People of the Book

The other day I posted about my desire to jump onto this supposed gravy train of bloggers getting book deals. Someone apparently saw it and decided to contact me. But he apparently didn’t read THE REST of my blog:

Hello,

Greetings to you in Jesus' wonderful Name. He is our ever appearing King.

We are preparing for the new season of book releases throughout Europe, Africa and the USA. Since you are probably working on a manuscript now, you are the perfect candidate to contact first.

We are seriously looking for cutting edge, prophetic books that contain a 'now' word for the nations.

We are also looking for manuscripts that lay Christian foundations or deal with relationships, children, teens; or carry a personal testimony of hope and love.
To talk about a manuscript, please contact me directly, the founder and CEO of [company deleted] at [e-mail address@deleted]. Please visit [website deleted] to see all our books and our monthly new releases.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Every blessing,

[Name deleted]

I never thought I was a candidate to write the next “Left Behind,” but maybe I am. After all, it’s not like being a member of the tribe ever stopped Irving Berlin, Neil Diamond or Kenny G from writing or recording Christmas music.

Any chance he thought you were the anti-christ? http://slate.msn.com/id/45483/ Maybe they are just looking for a fresh perspective.

Ha! I actually met Jeffrey Goldberg a few weeks ago. Maybe he passed "anti-Christ" gene onto me.

maybe they thought you were a Messianic Jew? I've had this confusion happen to me: I once shared a book about Hanukkah with a devout Catholic who had questions. She returned the favor with books outlining how Jews and belief in Jesus can co-exist. The books were published by a Messianic press.
