Have you noticed that when you've made a purchase on
Amazon they tell you that others who purchased the same product also purchased other
recommended products? Every time you
sign into your account, Amazon shows you products that may interest you based
upon recent purchases. Amazon has
algorithms that track their customer’s preferences and they are based in part
on reviews. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
This is why I’m requesting Amazon reviews and
star-ratings. I need to get my book out
to people who do not know about it, and your reviews help move it into a
broader audience. So, with that in mind,
I have a proposal for you all to consider.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I have two $50.00 Amazon gift cards to give away next
Friday, April 3, 2015. Here are the two
requirements: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<b>First</b>, go to
Amazon.com and leave a review about my book – <i>Polycarp, a destroyer of our gods</i>.
It doesn't have to be long, nor does it have to include anything about
me. What did you think about the book,
and could you recommend it? That’s all. Write a couple sentences or more if you
wish. You can use your name, initials or
even your online alias. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<b>Next</b>, using
Facebook messaging or going to my website; www.polycarpthenovel.com; provide me
your email address. You know, of course,
that it will never be given out or sold to anyone else. I simply wish to stay in touch with you
regarding my writing. Email addresses
are an author’s lifeline to the real world.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Next Friday (4/3), two names will be drawn for the free
$50 gift card. I’ll contact you if you
won, and mail them to you. The reviews
aren't for me; I already struggle with pride and praise only makes the struggle
harder, however, they are helpful in introducing the book to other potential
customers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Even if you’re not finished reading the book, you can
tell people what you think. Will you
help me? I would certainly appreciate
it. Thanks!<o:p></o:p></div>

Truly, the heavens declare the glory of God in fascinating splendor. Our lives can do this as well when we take

<div class="mypreference">
I love to read! I
enjoy conversing with authors through their books
whether it is John Piper, Elizabeth Elliot, John Owen or Polycarp. Of course, enjoying the fellowship of the Bible
with its Divine Author is a reader’s greatest privilege. But when it comes to buying books, and
deciding on which to read, it can often be difficult when considering an
unfamiliar author. Even in Solomon’s
day, there seemed to be an over-abundance of books as he stated in <i>Ecclesiastes
12:12 – Of making many books there is no end</i>…
<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="mypreference">

<div class="mypreference">
What makes the
difference? The reviews! I’m not necessarily looking for the big name
reviews, though that couldn't hurt. I’m
looking for the average reader. I've
lost count of the number of purchases I have made (beyond books) based on the
thoughts and opinions of others regarding a product. <o:p></o:p></div>

most of my books were bought and read based upon the recommendation of a friend or some type
of review. That is why I need
your help. New books like mine may as
well be named <i>Discoveries In Obscurity</i>, by <i>I.M.
Nobody</i>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

Your reviews will help draw the attention of others who
don’t know me, but are curious as to what others thought of the book. It’s an
obvious hope that everyone would read my book (<i>Polycarp, a destroyer of our gods</i>, if you didn't<i>“literary masterpiece!” “A must read!”</i> Be that as it may, a simple explanation as to

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
If you leave a review on my website or my Amazon site, for example, people will be inclined to
consider it. I suppose that no review is
better than a bad review, but a bad review reveals that someone actually read the book; that is the hope of every author.
Even if you read it and don’t like it, you can review it as a great,
moisture-absorbent coaster, a door stop, or even a fire starter log. <o:p></o:p></div>

The book market is competitive, and I need an edge, and
reviews help provide it. If you need
some prompting to aid you in writing a review, let me give you a few

<b><i><span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">Why read this
novel?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">December 6, 2014<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="mypreference" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We live in a
culture that likes to be governed by the “how to’s of life,” when we should be
more inclined to learn by “observing how.”
Learning by seeing and
participating tends to cultivate a desire
to learn and lends itself to the
discovery of new approaches and methods.
I’m not undermining book learning, but more, focusing on the creative
use of facts. You know what I mean; the
difference between knowing something and
using what you know or are learning.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="mypreference" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="mypreference" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Novels are often
an overlooked means of combining learning with observation. We understand the importance of a good
biography, why can’t we see a novel in the same light? Of course,
some novels are equivalent to mental cotton candy, and serve no real purpose
but to bring their readers into a fairy-tale life. That being said, even in those, principles of
right and wrong can be identified, as are the rewards or consequences of
decisions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="mypreference" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: .5in;">

<div class="mypreference" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A recent study from
Emory University concluded that reading novels can help boost brain power. “<i>The neural changes that we found associated
with physical sensation and </i><i><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">movement systems</span></i><i> suggest that reading a novel can transport you into the body of
the protagonist,”</i> says neuroscientist Gregory Berns, the study's lead
author. <i>“We already knew that good
stories can put you in someone else’s shoes in a figurative sense. Now we’re
seeing that something may also be happening biologically.”</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="mypreference" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="mypreference" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">For most of my life, I have loved reading, but resisted
reading novels. “They’re a perfectly
good waste of time,” I often thought to myself.
But a few years ago, during my consulting days, a close friend
recommended that I read the book “The Goal; a management-oriented novel by
Dr. <span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Eliyahu M. Goldratt</span>. It was great, and let me see how principles
of leadership dovetail with the real issues of everyday life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="mypreference" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="mypreference" style="line-height: 115%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">That book sparked the thought for my novel – <u><a href="http://www.polycarpthenovel.com/" target="_blank">Polycarp, a destroyer of our gods</a></u>. I wanted to help and edify others in their
spiritual growth, and this seemed like a great avenue. I desire to help Christians know more than
just theology. My passion is for the follower
of Christ to live in the reality of how God trains and disciples us in living
out the theology of His truth. He wastes
no moments, no trials, no blessings or people.
Everything fits our lives to draw
our focus to Him and his work in our lives.

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Polycarp was born into slavery, was mentored by the
Apostle John, and provided stable leadership in the church when the apostles
died. How could God take a boy from
slavery and make him a champion of truth? History reveals that such men are not made out of an easy life, but as
trained and disciplined soldiers of the cross. They are made to make in impact on their
generation and generations to follow. It’s the experience of God’s guiding grace in
the face of trials and the cruelty of life that prove the greatness of God in
our lives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Guy de Maupassant
a nineteenth-century French writer and
considered by many the father of the short story said: “The public is composed of numerous groups whose cry to us
writers is: <i>‘Comfort me.’ ‘Amuse me.’ ‘Touch
my sympathies.’ ‘Make me sad.’ ‘Make me dream.’ ‘Make me laugh.’ ‘Make me shiver.’ ‘Make me weep.’ ‘Make me think.’”</i> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This is what I have strived to do in <i>Polycarp, a destroyer of our gods</i>. When you are finished reading it, I hope you
see yourself as one being trained and formed by the one true God to have a life
that destroys the gods of men. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Take a look at
my novel. Enjoy it, and let it challenge you by waking spiritual desires and stirring godly passion. Ultimately, let it serve as comfort and as
a comparison as you look at your life in light of the life of Polycarp, a
destroyer of the gods of mighty Rome.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
