"Child of an Alcoholic to Daughter of the King!"

written by Chris Bartholomew


it should be coming out soon, i have nothing on it, but within a week i should have maybe the first page or somthing posted, and the site to buy it from :)

it may not be sold in many places, but she is very happy about it, as am I.

BTW, its about her life, she didnt have a great one, it will be a moving book IMO. i only got the chance to read some of it, i couldnt read anymore >>

lol yeah, ok. it sounds like its a christian book, but its really not, well kinda, its about her growing up, and then in time it tells how she became a preachers wife, but mostly its to help people in need because of some of the things she had to go through, like i said, its deep and hard to read.. maybe more so for me because im her son


oh, and she has another one she is working on, it too will come on, maybe even this year

it isnt a very big book, like 500 pages or so

when i was little she wrote one, it was sooo big, had to of been like 3000 pages long, all on type writer.
but my dad started school, and was going to start preaching again, and make it because of his schooling, and my mom thought that her book wasnt fit for a preachers wife (back then... thens were alot diff') so she ended up throwing it away >_>;;

but now she has this ione coming out soon, another one she is almost done with that she knows will come out, and another one she has started on..
she has some poems in a book somewhere aswell, i wish i could find them but ..i cant

That's a good idea, keep me informed. Cause I'll definitely want one. I like finding new authors.

ok, my moms first book "Child of an alcoholic to Daughter of a King!" is now out, we have it and everything ^_^

go to www.publishamerica.com/books/5898 to order it!

also, her 2nd book is done and is soon to come out, its called "Why is your hand in my pocket?, and other sermons" this is a book about how preacher should preach vs how they do preach. i will post a link to how to order it once it comes out

ALSO she is writing a 3rd book and they have already accepted it so it will come out, she says she should be done with it by next week the name of it is "A walk of faith" it is about how to walk by faith and why the "prosperity message" doesnt work, and what does

the 2nd two books are to help christains in there walk, and the first is well..it too is to help but not only christains can get somthing out of it

a stress hard that you all should atleast look into getting these books.

also i am starting on my first book "Burglar in the house of God"

it is about the church Tithes and offerings, and how the church preaches to much about money, in the Bible it says t o give 10% of your pay to the church, that IMO is between you and God, and why should i give my money to a church that preaches only about money..if thats all they talk about, i'm learning nothing about God.

this book will piss off every chruch, but it isnt for the church its for the people

I'm not sure that your book will piss off every church laggy, all the churches that I've been to believe that it is about giving the amount of money you believe is right with you and God. What denomination of churches are you of?

(Oh and best of luck to both of you)

im looking for one that will give me a min lol

go to http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/8/prwebxml151576.php to learn more about my moms first book, but..PA (publishamerica) seems to be down or somthing so we cant get to where you buy the book :(

The Deity
09-02-2004, 05:36 PM
:hmm

I go to Baptist churches usually...been to a couple others though. But if its just about offering I don't see why it would. Care to elaborate more?

Laggy

well, every chruch at some time does preach about money, this book is saying that doing so is wrong, i have always been in chruch, and my dad is a preacher, i know for fact that the 3 churches i go to, and atleast 4 of the ones i have gone to, will be pissed at me, lol

The Deity
09-02-2004, 05:55 PM
I see, well best of luck to you then. I hope the churches excpet it, because you're right.

Laggy

the church wont, and cant, it goes against them, they would think that they'll lose money because of this.

but its not for them, and i dotn need them... the very worst that could happen is that my church not want me anymore, preach against me, or kick me out of college. either way, i could make alot of money with this, and at the same time be telling the truth 100%.

so thanks, and once it is done, and out i'll let everyone knoe..

my mom will have 3 books out by the time i have one, i bet anything on that

my dad is also going to white one lol... our whole family is getting into this :)

Well I'm glad to see you with this attitude on this. If your church would start preaching ill about you, it would certainly be a giant blunder within that church.

Laggy

as of now everyone in the church likes me alot, the head bishop and owner of the many churches we have, will not like this book...he alone could kick me out...still, i dont really think he will, and if he does it will help me out to tell the truth, because my dad is going to start a church in jasper GA. and if i got kicked out of WHI church, the church would splite, and more then likely follow me to my dads chruch lol
