"Before You Publish" by Tim Wourms, President of publishing for CSN Books and Legacy Line Publishing, helps authors bring their books booksto the Marketplace. You can download your free copy by going to csnbooks.com.
At CSN Books and Legacy Line Publishing, your book is proofed at least twice, once after the edit and once after typesetting. These proofs are performed by two separate proofers.
The typesetting process involves both technical and artistic elements. The technical side has to do with the proper alignment of the book, including the placement of headers and footers, and the creating of a flow that keeps the reader from being frustrated. This process can be very difficult because it is like working with one large file. If you change something on page 9 of a 100 page book, then that one change could impact pages 10 through 100, thus causing the typesetter to reformat or at least re-examine the flow for the entire book.
The artistic side deals with how a typesetter presents the book. This could include a unique presentation of the chapter headings, font choices, a special design, picture insertions, call-out boxes or Scripture layout. Typesetting is one of the most critical and time-intensive phases of a book’s creation, yet it seems to be vastly undervalued by many low-budget publishers. As a result, many authors who believed they were getting a quality product from a publisher ended up with an inferior book that could not be promoted properly within the publishing industry due to shoddy typesetting.

Typesetting Formats
"Before You Publish" by Tim Wourms, President of publishing for CSN Books and Legacy Line Publishing, helps authors bring their books booksto the Marketplace. You can download your free copy by going to csnbooks.com.
At CSN Books and Legacy Line Publishing, your book is proofed at least twice, once after the edit and once after typesetting. These proofs are performed by two separate proofers.
The Formatting of Your Book
Typesetting is converting the “typewriter” look of a manuscript into lines and pages of type that make it look like a professional book.
A well typeset book must meet the industry standards concerning leading, kerning, headers and footers, and these areas are critical to the success of your book (however, it is not critical for you to understand these terms). Typesetting is often the most ignored phase of a book’s creation process by self-publishers, and even by many subsidy publishers. It is frustrating for us here at CSN Books and Legacy Line publishing to constantly see the poor typesetting jobs our authors books have received from other publishers. We are constantly having to undo the work of others just to bring the book up to a level that is acceptable within the publishing industry.

Basic Bible Doctorine by Richard Barth
Often when we hear the words "doctrine" and "theology" we are left with an idea of abstract religious concepts of interest only to those trained in the field. In their simplest definitions, though, doctrine is teaching and theology is the study of God. Nothing can be more practical and exciting than coming to know and understand our Lord, and what He has taught us through His Word.
This book brings to written form a Bible study course developed by the author during his almost 50 years of ministry. Its purpose is to take a systematic look at the teachings of the Bible and to do so in such a way that any Christian, regardless of his educational background, can understand.
Over the years this Bible study course has helped many come to a practical understanding of the Bible. It has helped them see that the Bible is not teaching a religious system but rather it is revealing God and His ways, man and his need, and God's provision to meet man in his need. Through approaching the scriptures in this way we come to see how truly awesome God is, and how truly life changing a relationship with Him can be.

MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS: A Special Blend, written by Christian author Debbie Snyder
Excerpt taken from Chapter One: The Beginning
SINGLE GREATEST DESIRE
As all of my children have grown and moved into their
separate lives I pray a different kind of prayer for each of
them. I pray that wherever God wants to lead them, wherever
He wants them to live, the job He has for them, the
place of worship He would bring them to - whatever His will
is, that is the cry of my heart.
It was hard for me to pray that prayer in the beginning.
It is hard for me to have my children and grandchildren living
states away… but more than anything, more even than
having them live close to me because I would love to see
them and spend time with them - I desire them to know the
gift of salvation and the Father’s perfect will. That is the
single greatest desire I have for them. I want them to have
a heart after the Father’s.
I believe that is His greatest desire for us, to know Him
in all of His fullness, to have an intimate relationship with
Him daily. Therein lies the peace and joy of life.
Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and
pursue it.
(Psalm 34:14)
I will hear what God the LORD will speak, For
He will speak peace To His people and to His
saints; But let them not turn back to folly.
(Psalm 85:8)
Then I will go to the altar of God, To God my
exceeding joy; And on the harp I will praise You,
O God, my God.
(Psalm 43:4)
This book is meant for every woman, whether or not you are a mother. It is a devotional that expresses not only our love for our daughters, mothers, and other loved ones in our lives, but also God's love for us as daughters in His Kingdom. If you are enjoying the excerpts from this book and want to read more, you can purchase a copy of the book by visiting csnbooks.com .

MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS: A Special Blend, written by Christian author Debbie Snyder
YOU NEVER OUTGROW IT
I do not think you ever outgrow “MOM”. Henry Ward
Beecher puts it like this: “What a mother sings to the cradle
goes all the way down to their coffin.” Even if our relationship
with our mom is strained we like to think about or
imagine it to be different. I believe we search for that rela-
tionship within ourselves to help make us a better person.
All we can do is try to be the best mother we can and to have
the best relationship we can with our own mothers and
daughters.
President Lyndon Baines Johnson said it like this:
“I know something about mothers. There is a thread of
aspiration that runs strong in them. It is the fiber that has
formed the most unselfish creatures who inhabit this earth.
They want three things for their children, to be fed, to be
healthy, and to make the most of themselves.”
I would say more than that as a Christian mother I also
desire for my children to be in the perfect will of God for
their lives and to have a personal relationship with Him, to
live a life that is beautiful in His eyes.
This book is meant for every woman, whether or not you are a mother. It is a devotional that expresses not only our love for our daughters, mothers, and other loved ones in our lives, but also God's love for us as daughters in His Kingdom.
