My New Book: How The First Christians Changed Dying

My New Book: How The First Christians Changed Dying November 1, 2012
Today I am very excited to make an announcement! Earlier this year I finished writing a book. I thought about a lot of options for publication of it and decided that I was going to release it first for the Kindle. If interest is strong enough in the book I may look into getting it published through a more traditional publishing house. Please check it out and let me know what you think.
Please consider supporting my writing and my education by buying the book.


What’s it about?

The book takes a look at how early Christians struggled with issues surrounding death by looking at how they viewed the Cross, the Martyrs, and their own worship in contrast to the many other world views.

What kind of writing is it?
In this book I have tried to balance the content of serious scholarship with a fun and accessible style so that anyone can pick up the book and follow along.

Who is the book geared toward?
You! In my mind as I was writing I continually thought of how this would sound to my readers. In many ways you are the inspiration and the reason that I wrote this book. I wanted to offer something substantial to the conversation that we’ve been having here for the bast five years.

How much does it cost?
If you’re an Amazon Prime member it’s available through the lending library for free, otherwise it’s launching at $9.99.

Why publish for Kindle first?
Amazon helps writers get a better chunk of the proceeds. By publishing on Amazon I hope to be able to recover some of the cost that it took to write this book, which would be difficult if I went with a more traditional publishing house. If you want to get a hard copy I would encourage you to post a link to it on Facebook or Twitter and tell your friends about it. The more interest there is in the book the more likely it will be that I will explore publishing it more traditionally.
