His books, which have sold more than 12 million copies, include The Difference Maker, Be All You Can Be and Failing Forward.

The trick is to develop and enhance your talents and maximize your abilities so you can reach your goals. You will accomplish more if you focus on improving your talents than you will if you add other principles to your talent.    Now before going forward we need to understand what talent means: Many sees  Talent as a gift, or aptitude that one naturally have.  Talent is the skill that someone naturally has to do something that might seem  hard to others.

CREATIVE WAYS TO MAKE MONEY AS A WRITER

TOPIC:*Creative ways to make money as a writer. Taught by:Homa Phebe Jameson     Writing is the act of recording on paper or any platform by which what is written can be read later.We all write,we may not all be writers yet, but we all write. In the church, school,at home, on the road, office etc.   Writing with pen and paper is soon fading away. We now use our fingers as pen and phone,tab,laptop,ipad as paper.Writing is a skill. It is also a Gift to some others. Habakuk 2:2....And the Lord answered me, write the Vision and make it plain upon tables(ipad,system,wall of your house, etc) that he may run that readeth it.Writing shows an intention to commit to something.

The book " Redeeming Love " written by Francine Rivers is a Christian Fiction and romance novel which is almost replica, more like a retelling, of the biblical story of Gomer and Hosea. The book has two versions, the original which was published in 1991 and the second version published in 1997. The essence of the second version was to make it more presentable to Christian literature market. More editing was done on the original copy in a bit to remove some coarse words and love scenes, making it a clean read.  It is a novel that is beautifully written with so much grace and eloquence.

Suddenly, Sarah's mother, Mae, stops receiving support from her lover and so retorted to sleeping around to fend for herself and her daughter. Unfortunately,

The first key word to note in the above scripture is 'Faith'. I would like to ask us a quick question before we proceed. What is Faith
