As we work on the finishing touches for the Bible study Redeeming Sexual Love …By the Power of God’s Plan (RSL), we’ve also been researching the publishing process. We’ve decided to publish with BelieversPress. BelieversPress is the self-publishing arm of Bethany Press.We’ve discovered that BelieversPress offers three options in self-publishing. The first option offered, practically speaking is for those who have published previously and know what they are doing (That’s not us! JJJ). The next two packages differ by the amount of guidance included in regards to sales and marketing.
The basic level we feel is an option for us is the “Launch Package". This package would set us up with the basics needed for sales and marketing. BelieversPress helps us with creating templates and entering the book into the marketing system. Once those tasks were accomplished, we would be on our own in terms of navigating our way through distribution and increasing people's awareness of its availability. The “Professional Package” contains everything from the Launch Package and includes six months of guidance through the network of advertising and sales.
We have been encouraged by several people that we should not underestimate the value of marketing, and to consider how to develop a marketing strategy. We have some who have promised to support the publishing of RSL financially, and we are hoping others will join in. The goal for publishing this study is to share the Word of God relevantly on the topic of sexual love. In our years of marriage, the Lord led Greg and Me through quite a journey of healing our relationship. With our varied pasts, addressing our sexuality and our sexual history was an enormous part of the healing process. We've begun sharing this journey with others at a personal level. As the Lord creates opportunities, we've committed to sharing our life and our understanding of His plan with others. We'd like to make this Biblical journey available to an audience wider than the people in our immediate proximity.We are not publishing with a goal of making money. We are asking those who are able, to help us be able to share relevant Biblical truths with others who may be struggling through relationship issues. If you are able to help us by contributing any amount, please let us know. You may contact us directly or by using the "Contact Us" option to the right, on this screen. We'll get back to you immediately, and keep you updated in the months ahead.Thank you for your interest in this corner of our ministry. Redeeming Sexual Love … By the Power of God’s Plan is all about the power of redemption in our lives, even our sex life. It is practical, and spiritual. Redemption begins with the Lord working practically through understanding His plan. We trust that He will provide and lead us that we may share this Biblical journey in the way that honors Him.
