be incredibly disheartening to see a loved one who seems lost and far from God. But if that’s what you’re facing, hold onto these three words today: Don’t stop believing. No matter how far away that person seems to have gotten, remember that God is a master at turning things around. He can reach into the darkest depths and offer redemption and hope. It may not happen overnight, but with time and patience, you can see God work in your loved one’s life.

In this episode of Publishing Secrets, guest host Kim Lengling shares a personal story and, within it, a reminder never to give up on your loved one, no matter how lost they might seem. Pray for them, believe in them, and never give up hope. God is always at work, even when we can't see it. So trust that God is working behind the scenes to bring your loved one back into His fold. Everything is possible with God.

There is so much going on in the world today. Racism, war, poverty, the political divide — it’s so easy to feel overwhelmed by all the pain, suffering, and tension that surrounds us. But we must remember that we are not alone in this struggle.

In this episode of Publishing Secrets, guest host Tarrent-Arthur Henry reminds us that there is a power greater than ourselves who loves us unconditionally. This love can help ease our pain and give us strength to carry on. When we turn to The Source in times of trouble, we will find that He is always there for us. He will comfort us in our time of need and help us find peace in the midst of pain. So if you are feeling pain and struggling today, pump up this episode for a reminder to turn to the One who loves you most.
