Healing and Restoration from Abuse

A CBM Christian Book Review - 10.0 out of 10.0 stars

Wonderfully Written ~ Breaking the Silence by Diamante Lavendar is a touching fictional memoir written through a series of diary entries by the main character of the book, Joan Eastman. The character has bought the diary to journal her second pregnancy. Beginning with a poem written by the author, the poem sheds light on the beauty of the Lord’s keeping of you in your life and the fleeting temporal world that we live in, giving all hope for the future available in the Lord. 

Her book continues with fading in-and-out of memories and glimpses of the characters life, revealing horror of young innocence that was stolen and abused, Eastman’s memories of child abuse portray abuse that began at two-years-old and continued for many years. Encouraging all to not internalize abuse, the author speaks out to inspire others to break the cycle of silence that victims of abuse often endure in their suffering.

As the book transcends into the depths of child abuse and the wounding, the author reflects these journeys with life-lessons learned that reveal an overcoming spirit. She reveals how the Lord was there at every “winding road” that helps readers understand such issues as: anger, emotional and sexual abuse, the damage of stuffing emotions, self-esteem, hatred, perfectionism, self reflection, and so much more that offers readers hope and faith in God, offering a realization that with help from Him, they can overcome all abuse and neglect in their lives.

Throughout the book, many different seasons are revealed in the character’s life, displaying just how God carried the character through all the dark times. A restoration of hope and a personal relationship in the Lord  developed over the years in the character which sheds light on the fact that whether abused or not, all readers can relate to the different seasons of one’s life and look back upon their lives to see the hand of God active upon their life. This is the main theme of the book intertwined with breaking the silence of abuse that the author has creatively conveyed.

She also wants others to know that they are not alone. Encouraging all to look to God and that there is hope, healing and restoration in Jesus Christ. This book comes highly recommended for those that need help and encouragement in processing abuse, giving them a foundation in the Lord, and helps lead them into recovery by offering hope through Jesus Christ.

Christian Book Marketing - For The Self Published Christian Book

Self publishing a Christian book can be challenging for a new first time Christian author. Having assisted in the publishing of over 100 Christian books through various programs and packaged, we understand the process, the ins and outs, the do's and don'ts and how to make the process fun, simple, and economical.  Fun, simple and economical should be three musts for every self publishing Christian author.


Yet even when all the ink dries, once the author has written their manuscript, the editing, proofreading, interior book design, file creation, book cover design and publishing is completed. Then comes the next big challenge and for some, this challenge can prove to be more intense than the publishing of the book.



Promoting a new author's Christian book release is as important as publishing it and for the Christian author, Christian book marketing requires tapping into the hearts of the Christian reader through expanded marketing in the Christian Marketplace.

Christian Book Marketing - Self Publishing Assistance for Christian Authors

It takes a lot of hard work to publish a great book. Once the author spends endless hours writing the book, then comes the book editing, proofreading, interior book design, file creation, book cover design and the entire publishing process.  

We had a blast working closely with Bob in the publishing of his new book release, The Red Letter Parables and The Red Letter Parables Red Letter Edition.

Bob is not only a great author, but also a great guy who dearly loves the Lord and has a deep desire
to share Christ with others.   In the course of working with Bob, we exchanged a tad over 100 emails. That was the fun part. Getting to know Bob, hearing his love and heart for God, the  excitement within him about the publishing of his new book and simply sharing some great fellowship. 

Bob also has a great newsletter that he sends out weekly and each post is fun to read, informative and thought provoking. A must have.

Here is Bob's testimony about our Christian Book Publishing Assistance for the self publishing Christian author. It is testimonies like this that make all the hard work worth every hour of it. ~ Thank you Bob for letting CBM be a part of what God is doing through you and your new book release.

Bob Palumbo Testimony  

I contacted Smitty and the good folks at CBM and asked them to do a book review for my first book, "Unlocking Creation," and I was so impressed with the job they did that I decided to publish my second book with them and trust the entire process to them. 

It was a great decision. Their passion and attention to detail surpassed anything I had seen from self-publishers. They not only edited and published the book, but we're a great help with promotion as well. I highly recommend them.

Be sure to visit Bob at The Red Letter ParablesAmazon or catch up at Bob' site, Unlocking Creation.

Christian Book Marketing - Christian Book Signing Events

Having a Christian book signing event at your local church or local bookstore is a great way to promote your book and sell copies. Christian book signing events are very popular and with a little work you can find local churches and Christian bookstores that would love to have you set up a book signing table, greet people and share your new book release.

This is especially popular with local bookstores both secular and Christian. You are not just trying to sell a few books. You are putting up a professional display, interacting with customers and it's good publicity for the bookstore.

Once you have secured a date to have your book signing event, you can also find local free advertisement for the event. Bookstores love the fact that your book signing event is going to be promoted and draw customers to the bookstore.

Below is a perfect example of what a book signing table should look like. We assisted Craig with the publishing of his recent book release Christian Basic Training which is available in paperback as a 6 x 9 and also as a workbook size of 8.5 x 11.0 from the author or at Amazon.



Be sure to visit Craig's ministry site 


Christian Book Marketing - Social Media Author Book Marketing

Social Media is huge. In fact, it is beyond huge. And when it comes to marketing any product, social media is a huge plus. For the Christian author, social media is a great way to start adding to your overall Christian book marketing plan, however, it should only be exactly that, an addition.

What most people don't know is when it comes to facebook or twitter, both provide great platforms in the social media craze, however, it takes time to build a following, gain followers and even make a dent in the social media market. No one simply opens a facebook or twitter account and has 1,000 plus follows the next day. It takes months and months and for some, years to gin followers. It also takes working t it, daily to gin followers.

There are people out there that for a price will set you up a facebook page, twitter page and even get your book listed at Goodreads. Considering it takes about 15 minutes to set up anyone of these and there are millions and millions of users doing it everyday. You will find that you can easily set up a facebook page, twitter account and navigate getting your book showcased at Goodreads. 

So before you shell out the money to have someone do it for you, visit the following sites, register for an account and take a quick look around. You might find it a whole lot easier than you thought.





Christian Book Marketing - New Book Release

The Forum: A Deadly Game of Wheat and Tares
By Author: Ronald Winters


A Must Read - The Forum: A Deadly Game of Wheat and Tares by Ronald Winters offers a riveting fictional account of “real world end time events, current day attitudes and directions of the spirit of the times in which we live.”

Barak Zonman, starts off this fast-paced thriller, blending elements of espionage with a religious and political polarization that affect the masses of population around the World. In the book, there is a conspiracy to bring all faiths into one large interfaith religion and Barak Zonman and his popular TV show – The Forum must be eliminated.

This begins with Zonman, the show’s founder. The Forum “is a faith oriented call-in TV show designed to let viewers question leading members of the clergy.” Controversial in nature, this show sparks debate – and hinders the worldwide current of leading all into one faith and world peace. This novel of the wheat and tares is an amazing book written to those that would seek truth in God and the true Christian faith.

Running for his life, Barak finds sanctuary in a church and finds himself radically changed by a baptism by water, followed by a baptism of the Spirit, as evidenced by the speaking in tongues. Highlighting this issue, the author speaks of the controversy between believers on being “born again” (either by just statement and belief and/or by receiving the infilling of the Spirit, as evidenced by speaking in tongues). 

This radical way of being born again and receiving the Spirit is what Apostle Paul spoke of, thus, the book sheds light on God’s way versus man’s way. Man’s way and God’s way are running a collision course to the End Times in this book that reveal an exciting plot of scenarios begun by two Prologues that concurrently blend modern-day questions and events that has been spoken of in Bible Prophecy. The author also notes that we are in the time of the Olivet Discourse that Jesus speaks of on the Mount of Olives, mentioning the time of Jesus return as near since the birth of Israel in May 1948.

In the back of the book the author offers his personal testimony, delivered instantly from prescription drug dependency when “he looked in the mirror” and repented of his ways. Holding fast to true repentance, the author advocates true Holy Ghost filled deliverances and that the modern-day believer should have them as a norm, instead of replaced by the Forum so to speak – the modern day church who compromises and duplicates the actual workings of the Holy Spirit by replacing them with good theology, programs and modern day mood alteration technology. He also offers observations on some relevant issues, two being backsliding and tithing.

The Forum comes highly recommended for those that look to fill the void inside, but are not sure what they are looking for. And for those that enjoy thrillers with the elements of religious and political overtones. Recommended either for a personal read or as a tool to reach the unbeliever, the book highlights the End Times and gives a faith-filled read that speaks of the true evidence found in an all-powerful God. Based on Barak’s faith-filled experience, the book offers challenging questions to believers and to non-believers (the wheat and the tares) as to the times that we are living in and gives a warning to the group of believers that call themselves, the Church.

Christian Book Marketing - Thy Kingdom Come

In Thy Kingdom Come! The author, Patricia Said Adams, takes a new look at all the passages in the Four Gospels where Jesus talks about the kingdom, even some where he doesn’t mention it. No matter, the kingdom and our entry into it was always his subject matter. In Part I there are Jesus’ descriptions of the kingdom from the Parable about the Mustard Seed to the Parables of the Net and the Sheep and Goats to many other references. 

Then in Part II are the teachings about how we can get into the kingdom, what qualities we need to have, from being prepared to loving God with all of ourselves to loving our neighbor as we love ourselves. In Part III she draws conclusions about what God wants for and from us in the context of promoting the kingdom and living in it here on Earth.     

For Jesus the kingdom is a reality here on Earth. He talked of it as being near and within and among you. But it is also hidden in plain sight, only a potentiality to most of us. There are certain levels of relationship with Christ that we have to achieve to even see it, much less to live in it. He is calling us to be in the world, but not of the world, so that in actuality we would be living in the kingdom primarily but not bound by the ways of the world.    

The lens of inquiry about the kingdom in "Thy Kingdom Come!" focuses on this question: how do I, how do we, live a life centered in Christ in the 21st century? The author has been a spiritual director, a blogger about living a life of faith in God, and a longtime follower of Jesus Christ. This book will challenge how you think about God and yourself and about the depth of your relationship with God. It will invite you to not settle for a limited encounter with the Holy One, but to seek the deepest connection between you and God and to live out your created purpose. It will invite you beyond following the rules to a life centered in God. It will make the kingdom real to you.   

Christian Book Release - Bible Prophecy

Title: Look Up: Redemption in This Generation
By: Jim Zeigler
A CBM Book Review
10.0 out of 10.0 stars

Look Up: Redemption in This Generation by Jim Zeigler is a result of over 25 years study of Jesus’ Olivet Discourse. With a general synopsis, the author relates Bible prophecy in an easy-to-read book of what Jesus said to His Disciples on the Mount of Olives as they asked about the end of the age in Matthew 24. “. . . tell us then, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” (Matthew 24:3)

Taking readers through his belief of when the time clock started to tick (1948), the author magnifies Scripture, revealing a journey through Bible prophecy of the End Times without complicated overuse of Scripture. Offering faith, and hope in Jesus, this book Is an excellent read to obtain a grasp of what Jesus said as He spoke to His Disciples about the coming end of the age.

With the inclusion of Scripture, Bible prophecy is an important topic. He notes that we can see Scripture fulfilled before our very eyes, and that God’s Word will not return to Him void. With modern-day events seemingly in our daily headlines, this book gives readers a compass to go by.

Offering Scripture from Old and the New Testaments that shed light on the very things Jesus spoke of in His discourse on the Mount of Olives. In particular, the author has framed this book upon God’s Word, bringing deeper understanding to the mystery of Bible prophecy in layman’s terms, with an easy to follow format.

Look Up: Redemption in This Generation is recommended for individual use or within a small group.

This book comes highly recommended to those individuals that want to study the Word and a book that is supported Scripture.

Smitty is a gift with his creative writing talent, desire to please AND help aspiring Christian authors market their books. CBM Christian Book Marketing is eager to help, encouraging, and easy to work with. ~ Christian Author Lila Senter

After the release of my first book, Put Away Childish Things, I found that writing the book was the easy part. The challenge came as I began to spread the word about the book beyond my circle of friends. CBM Christian Book Marketing provided a degree of expertise in the field that I did not possess. Their contacts in the industry proved helpful in creating a broader presence in the Christian marketplace. When I released The Chase I came immediately to CBM to take advantage of their insight and knowledge to help me gain exposure much earlier in my sales process.  "Smitty and others seem to care sincerely about my success. I'm grateful for the relationship and the positive impact CBM has already made on my sales. If you get a chance to work with them, I think you will find it an overwhelmingly positive experience. ~ Dr. Kirk Lewis
