Rev. Grant A. Houser, M. Th. Review of the Book

  It is Tuesday. Monday's madness is over, and Wednesday will take us over the hump, so Tuesday it is--for some serious discussion with authors. Tuesday talks mean to address authors in waiting and self-published authors who would like to go a more traditional route or who would at least like to take their steps with a publisher by their side.  Today we take a moment away from our usual content to talk about an end-of-life preparation issue. This issue affects publishers, authors, and authors' families. What happens when an author dies? If all has been taken care of properly in advance, the next of kin inform the publisher, and the published continues to pay out the author's royalties -- to the designated family member. The problem is when not everything is taken care of properly in advance. Consider these two stories, associated with our publishing house, MSI Press.

  excerpt from Everybody's Little Book of Everyday Prayers (MacGregor): -  Prayers of Thanks   From prayers of supplication, it’s logical that we move, next, to prayers of thanks. After all, we were all brought up to say, “Thank you,” at the appropriate times, which includes thanking someone who gives us a gift or does something nice for us, and certainly that rule is just as applicable in our ongoing dialogues with God. If we asked Him for something, and we got what we asked for, isn’t it only proper to tell God, “Thank You”? Here are some prayers thanking God in various situations.   Thanking God for answering a prayer/granting a wish   Thank you, merciful God, for answering my prayer/granting my wish. I am truly grateful for Your beneficence and mindful that Your hand is in all that happens, and I have You to thank for all good things that occur in my life. I will not forget You, forget Your power, forget Your beneficence, or fail to appreciate what You have done for me. Amen.
