  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Made the top 100 on Amazon

I have floated in and out of the top 100 in Mens Adventure for my new book
Task Force Intrepid: The Gold of Katanga by D.R. Tharp

Although its not a 'christian novel' it does involve the kidnapping of missionaries and one of the men struggling in his faith in the midst of hell on earth.

I intend in my Series to have christians represented in a positive light though the world around and the subject material is pretty violent and dark. I have a manuscript that I will be releasing sometime this year about WW2 and a conscientious objector who becomes a medic and it is heavily christian and a very gritty war novel. It doesn't fit within CBA guidlines and would be deemed too religious for secular publishers.

I've just decided to not fool around with 'fitting' in and write what is in my heart and give men a reason to read again books with spiritual content. My books will be gritty to the core. Amazon has made it possible for anyone with a voice to write an publish. The market gets to decide what is good and what is junk. Not the CBA. Cheers to everyone trying their hearts out to write and complete their books ! D.R.

You are what writing is about. To put what is in one's heart into written words in hopes of others becoming inspired, is I believe, the key to writing effective stories.

Thanks for sharing brother. I recently published an ebook on Amazon, "A Chat with God." So, we'll see what happens. I completed two other books, 23,000 words each, but I'm waiting for the editing and cover designs to be completed.

How long did it take you to climb in the top 100? What marketing tips can you provide?

Hope to chat with you soon.

God bless,
Josh
