Author

     In 2007 I completed my first book, Except the Father Draw Him--A Journey With the Spirit of Christ. It contains theological ideas and theories that I developed and validated using the Bible for confirmation. I consider myself a kind of "layman theologian," and have found it both exciting and inspiring to venture into this kind of intellectual and spiritual exploration and writing.

      For many years I have been an avid reader of books by theologians and biblical scholars.  I have especially studied the works of St. Augustine and Jonathon Edwards (a past president of Princeton University).  I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Eastern Illinois University and a Master of Science (M.S.M.) degree from Cardinal Stritch University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

       You can purchase an autographed copy of the book from me directly, or order it from www.Amazon.com.

                                             Evangelist

       I would like to invite you to join me in sharing the unique "Jesus Said Campaign."   I was led by the Holy Spirit to launch this campaign.  It has developed into an exciting national grassroots movement.  

       All that's involved is sharing some of the words that  "Jesus Said" in the Bible and spreading their special blessing.  There is no charge involved, except the modest cost of reproducing the one-page, single-sided flyer if you choose to also share it.  My commitment is to freely share and freely give this inspirational message.

         You can read the "Jesus Said" flyer by clicking hereYou can also print it out from this link. The PDF format will produce a very nicely formatted printed copy of the flyer that you can use as a master copy to make additional photocopies from if you choose to pass this blessing along to others. Please refrain from placing any advertising or promotions on the flyer itself.

My Early MLM Days

     I swore off home business opportunities about seven years ago, but not for the reasons you might think.  I was actually an extremely successful marketer and was the top national distributor for a well known MLM (multi-level marketing) company.

     I recruited a phenomenal numbers of downline distributors and I developed my own training and development systems.  People kept begging me to tell them my secrets and help them to be more successful.  I didn't have the time to handle so many requests, far less work with people one-on-one, so I started publishing a newsletter called "Distributor Strategy" and developed some training materials that I could share with other entrepreneurs.

      As successful as I was with recruiting and marketing the products sold by that well known  MLM company, it became clear that retaining recruits was a much more difficult matter than getting them to join and purchase products for a few months. The drop-out rate was very high, and despite my sharing of the strategies I had developed and successfully used, most of my downline distributors were either unable or unwilling to duplicate my efforts. So I got more and more stressed and burned out from the constant pressure to bring in more and more new distributors to "plug the holes" left by the ones that were dropping out at an alarming rate. 

     I have to admit that by the time I left that business I had a bad taste in my mouth about the whole MLM industry, even though I had been able to become one of those top-earning distributors and was in the top 1% of that company's distributors. It was like trying to work in quicksand. 

 

Finding the Christian Inspiration Gazette  

 www.christianprosperity.com/sandmark.html

      Once in a very great while a home busienss program comes along that is so special, it changes the way you look at your whole life situation and at home business opportunities. The Christian Inspiration Gazette (CIG) and its income opportunity has been that special of a program for me.

         In the course of 20 years of some level of involvement in home business opportunities, I have researched and analyzed literally hundreds of home business programs. And guess what?  None of them were designed to help Christian entrepreneurs with their total life situation like CIG does.  It is a rare jewel that empowers its subscribers both spiritually and financially. 

      I believe that CIG provides Christian entrepreneurs on tight budgets with the very best tools for success in their total life situation--financially and spiritually.  It will not be a good fit for greedy people or those who are looking for a miraculous get-rich-quick scheme. It doesn't promise you that you can make huge profits in a short time.  What it does offer, however, is very rare and wonderful thing:  it's a realistic, user-friendly, faith-based system for operating a Christian ministry that helps you and others while building a profitable Christian home business that provides you with a steady and growing monthly income.

       Let me save you several years of frustration and losing money by assuring you that most of the home business programs you read and hear about are not going to work out well for you. Many are scams; others will simply have a very short shelf life; and yet others, while perfectly legitimate, are not structured in a way that ordinary people with ordinary incomes can get into profit with and remain in profit with for the long haul. 

    The Christian Inspiration Gazette inspires and motivates me as no other home business opportunity has ever done, and I thank God for leading me to it on a daily basis.  I encourage you to read my affiliate CIG website, including the 7-page detailed report on the income opportunity connected with it and a sample issue of a recently published Gazette.

     I will be happy to talk with you on the phone or communicate with you by email if you are interested in coming on board as part of my team. Since I know my way around the home business industry quite well and am aggressively promoting CIG, I think you would find that I  am an unusually helpful, knowledgeable and supportive sponsor.
