Not many industries are more complex, more changing and challenging than the publishing industry. To help you, as an emerging author, navigate these sometimes complicated waters, the staff of CSN Books and Legacy Line publishing has complied this book for your information and edification. Before You publish shares answers to questions that our authors and prospective clients have asked us through over three decades of service through CSN Books (our Christian book division), and now, through Legacy Line publishing (our secular book division).
The publishing industry has changed drastically over the last 25 years, yet so many potential authors continue to operate under the old concepts of what constitutes a publishing company. Hopefully, this book will clarify the evolution of the industry.
The “Old, Traditional” Publisher
Many authors still believe that the only way to publish their book is to submit their manuscript to a publisher, wait two to six months for an answer, and hope they accept the manuscript for publication. For the vast majority of authors (estimates range up to 99%), the old process results in a rejection slip.
Assuming that a traditional publisher found your book to be in the top 1% and accepted your book, that meant the publisher would publish your book at no cost to you. If your book started to sell, they would then pay you a meager royalty, frequently as little as 5% (for a first-time author) on the net sales (after they deducted their costs for publishing and promoting the book). In this system, although the author did not pay for the book costs up front, they still eventually paid back the publisher as the books sold.
Unfortunately, under this system, many new authors have sold hundreds of thousands of books, only to receive meager royalty checks after publisher expenses were deducted. Even the legendary “book advances” the public hears about are normally paid back to the publisher if the book fails to sell in the marketplace.

Where Angels Tread
This book is a fiction account of God’s destiny for a young orphan’s life. I acknowledge that some of the accounts in this book involving angels are based from true life experiences. My grandmother was saved in a miraculous way when she was very young. Accounts from my family, other Christians, and appearances in the Bible involving angels are also used as inspiration for this story. I know from personal experience that angels are real and that the spititual world exists and is ever present all around us.
Not all children are blessed with good parents or parents who love the Lord. But, if children are faithful where they are, God will show them the destiny that is their very own, the true purpose for their lives.

Rev. Edwards
“The greatest love that you can receive this side of heaven is a father’s love, and most of us have never received it,” says Dr. Edwards. The revelation of this book was birthed out of the personal, seemingly negative and tragic experiences of his own life. However, his mess was processed into a message to the Body of Christ.
The role of the father is almost non-existent in many of our communities, especially in the black community where fathers are missing in action in 70% of the families, and up to 80% in large urban areas. This absence of fathers is a condition that many of our women have learned to live with and accept as the way things are. What has been lost is a vision of how God intends it to be, and His desire to bring a restoration of fathers to their God-given roles, fathers who will ultimately reflect the fatherhood of God to a new generation.
Reverend Dr. Jefferson Edwards is Founder and Senior Pastor of the Freedom Christian Center Church in Kansas City, Missouri, and the President of Jeff Edwards Ministries International. He has traveled extensively as an itinerant minister for over 30 years to most of the United States and to over 15 nations.
He has had the privilege of addressing many Prime Ministers and Representatives of Government within many of these locations. He is the celebrated author of the best selling book, “Chosen Not Cursed,” and has also authored “Liberated-No Longer Bound,” “The Call of God,” “Gifted-Discovering Your Hidden Greatness,” and “Purging Racism from Christianity.”
Dr. Edwards has a special commission and mandate from God to bring down the barriers that divide races and denominations and to address the present day crisis concerning the family with a special emphasis to black men, and the black family.
He received both his Bachelors and Masters degrees in Biblical Theology, and he is finishing the last stages of his earned Ph.D. in Biblical and Ethnical Studies, having developed curriculum for this major, and completed his dissertation on the subject of Biblical Black History. He has also received an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree.
Well spoken of as a gifted and anointed preacher, teacher and prophet to churches in the United States, Jefferson Edwards is also recognized as an Apostle to the Nations and the Body of Christ.

Bishop Densmore
Where Are the Sons & Daughters of Ministry? is a provoking challenging book speaking to leaders who flow in the five-fold ministry, challenging them to submit to the spiritual authority in the Body of Christ to equip them for the next dimension. The Lord has given us apostolic fathers, but because many leaders have been hurt by leadership, they have difficulty submitting to authority. So, our apostolic fathers are asking: “Where Are The Sons and Daughters of Ministry?” Hopefully, this book will enable hurt leaders to heal and experience all the Lord has for their lives and ministries.

It is the tendency of humans to ask questions that are rhetorical in nature. In fact, the very first question asked by an infant is usually why. It is the question of why that permeates our thinking and processing incessantly. God has no boundaries or limits, He is arbitrarily large and infinite therefore you and I cannot fathom His power and might. We really cannot expect to understand God’s ways or His mind. God is eternal, majestic, self-existent, self-conscious, infinite and transcendent. Yahweh’s great power and wisdom in creation in His ability to bring about ex nihilo (‘out of nothing’) are enough to expose mankind’s lack of understanding of Him.
We are thoroughly aware of this, yet to satisfy, justify, or to get some kind of concept or mere understanding of our present situation we ask, why? No question has been more widely or poignantly asked as, “Why does God allow?” The world is in chaos and finds it’s self in a paradox. For Christians, theodicy, God’s sovereignty, is a great dilemma.
My prayer is that as you read will be encouraged despite your circumstances and that somehow through the pages you may find some words or simple answer to your ‘whys’ that will enable you to grow deeper in your faith and walk with Christ. I pray also that in addition to finding help and hope most importantly someone will find Christ.

Lori Miller...Fantastic miracles
Next came the words I will never forget..."You have cancer." The words echoed off the walls of the doctor's office like the sound of the metal ball in a pinball machine spinning out of control. My world began to spin just as wildly. I know the doctor kept talking. "Stage 2 ovarian cancer...we're lucky to have caught it in this early...We recommend six months of chemotherapy..."
"The beautiful thing about Lori's story is that while it is certainly an extraordinary story of and extraordinary woman, it is also universal. Anyone who has battled cancer or has a loved one battling cancer will want to weep with Lori at her diagnosis, will be able to feel the agony of her treatment, and will understand the new perspective that only cancer can bring. For those of us who are fortunate enough not to have fought that battle, Lori's story reminds us all of just how precious life is and what really matters." --Jessica King, Nutritionist, Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA)
