“To be effective, the preacher’s message must be alive; it must alarm, arouse, and challenge. It must be God’s present voice to a particular people”. –AW Tozer Throughout the generations, false prophets and insincere teachers have always pretended to have the best interests of God’s people in mind. They claim they are human instruments who have received direct words of the Lord through the Holy Spirit. But in the final analysis, they do not represent God, and they harm the sheep often to the point of costing them their souls. Who are these false shepherds and how can we distinguish a true shepherd from wolves in shepherds’ clothing? That is the question Pastor Tavares Robinson explores in Shepherds, Hirelings, and Dictators: How to Recognize the Difference. In this eye-opening book he covers: –Is it biblical to judge? –The “American” gospel versus the gospel of Christ –The scheme of Scripture-twisting –The “first fruit offering” scam –The truth about the prosperity gospel and more Pastor Robinson shows readers how to open their eyes and come out of false teaching into God’s marvelous light where there is true healing, encouragement, and restoration.

Should EBooks be Part of Your Internet Marketing Strategy -ebook internet marketing resale.infosultan.com total

Ebooks have become and inseparable part of the new frontier of cyberspace. They are a great medium for sharing marketing information, ideas, techniques, and expert knowledge. Each day the number of people accessing the Internet grows, causing the exposure of your ebooks to increase incrementally. It’s obvious why electronic self-publishing has become so popular so quickly

300 Manual Article Submissions. One Time Tool! Limited Time Offer http://www.TopArticleSubmission.com/

 Ebooks can assist small business website owners market their sites and in some cases even become a source of revenue.  Having said that, let’s look at what makes ebooks so important and so unique.

“Ebooks have unique characteristics that printed books can’t match. For example, ebooks are relatively easy to produce and they can be inexpensive to produce. Just think about it: you don’t need a publisher, an agent, a printing press, offset film, ink, paper, or even a distributor. You just need a great concept, the ability to write it or to hire a writer, and the right software.

“Ebooks can be easily updated.  As information changes, ebooks can be updated without a second print run. All you need is to go into your original creation and modify the text or graphics. Because of this flexibility, ebooks can change and grow as fast as you can type.

“Ebooks are convenient. You don’t have to go to a bookstore or search through endless titles at an online bookstore. All you have to do is download it from a website, and presto! It’s on your computer, ready to be read.

Private Label Rights Articles (PLR) are a fantastic way to add new content to your website  http://www.Free-Plr-Article.com

 “Ebooks are interactive. This is one of the most unique and specific qualities that ebooks offer. You can add surveys that need to be filled out, order forms for customers to purchase your products or goods, sound and video that draw your reader into the virtual world of your ebook, even direct links to relevant sites that will expand your ebook outward. The potential is virtually limitless.

“Ebooks have a particular kind of permanence that other mediums do not possess. Television shows and radio shows air once, and then may rerun a few times. Ebooks remain on your computer for as long as your choose, and they can be read and reread whenever you choose to. They can even be printed out and stored on the shelves of your traditional home library.

“Ebooks have very low entrance barriers. You don’t need to go through the endless process of submitting your manuscript over and over again, and then once you land an agent, having the agent submit your manuscript over and over again. Nor do you have to shell out thousands of dollars for printing a self-published book. All ebooks require is a writer and appropriate software.

How 2 Format your Ebook in Word & Convert to a PDF file (Part 1)

Writing an e-book is not as difficult as it may sound – in fact, anyone can do it! Most people write Ebooks for marketing purposes, for example, to spread the news about their website or product promotion. Of course,Ebooks are also a great idea for any author who cannot get published the traditional way.

So how do you format an e-book yourself if you are not working with an online publisher that usually handles all the formatting issues for you? Luckily, it’s very easy to prepare a manuscript for Ebook distribution. Most people use Microsoft Word and then convert the file to PDF format.

The Majority of e-books are sold in Adobe Acrobat’s PDF file format, however, the designing of your Ebook will first be done in Word (some people may have to use Pagemaker or Quark for more complicated designs containing illustrations).

The good news is that you don’t have to own a version of Adobe Acrobat to convert a Word file into a PDF format. At the same time, owning the Adobe Acrobat program will allow you to add neat features to your Ebook, such as hotlinked URLs, forms, and pages imported from other programs. This gives an ebook a higher quality appearance. Adobe costs about 0.

The Design

A good Ebook has to be well designed and well organized – you don’t want it to come off looking cheap and unprofessional. Fortunately, it’s very easy to use the features available in Word for proper formatting.

Page size. Ebook pages are usually between 5×7 and 6×9 (5.5×8.5 is the typical format). Set the custom page size in the Page Setup menu of Word.

Margins. Use the Format: Document command and set margins to at least three quarters of an inch on all sides. If you want to include a header or footer in your Ebook, set the top and bottom margins a bit larger. Turn off the Mirror Margins option as well.

Headers and footers. Your Ebook should have a running header at the top of the page for most people this is the book’s title and the page number. Input this information flush left, flush right, or center. There are a few different combinations, so choose something you like. It’s recommended to use a smaller font for the header/footer and italic or bold to make it stand out a bit. Make use of the Border command to create a line between the header and text this comes out looking quite nice.

Font. Stick to standard fonts such as Times, Times New Roman, Century New Century Schoolbook, or Palatino. Arial or Helvetica are a good choice for chapter headings and subheads. As far as size goes, use 11 points for the main text, and 12-14 for subheads. Test the fonts you’re considering before making a final choice to find a winning combination some fonts look better on the screen than when they are printed.

Formatting is rather easy, so don’t let it intimidate you. Play around with Word and your Ebook will turn out great.
