Book Published: “He’s Alive”

The series is finished. Time to make a few tweaks and move on to something else.

Well, it’s done. My Bible study series A Walk Through Holy Week. On Saturday I typed a few edits from my last read-through, formatted the book for Kindle and print, created the e-book cover, and uploaded the e-book to Amazon. By the end of the day, it was approved and live for sale. This volume actually goes beyond Holy Week and covers the Easter season up to the Ascension.

I suppose I should say it’s “almost done”. I still have to create the print book cover and upload it. That’s hopefully a one-hour task today. Then there will be creating and uploading improved covers for the entire series, because the covers right now could be much better. But new covers can wait for a long time if need be.

I declare the eight-volume series done. The final word count for all eight books is somewhere between 320,000 and 330,000. Of course, total sales thus far for Volumes 1-7 is zero, so I don’t have great hopes for calling the series a success.

Now, it’s time to figure out what to do next. A plan is beginning to gel and will be the subject of a future post or two.

Published: A Walk Through Holy Week – Vol. 5

The e-book cover. I need to tweak it a little.

I had hoped to have Volume 5 of A Walk Through Holy Week published in late July, but I wasn’t able to get my act together and do the required publishing tasks. I finally put my mind to it over the last two days, and the book is now published. Final Teaching covers chapters 14-15-16-17 of the gospel of John, where Jesus gave his disciples instruction, encouragement, and cautions after they had finished eating their Passover meal. It’s a section of the Bible that is rich in words that can help us on our discipleship walk.

So Volumes 1-5 are published. They are:

Vol 1: To Jerusalem

Vol 2: Temple Teaching

Vol 3: Coming Troubles

Vol 4: A Difficult Meal

Vol 5: Final Teaching

The print book cover

Volumes 6, 7, and 8 are written, requiring only editing followed by the usual publishing tasks. Hopefully I can do all that by the end of the year, then be able to move on to other writing.

Concerning Volume 5, as of this moment the e-book is approved and for sale. Here’s the link to the Amazon listing. Just waiting for the print book to be approved and for the two listings to sync up. Hopefully that will happen today.

Just Published: Temple Teaching

Available beginning today. It may later be available at other outlets.

Today is publication day! Volume 2 of my Bible study series, A Walk Through Holy Week.  Titled Temple Teaching, it is available in both e-book and paperback on Amazon at the following link:

Temple Teaching (A Walk Through Holy Week Book 2) – Kindle edition by Todd, David. Religion & Spirituality Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.

Here’s the book description:

This is Volume 2 of the eight volume Bible Study series taking a detailed look at the gospel accounts of Holy Week.

In this book, Jesus continues his teaching in the temple that was covered in Volume 1. He confronts the Sadducees, Herodians, Pharisees, and teachers of the law. We have much to learn from these interactions. Even though these are familiar scriptures, taking a deep look at them can be newly illuminating. The book uses the scripture from the author’s harmony of the four gospels.

The book contains eight chapters, making it suitable as an 8-week small group study covering the Lenten season and a little more. Or use it as a personal Bible study at any time. Each chapter has seven sections that can be used as daily devotional readings.
