Self-publishing is getting a lot more respect now a days in part because publishing companies are seeing that it has become very popular, they are following the money and establishing divisions that manage self-publishing. Also, it is being recognized that self-publishing authors do not solely resort to doing so because they cannot cut it: do not write well enough to have their books accepted by publishers, etc.
There are other issue involved such as not wanting to give up copyrights, wanting ultimate creative control, and not wanting to or not being able to, for example as my friend did, pay $700.00 just for a book cover. When you add the cost of editing, front matter, index, marketing, etc., etc., etc. it can easily cost authors thousands to publish their book(s): someone I know is currently paying $5,000 to have his book published.
Indeed, I have a love/hate relationship with self-publishing: Love it because I am in control, if I want to change/edit anything I do it on my own and on my own time, I can write about any subject I want, etc.
Hate it because there is no marketing involved and so, for example, if you sell them on Amazon you are just a tiny drop in a ginormous bucket and are thus, virtually invisible.
This brings me to the please buy directly from authors point because, back to my example, when you purchase from Amazon they essentially get a huge cut of the money for doing nothing but listing your book on their site (and, of course, they put the paperback together).
Thus, it is always a good idea to purchase books directly from the author as that way, the author make a little more money per book. On Amazon, as my ongoing example, you can click on the author’s name which should take you to that author’s page and their bio should have a link to a website from which you can contact them directly—or, otherwise, just see if you can look them up online.
I was selling my books via CreateSpace (where I actually create the books) and also via Amazon. CreateSpace paid higher royalties than Amazon (even though CreateSpace is an Amazon related company). Well, they recently closed down their e-store so now my books are technically only available on Amazon, which pays really low royalties—it is literally hardly worth it for an author to sell books on Amazon unless they are writing about weight loss, business, romance novels, etc.
Thus, I would like to make a mutually beneficial offer—if you (and all of those whom you will surely tell ;o)—will buy my books directly from me then I can make a little bit of a better royalty and you can save some money.
1. Just look up the book(s) you want at Amazon or see below.
2. Use donate page here.
3. There, once on the PayPay page you can…okay so, here is the deal: free shipping for all.
If you do not get free shipping on Amazon then just enter the selling price of the book and I will not charge you for shipping.
If you already get free shipping on Amazon then just take a couple of bucks off of the book price, I will not charge for shipping and we will call it even.
4. On the PayPay page: click on “Share my mailing address with TrueFreeThinker” so that we can connect about which book(s) you want—if there is no way to communicate that info within PayPal (I will not email spam you or mass email you ever).
I pray that you and whomever you will share the info with will be able to help me out by purchasing some books and that I can help a little by saving you a few bucks, at least.
Thank you for hearing me out (or, reading me out).

Description:
A point by point consideration of Rev. Dr. Mel White’s publication “A Biblical Response to the Question People Often Ask…’How can you consider yourself a Christian when you are also gay?’ What the Bible Says-and Doesn’t Say-about Homosexuality.” Some currently relevant issues to consider are why do some claim that the Bible does not condemn homosexuality? Because we now have a better understanding of original languages, the grammatical, historical and cultural context and finally realized that for millennia Jews and Christians have been wrong since they did not realize that the Bible approves of it? Because the politically correct cultural movement de jour demands that homosexuality not be condemned and that politics, laws, society, theology, etc. be changed in order to fit with the homosexual movement’s worldview? Why are homosexuals so overrepresented, and positively so, in various forms of media? Because they are such a vast majority that it makes statistical sense? Because there is a concerted effort to deconstruct, redefine and re-educate society so as to have it abandon Judeo-Christian principles?
“I am gay, I am proud, and God loves me without reservation”—Rev. Dr. Mel White
