PUBLISH OR PERISH?
A SPECIAL WORD TO MINISTERS

If a Pastor doesn’t have a book within his soul demanding to be published, he simply doesn’t
understand the power of the Spoken Word captured by the Written Word and his words live but a
brief moment only to be soon forgotten

Within 90 days you could be a published author! It all depends on where you are in making your dream of being an
author a reality.
Maybe I am assuming too much, but my guess is that you, like thousands of other pastors, have a deep desire to
transform your spoken messages into a well-written book that could: extend the reach of your preaching and
teaching ministries, preserve messages truly inspired by God,and allow your ministry to continue long after you
have retired or moved on to Glory.

Even if you haven't written your first word, or you have felt you didn't have time to write due to the demands of the
ministry, we have a system that could have you published in 6-12 months. If you have already started on a
manuscript and you just need editing, you could be published in as little as 90 days. Actually writing a book is much
easier than most people understand. In fact, writing is the easy part. The problem for most people is the obstacle
of getting the book published. "At Dare 2 Dream Books, we make publishing possible. We are committed to
working with you to transform your messages into print.

Dream with me for just a moment. Picture your best, God-inspired messages being read by people throughout your
community, state, country, and perhaps the world because someone in your congregation passed your book on to
someone who passed it on. That’s the power of the written word. Think about getting a call from a complete
stranger somewhere hundreds or even thousands of miles from you calling you and telling how your messages
transformed her life.

I was traveling just a few months ago and met someone who had received a copy of my marriage counseling book
from a friend. He spend our first fifteen minutes together simply thanking me for the difference my book had made
in his life. At that moment in time I realized that all the blood, sweat and tears that went into the writing and
publishing of my book could not compare to the satisfaction that I had deeply touched and inspired the life of
someone I had never even met. At that moment I understood the power of the written word and how it had
expanded my counseling ministry.

Think about the deep feeling of fulfillment when one of your very own members asks you to autograph your book
because your messages had a profound influence on his life. Then he asks you to sign several other books for his
family and friends. For the past several years my congregation has consisted of the multitude of people I minister
to through my counseling ministry. I had been counseling a couple for over a year before my marriage counseling
book came out. When it was finally in print, I gave them a copy just out of gratitude for their faithfulness in coming
to counseling. I must admit I truly felt blessed when the husband, who had been the most resistant in the process,
came to me after the session and simply said. “Please autograph our book. We want it to remind us of our
valuable sessions and time spent in you office.”

That’s the power of Dare 2 Dream Books. We at D2D have developed a simple, economical, professional, and
timely way to publish your book or books. Traditionally, you would labor over a manuscript until you thought it was
perfect then you would contact traditional publishers who would write you a kind letter of rejection. The decision to
publish was theirs not yours. Some editor, looking for the next million dollar seller skimmed your laborious efforts
and because you were not someone well known or your subject matter was not politically correct decided that you
didn’t deserve their attention.

D2D has created a paradigm shift. With Dare 2 Dream, you determine whether or not your book is worth
publishing. We at D2D simply offer consultation in concept development, organization, continuity, the flow of the
book and readability. If you want it into print, we are committed to making it happen from concept to hard copy.

At D2D the priorities of ministry and mission supersede money. We promise to work with a “limited budget”
mentality. We will make it happen both economically as well as strategically. We’ll talk cost in a minute, but I
promise what we are offering will blow you away!

Being an ordained minister myself as well as holding an earned Doctorate, I understand the desire of most ministers
to publish. I literally self-published my first major book dealing with conflict within the Church. The advertising alone
costs me thousands of dollars. I published my second book on marriage counseling through a non-traditional
publisher who charged me thousands of dollars to market my book after they published it. I knew there had to be a
better way—an easier, less expensive way to publish my books. I had already learned the important lesson that if I
wanted any marketing done, it was up to me to make it happen. After two years of extensive research and the
completion of my third book, I decided to seek God’s help in finding that “better way.”

After I received my first shipment of books at a total investment of a few hundred dollars, I knew I had discovered
how to get my books into print and into the marketplace without mortgaging my house or maxing-out my credit
cards. What I discovered in this process gave birth to Dare 2 Dream Books. Not only have I the desire to publish, I
also believe God revealed to me that thousands of pastors have the same desire, and are faced with the same
hurdles and obstacles. From that revelation was born both our mission and our ministry. D2D is committed to
publishing as many books as possible for pastors such as you and to do so economically and compassionately so
that virtually anyone can transform his spoken messages into a written record that can expand his or her ministry
and outreach.

Let’s talk about marketing for a moment. Most ministers are not seeking fame and fortune. If God bestows such
gifts they are accepted with a grateful heart. I believe that many ministers simply want a written record of their
inspired messages. The fact is that the majority of ministers desire to publish in order to provide another vehicle to
open doors and expand their sphere of influence. But that’s not the bottom line. I also believe that they already
have a ready-make market in their congregation and community as well as their association with other ministers
from which to launch a successful marketing effort.

Everyone wants to know what is in it for him, so allow me to address this important question. What is the value of
publishing with
D2D? Consider the following: The executive staff of D2D are committed Christians with a heart for ministry. Why is
that important to you? It’s important because we view our mission as a support ministry to pastors across this great
nation. We are not concerned with political correctness, we are concerned about publishing the inspired Word of
God as it is preached by his chosen leaders.

We have no doctrinal agenda. We are true to publishing your inspired messages not ours. If you believe that what
you are preaching is inspired of God, we believe you should consider preserving and publishing what you proclaim.
What this means to you is that you control the content of your work, not us.

We offer you the ability to get your book delivered to you quickly and economically. We believe that you cannot
find a better total publishing package. Although we must make a living to survive just like you, we choose to offer
our publishing package at the lowest possible price while still keeping our doors open. This translates to a golden
opportunity for you to finally fulfill your dream.

We offer the all the same basic services as other publishers you research on the internet, only we do it for a lot
less. In fact we use the same printer as companies like Zondervan, Simon and Schuster and Oxford University
Press. This simply means that you will not be sacrificing quality for economy.

You also keep the rights to your book. The intellectual property and copyright of your book belongs to you. We
offer you a non-exclusive agreement that allows you to take your book to another publisher if you so desire, or sell
the rights to a traditional publisher.
In addition, your profit depends on you because you not only make the decision to publish; you also determine the
price your book will sell for.

It doesn't matter what stage you are at. From just dreaming about publishing to having a manuscript ready to go,
Dare 2 Dream is committed to assisting you in publishing your important message and to do so economically. I
promise you, you can afford to publish.
Contact us to discover how through publishing you can extend the reach of your ministry, the life of your message
and the breath of your mission. When you call ask about how you can receive a free copy of my most recent book,
The Most Coveted Secret of the Ages.

We are excited about the potential of this offer. We know from first hand experience the difference being published
can make, so why not contact us immediately for more information.
