Book-Writing Class
The 15-week Book Writing Class is a huge success! We have almost 200 people attending on a weekly basis, every one of whom is about to be a book author. The level of passion, excitement and vision in the room each week is contagious. God’s power is present to be the “wind in our sails” as we seek after the destiny He’s placed inside of us.
Please Note: This series of classes took place from January through May, 2009! This information is now made available for archive purposes.
This weekly class gives you practical training to be a book author for the kingdom of God. No matter what kind of book you want to write (fiction, non-fiction, teaching, autobiography, testimonies, children’s) you’ll find information and impartation to accomplish your dream.
Some of the things we are covering in the class:
- Why you think writing a book is hard (it’s not!)
- How to create an outline and a table of contents
- Defining the overview of your book
- How to organize your ideas so they don’t overwhelm you
- Fears and obstacles to book-writing will be corrected
- How to publish, market and sell your book
- And much more!
Every attendee will write at least one chapter of their book which will be a professionally-printed book with their own words and their own cover design.

Hi,
Am a visiting pastor from England. My daughter is in first year, and we are starting a 6 week Sabbatical. I am starting to write to book on Joseph entitled, “lIVING THE dREAM”. Came to your seminar last night and found it very useful. Particularly interested in whole Mind-Mapping idea. Would be very grateful if you could let me know your thoughts on best software for windows, asap. Many thanks

Hi Aaron – I tried to sign up for the updates and this is the msg I got “The feed does not have subscriptions by email enabled”
I’d like to find out how to get the cds as I work in Chico and can’t make it to the meetings. Will the audience participation be on the cds as well or just the leader’s answers? Thanks , Janet (there with you in spirit :^)
Janet, thanks for letting me know that the subscription didn’t work. I got it straightened out and it’s working now. Go ahead and sign up again. Then whenever I post new articles to this website, you’ll be notified. Each notification email will provide an instant “unsubscribe” link.
You can buy the audio from each class (except the first week) on each week’s class page. On the right side of the class page, you’ll see a light green box with big circular speaker icon. Click the “Buy Now” button beneath it to purchase an MP3 audio file for $2.95. This is much cheaper than the CDs which I have to sell for $8 due to the fees I’m charged by Bethel’s sound department for CD duplication.
What I will also do is compile all of the CDs at the end of the 15 weeks into one package that can be purchased for a reasonable price. I’ll probably have them duplicated elsewhere so I can get them done inexpensively.
And one more option for you…
I’m planning a Book Writing Conference sometime this summer. The conference will be about 4 or 5 days long and will cover the same curriculum I’m teaching in the class. Many people have said they want to attend the weekly class but are unable to because they don’t live in the area or they’re busy those nights. You may want to consider coming to this conference.
When the plans are finalized, I will announce it on my website.
