Presenting my books as fine art has become the delight of my life. But as usual, my way is unusual. Writing in InDesign makes fine art ePUBs possible and I love it. Of course the limitations of HTML are always going to be a problem. But InDesign can do a lot. Another part of the problem is that you never really own your ePUBs. Kindle, Books, Nook, and Kobo plus all the rest of the distributing companies … Continue reading →
We must be who we are in the midst of the assault. The barrage of lies tempts us, with its confusion, to give up and let someone else do the deed. Our focus must be on Truth. Truth is a person, the one who we accept as the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. Yeshua Messiah is Truth. He defined it when He created everything in this 3D universe. Jesus defined truth, beauty, love, holiness, … Continue reading →
Procedure or satisfaction seems to be the crux of this problem I’m seeing. It’s not recognizing where the life is coming from. A large problem is my tendency to see importance without thinking things through. But this has been going on for a long time. I finally learned what the core problem is. Part of it has surfaced again recently as I have turned to evangelical pastors on YouTube for teaching scripture. At least they are covering … Continue reading →
New Styles for ePUBs in InDesign —this is one of the wonderful things I discovered while I was researching and testing for the revised procedures for making excellent ePUBs in my new book, Niche Publishing for Believers Using InDesign. I was just going edit/proof my old Book Publishing book. It’s twelve years old or a little more. But as I got into it, I ended up with a massive revision. I have learned so much in the … Continue reading →
The doctrinal warfare ends for good. Good riddance, that is. It was necessary for a while. But now it increasingly inhibits the believer’s life. How can I possibly say that? Because it has changed from a necessity to a blockage. The doctrinal warfare ends for good, no longer needed Churchians cannot even imagine the freedom of following the Lord more directly. Doctrines brought the church into feudalism. Armed fortresses with doctrines forming the outer defensive walls. The … Continue reading →
A little touch of reality from the latest novel being published. This is not Truth, but it touches it. Reality is truly amazing. A little touch of reality to counter the media Maja shook herself. With a large smile she replied, “The Lord just gave me a glimpse of that reality. I have seen other glimpses in my new relationship with Antonne. This new life in the Kingdom is truly amazing.” Rachael began, “Lord Jesus, I am … Continue reading →
David Blatner defines design in his latest weekly posting on Linked-In. It seems good enough to me so I decided to share it with you. It’s not earth shaking, and has nothing to do with spiritual reality. But my hope is that you find it helpful. David Blatner defines design What is design? Design is not about making stuff look pretty. It’s not about making it “pop” or look cool. Design, at its core, is the practice … Continue reading →
The Bible will not save you, only Jesus. This is a large area of confusion in the American church today. Jesus himself made that clear in John 5: 40. I had one of my characters in my current novel post about this on her blog. Sakura is a Japanese-American who was recently radically saved. She’s being mentored in a new believing mentorship school being built in Northfield, Minnesota. Helaena is her mentor. Let’s throw in another copy … Continue reading →
A definitive statement on the suicide of America by Dr. David Reagan is a refreshing read. This is the truth as I know it, and Dr. Reagan shares it clean, clear, and to the point. It’s not popular, but it’s accurate. As he says, this is not the time for patriotism. It’s time for massive repentance. I do not see that happening, nor does he. He lays out our position thoroughly, and clearly. He’s got it all … Continue reading →
Araldo is a headline font with spunk for today. I needed something with a little life for my new book production group: Biblia Serif, Dreatha, and now Araldo. This new font family is doing well for me. Biblia Serif and Draetha are both excellent book production font families. In other words, they are not memorable. In fact, if they do their job well, you don’t even notice them. But as I mention in the flyer to the … Continue reading →
