Local Publicity Opportunities Crop Up to Proactive Author Duo
Rev. Frederick A. Kohler and Gregory A. Banks had merely to plant a seed to see their book take root. In their hometown of Altoona, Pennsylvania, they have experienced success with book sales.

A clarion call to an attitude of persistence, Rev. Vincent N. Paul's book, Persistence Works!, has received admirable coverage in several renowned publications. New York Daily News featured Paul in the "Big Town, Big Dreams" section of the paper. The full-page article covered his book as well as the topics of ministry and marriage. Additionally, Paul is planning to make an appearance as a guest on the Christian Broadcasting NetworkÕs "Turning Point," hosted by Victor Oladokun and Kathy Edwards.

Since releasing his book at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., Paul has appeared on World Harvest TV's "The Harvest Show," the TCT TV Network, KCHF TV, and LifeSat TV, among others.

Book About Hope Earns a Solid Three Stars
Foreword Magazine's Todd Mercer recently sank his teeth into a copy of Robert Hammond's award-winning Grace Period: The Awakening of Abel Adams. The book earned praise from Mercer for being a "hope-gathering book designed to please fellow Christians with the outcome." Indeed, the reviewer's one complaint was understated: "A simple help-me-God prayer ushers in a redemptive Christianity that works like a charm [for Abel]. The reason for this substantive difference isn't provided, making the success seem random. Implied assumptions regarding the power of the Christian religion aren't up to the explanatory standard established by previous events; the ending is partially unearned." Hammond, nonplussed, remarked that "it's not the best [review] I've received, but three stars isn't bad." The full review can be retrieved at http://www.forewordmagazine.com/clarion/search_reviews.aspx?Searchtype=Title&SearchCriteria=grace+period.

Word Spreads About Book 14 Years in the Making
Rick Gowdy has climbed the ladder of success all the way to the top with his Agape Love, How Important Is It Anyhow? A book 14 years in the making, it stemmed from the fact that the author could not realize why biblical godly love was not being taught thoroughly as a doctrine. He was included in an article of the Canon City Daily Record and made an appearance at Words of Life Christian Book Store in his hometown of Canon City. Despite his powerhouse success, nothing could prepare him for the recent death of his wife of 20 years. "She taught me far more about how to love than all I have ever studied," says Gowdy. "To say she was my example would be an understatement."

Buzz Builds Over University of Mississippi Student's Book
Joshua B. Young holds the distinction of being the first African-American student at University of Mississippi to publish a book. The author of Poetic Thoughts Coming to Fruition says, "After the first article on my book, I contacted the University PR to ask if I was indeed the first African-American student to publish a book on campus. After about two weeks of no response, one of the PR agents contacted me by email and told me the great news." After responding to them, Young was again contacted and asked to participate in a photo shoot for the accompanying article on his book. "I felt like a movie star," Young says. "They took almost 40 shots! The best news of all is they told me this article would be featured in newspapers statewide and in Memphis. This was the best news I've heard all semester."
After the article publicizing Young's book cropped up in his school newspaper, he made a deal with the campus bookstore to carry his book. As soon as he did, the news began to spread. Not long afterward, he spoke with the editor in chief of the Daily Mississippian, who sent a columnist to interview him. The result was a front-page article in the newspaper.

Book Scales Mountain of Critics to Receive Heapings of Praise
The second book of the Spiritual Summits series, Edward Aponte's The Elementary Summit develops in its audience a Christian worldview and helps them reach new heights. But cynicism isn't the only obstacle it has scaled, as the book recently won praise from Paul McShane of Good News Etc. The laudatory review begins by admitting McShane's skepticism, "but after a few chapters and the exercises that follow[ed] at the end of each one, he had won me over completely_Aponte has used Scripture after Scripture like a climber uses pitons to support his ascent. The scholarship in it makes it very profound as well and can no doubt be traced to the author's theological studies at Cedarville University, Moody Bible Institute, and Bethel College."

City on a Hill Takes Flight with Publicity
Once upon a time, Xulon author Diana Crews wrote a little book called City on a Hill Prayer Journal, designed for families and individuals who want to reclaim and record their godly heritage. That little book has since spread its wings and taken flight with a series of interviews and book signings in Crews' native Alabama. The busy author took time out from her schedule to pop into Dove's Christian Supply and also chat up Ann Varnum of WTVY Dothan. Additionally, the author found herself spotlighted in the Sunday edition of the Dothan Eagle Newspaper. Not bad for a book with humble beginnings-as the brainchild of 25 years of observation in the Department of Human Resources and a solution to the overly rampant "ills of society."

Author Uses Book to Assist in Rites of Passage
Kitty Arceneaux has been lending a helping hand lately to her church's youth. The veteran author of What's My Life All About? has included her workbook as part of the Rites of Passage program for the youth at Church of Faith in Slidell, Louisiana. The program, sponsored by YES! (Youths Entering in the Spirit), lasts for nine weeks and includes such topics as self-esteem, living for Christ, relationships, influences, love, sexuality, and bondage breaking. Arceneaux's book was written as a tool toward gaining the knowledge and understanding of God's Word and stemmed from her frustration at the fact that most people wait until they are older to discover who they are and who they are in God.

Xulon Press Alum Secures Spot as Featured Author on Webzine
Jeff Ovall has landed a primo spot as Yellow 30 Sci-Fi’s recent featured author. The webzine, located at www.yellow30scifi.com, provides a platform to promote self-published authors and is dedicated to spotlighting both lesser-known and famous voices of science fiction and fantasy. According to Ovall, “They read my first novel, Chronicles of the Hedge, and loved it. Then they read my second novel, The Man Who Saved Christmas, and asked if I would be a featured author for their site.” The author is certainly no stranger to the sci-fi genre. In Chronicles of the Hedge, he explores the futurist view of a one-world government at the very edge of human history. The Man Who Saved Christmas is a witty observation of the political debates that arise every Christmas during the display of the nativity scene.

The company’s Lakeland, Florida, store can’t keep copies of the book on the shelf for long.
