Special Request of my Friends
 
I have made many friends over the years here and our other forums.

I am in need of your special prayers if you will be willing to commit to this request.

I need to finish writing my book on the Tabernacle and to do this I must first get my house in order.

Please pray for my physcial strength, wisdom to get the job done and hinderances to be blocked.

I have company coming from out of state for a week the end of June, and when they leave I want to be ready to crack down on getting my book finished.

I have worked over 20 years on this book and want to finalize. Pray for the revelation I need to finish it and the strength and wisdom to do so.

If you would be willing to keep me in your prayers I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks to all my friends!

Thank you. We also have a car we need to sell since my husband's promotion came with a company car as well. That would be two notes gone. In Jesus name!

Sister you were so faithful in praying for my last two books and I cherish your prayers for this one as well.

Sis. Esther,

I will be praying as this is a subject my late father taught on and it
interests me to this day! Go for it...in Jesus Name! And may that house
and vehicle sell so you can get more about the Father's business!:happydance

Blessings,

I haven't had a chance to read any of your books. I think you sent me a link for info about them...could you resend?

I have never been asked to pray specifically for a bonafide book writer. I consider it quite an honor. Praying with anticipatory faith that you'll not only get "your house in order", but will be rested and refreshed to complete the book. And above all else, it will be an inspiration to many, just as you are.

Thank you brother. You are one of the kindest gentlemen I know. :)

I will be glad to resend, however, I am still waiting for the host of my site to get it up and going.

If you want you can PM me your address and which book you would like and I can mail it to you.

Esther 05-07-2008 03:00 PM

Re: Special Request of my Friends
 
Just a little history as to why I NEED your prayers.

I originally named the book Mysteries of the Tabernacle. Then the Lord had me change it to Unveiling the Mysteries of the Tabernacle.

Therefore, as far as I'm concerned He will have to give me the revelation of the "Unveiling".

He has shown me a couple of things that I really got excited about, but I know there is MUCH more I need.

Again, thanks for all of your prayers and I am praying for all of you as well, and for God to send the prayer warriors.

Ron 05-07-2008 03:02 PM

Praying Esther!
The Tabernacle is my favourite Bible study lesson to teach & provides the basis for our NT plan of Salvation found in Acts 2:38!

I would like a copy when it is finished.

Thank you Bro. Ron. I know you have been praying for me and I appreciate it.

I would love for you to have a copy.

I know how hard this all can be sometimes...that is why I have all but given up on it.

You are certainly in my prayers, Esther...

Esther 05-07-2008 03:08 PM

Re: Special Request of my Friends
 
Now for an opinion from my friends.

I began this book because I wanted ONE book that had it all. Or all that I could possibly find to put in it. The book is rather large at this point and I have NOT finished it.

It has been suggested to break it down in mulitiple volumes because the cost would be much higher to make it one book.

My goal was one book textbook style for Bible colleges and teachers. I had to buy many different books to gather all this information and wanted to save someone else from having to spend that kind of money.

What is your opinions and why?

Thanks

It is also as of now 8.5 x 11.

Re: Special Request of my Friends
 
Have you checked out spiral binding?
At that size I wouldn't want to go over 150 pages per volume.

The Mrs is a great proofreader!

PSSST She needs glasses have you checked out in the counsel of many?:D

Yes, we have to give her a pass on that one. She was major overloaded and we squeezed that one in. We are going to update it before reprinting. However, any mistakes you found feel free to write down the page number and paragraph and send either to her or myself and we will make the corrections. :)

Yes I have consider spiral binding AND hardback AND 3 ring binder.

As for pictures I do not have any yet. I need to find an artist that is very, very reasonable yet good. ;)

Breaking it down is a good idea. It could be sold as a set...'The Laver'...'Brazen Altar'...

It would make easier reading, as well as less expense for you.

Thanks I will consider that.

Wanted to give an update.

We rented our house this weekend! And the couple MAY want to buy it at the end of the year. Hopefully!:happydance

We also had three people look at our car and MAY want to buy it. Hopefully one of them will buy.

Thanks for your prayers!
