Chesapeake Weddings Featured On Lyn Cote’s Blog

3 Replies

My writing friend, Lyn Cote, has featured me on her blog today. She’s placed the first page of Chesapeake Weddings on today’s post. If you haven’t ordered Chesapeake Weddings, I encourage you to do so! Amazon has only one copy left, and copies are still available on Christianbook.com – the copies on Christianbook are a few dollars cheaper than elsewhere. Also, if you buy at least 3 copies from Christianbook.com, the price drops even more – $4.99 per copy! As I’d mentioned in an earlier blog post, the book is out of print and discontinued, BUT, copies are still available in some bookstores and some online stores. I just saw two copies at the Barnes and Noble in Bowie Maryland last Sunday!

Also, you might want to go to Lyn Cote’s website and check out the submission guidelines for most major Christian book publishers. I’ve found this information helpful over the years, and, one time, I used this information to submit to a new line at a publishing house and I ended up landing a sale at that publisher! The publisher didn’t acquire my book for the new line that I was targeting (the one I’d discovered through Lyn’s website), BUT, they did agree to publish my novel for one of their existing lines!

King Nebuchadnezzar

Daniel 4:28-33
28 All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar. 29 At the end of the twelve months he was walking about the royal palace of Babylon. 30 The king spoke, saying, “Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for a royal dwelling by my mighty power and for the honor of my majesty?”

31 While the word was still in the king’s mouth, a voice fell from heaven: “King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: the kingdom has departed from you! 32 And they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. They shall make you eat grass like oxen; and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses.”

33 That very hour the word was fulfilled concerning Nebuchadnezzar; he was driven from men and ate grass like oxen; his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers and his nails like birds’ claws.

Looks like King Nebuchadnezzar turned into an animal. When God speaks, we should listen! I wonder how hard it is for most of us to hear God’s voice. Can you imagine, hearing that message directly from heaven? At times, I wish I could hear God so clearly. Sometimes, when we go through our lives, we’re unsure about so many things. We pray about them, think about them, wondering what God wants us to do and we still are unsure. Do you think you ever hear God’s voice as clearly as King Nebuchadnezzar?
