Advocate USA Publishing Offers Christian Fundraiser Program with $7,250 in 30 Days or Free

November 3rd, 2009

Advocate USA Publishing has entered into the Christian Fundraising Program market with a powerful product with a new twist.  “We have managed to work out an agreement with our authors which provides new Christian fundraiser ideas for a flooded, exploited market,” says Rick Setter.

Dallas, Texas, November 01, 2009 — Advocate USA Publishing has entered into the Christian Fundraising Program market with a powerful product with a new twist.  “We have managed to work out an agreement with our authors which provides new Christian fundraiser ideas for a flooded, exploited market,” says Rick Setter.

“There is a shortage of quality Christian fundraiser programs and we are offering a fresh approach.  We provide our finest books at cost to organizations.  This is only possible through the generosity of our authors.  They receive no compensation unless the organization is successful.  No other program has this kind of commitment from the maker of the product.”

Advocate USA Publishing offers the program for both large and small organizations.  Quality Christian fundraiser ideas are badly needed in the market.  “Advocate USA provides the best new quality Christian fundraiser idea to enter the market in many years,” says Beth B., a United Methodist Youth Minister.

The program involves the participating fundraising organization distributing quality Christian books to their community.  The twist comes in the amazingly low cost to start the program because the author’s have waived their rights to royalties for 60 days from order date.  This allows organizations to easily net $7,250 in funds in less than 30 days.  If the organization is not happy with the results, they may return materials for an absolute refund.  If the organization is successful, they simply pay the author’s royalties directly and keep their share of the profits.

“This represents an incredible commitment from our authors to quality Christian fundraiser ideas,” says Mr. Setter.  Full information can be found at a site with a twist on the name – www.chrisitanfundraisers.com .  “We misspelled it on purpose because it is such a completely different approach to quality Christian fundraiser ideas.”

Organizations are welcome to visit the site or to call 1-800-936-0812.

Self Help Turns to Christian Author for Authentication and Integration

October 21st, 2009

Spirit Thinking Improves Christian Self Help Programs Current Offerings

Dallas, Texas, October 19, 2009 — Self Help authors such as Wayne Dyer and even Dr. Phil have attempted the bridge between self help secular wisdom and inspired Christian self help.  A new author, Reece Manley, may have made the connection missed by others in his work Spirit Thinking: Your 30 Day Guide to Enlightenment.

“What Dr. Manley has done is to combine the effectiveness of cognitive theories with spiritual principles and, in my opinion, has brought about the first true Christian and spiritual self help programming,” says Craig Matthews, Ph.D.  “As a secular counselor, I am impressed by the approach of Spirit Thinking and the results they are obtaining through the commission studies of <a href=”http://www.SpiritThinking.net”>TRI Consulting</a> seem to bear out one simple fact:  Christian self help is effective if done correctly.”

“What I tried to do with Spirit Thinking,” says <a href=”http://www.SpiritThinking.net”>Dr. Reece W. Manley</a>, DD, M.Ed., MPM, “Is combine functional parts of cognitive psychology with spiritual principles in a way to bring about almost immediate effects on our thinking.  Once thinking has been inspired, behavior quickly follows suit.  While traditional psychologists are tied to the limitations of the human brain, I believe those working through a Christian self help or spiritual self help work are unlimited in their reserves to draw upon because the source of change is the Creator of us all.”

TRI Consulting has rated the approach of <a href=”http://www.SpiritThinking.net”>Spirit Thinking</a> as being effective in initial results in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, addiction disorders and increasing self-esteem and a universal positive outlook.  “Christian self help can now claim an effective tool in Spirit Thinking.  Christian self help author Reece Manley seems to have the lead on the pack,” says Dr. Williams.

Spirit Thinking is based upon Dr. Reece W. Manley, DD, M.Ed., MPM’s Spirit Thinking: Your 30 Day Guide to Enlightenment which is widely available, including on Amazon.com.  A number of churches, including the United Church of Christ, and service organizations such as the YMCA are being offered the project for consideration in their ongoing development.

Audio Bibles Released For Large, Small Groups

May 4th, 2009

For Immediate Release:
Faith Comes By Hearing, the world’s foremost Audio Bible ministry, recently released Audio Bibles in five more languages.

The following Audio Drama New Testaments are now available for ministry purposes:

• Gitonga – Mozambique
• Izere – Nigeria
• Quechua San Martín – Peru
• Waiwai (UaiUai) – Brazil
• Chinese Mandarin (Studium Biblicum) – China

These new offerings represent more than 873 million people on three continents. Faith Comes By Hearing now has 424 Audio Scripture recordings available in 359 languages. Nearly 400 of these Audio Bibles are available for free online Bible download.

The size and location of the people groups represented varies dramatically; the Chinese Mandarin, with its 870 million speakers, are located across the globe, and the Waiwai, which has 2,000 speakers, reside in the northern Amazon jungle basin.

First Brazilian Indigenous Language
The Waiwai Audio Drama New Testament is Faith Comes By Hearing’s first indigenous Audio Bible recording in Brazil.

Brazil has 258 tribes, and almost as many different languages—235. More than 90 of these tribes are cut off from the outside world, living deep in the rainforest and firmly protected by the Brazilian government. Out of these 258 tribes, only 20 have strong, indigenous church leadership; but there are more than 35 indigenous languages with a New Testament translation ready for recording.

Low Literacy and Bible Engagement
Some of the people groups represented by these Audio Bibles have significantly low literacy rates.

For example, among those who speak Quechua San Martín, only 10% of the people can read their own language. In Nigeria, among Izere speakers, a mere 1% can read. To these and similar people groups, the truths and hope of Scripture are locked away in the written form.

Morgan Jackson, Faith Comes By Hearing’s international director, said these statistics show the great need for God’s Word in a format people can use—audio.

Faith Comes By Hearing’s mission is to record the New Testament in 2,000 languages and to start 1.8 million Bible listening groups by 2016 to reach the 50% of the world who cannot read and live in deep poverty.

Audio Bibles for Poor and Illiterate People
Jackson said one of the first stories that captured his heart and highlighted the need for Audio Bibles for poor and illiterate people came from missionaries who distributed Spanish printed Bibles in Mexico.

“One of the missionaries on this trip looked over and saw a woman sitting on a bench with the Bible open on her head,” he said. “She was just sobbing, so the missionary sat beside her, and through her tears, he tried to get her to explain what was wrong. She kept sobbing, and finally told him that she couldn’t read. She told him she knew that in that book were the words of life for her and her family. She said she was praying for God to take those words from the pages and put them into her heart.”

From remote, rugged locations to thriving urban centers, this story is common. Half the world—roughly three billion people—is unable to read.

“All over the world there’s a hunger to use these recordings because so many of the people don’t read,” Jackson said. “Please help us reach the poor and illiterate people with God’s Word in audio.”

ADDITIONAL RESEARCH
6.6 Billion—World population
50—Percent of illiterate people
$157—Cost to sponsor a village
200—Audio Bibles set to record in 2009
30—Audio Bibles recordings released as of April 2009

100th Anniversary of Joan of Arc’s Beatification

April 3rd, 2009

This April will mark the 100th anniversary of Saint Joan of Arc’s Beatification by the Roman Catholic Church in 1909. The official pronouncement was issued on April 11, 1909, and a ceremony attended by thousands of people was held at the Vatican on April 18, 1909. A special page at MaidOfHeaven.com has been set up to celebrate that contains a picture of the ceremony, a translation of the official pronouncement of beatification and a copy of a newspaper article from April 19, 1909 describing the ceremony.

Why is Saint Joan of Arc still remembered today? Her life was one that contained great triumph as well as great tragedy and she has inspired people down through the ages with her example of bravery and self sacrifice. Sir Winston Churchill, the legendary leader of Britain in WWII, once wrote of her: “Joan was a being so uplifted from the ordinary run of mankind that she finds no equal in a thousand years.” Mark Twain, the great American writer, described her as “perhaps the only entirely unselfish person whose name has a place in profane history.”

In the official pronouncement by Pope Pius X that was issued on April 11, 1909, the Pope described Joan of Arc as “a witness to divine power, which has chosen what is weak in the world to confound what is strong.” This 100th anniversary in an excellent opportunity to again remember this amazing women and all that she accomplished in her life.
