We need to be prepared so that even the few words we quickly scribble in our books are meaningful and bless and encourage our readers.Linda Gildenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05295443973808257046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-81613946703748896972018-06-13T12:14:19.752-04:002018-06-13T12:14:19.752-04:00Good advice and council... thank you for sharing y...Good advice and council... thank you for sharing your experiences with many Book Signings...will print and keep it~~~sherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05509277882289484277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-65477267581861069942018-06-13T10:33:01.612-04:002018-06-13T10:33:01.612-04:00I wish I'd known these tips several weeks ago ...I wish I'd known these tips several weeks ago when I was put on the spot to sign one of my books.

It worked fine with Christians, but during a signing with a group that included a lot of non-Christians, a lady looked at it and asked What does is 3018 mean? Pronouncing my abbreviation for Isaiah as "is" the article. I told her what it was and she did a head slap, but I wonder if she was only trying o cover for her not being up on the books of the Bible. I'm not more careful with what I use as a reference and consider the group who is there. LOLPamela S.
