What does it take to become a great Christian author who impacts lives and leaves a legacy in print?
To produce a great Christian book one must first live it, and then one must write it. To create a true page-turner, the author must write a book that meets a need, heals a hurt or answers a question. No one is more qualified to write a book like that than those who serve others in ministry. They possess not only the knowledge of God’s Word and vital insight into His message to the Church, they’re also deeply familiar with the very people who are seeking those answers. While they are the most qualified, many ministry leaders fail to truly grasp why they should write a book, and how that book could impact the world for generations to come.
Don Newman has helped hundreds of pastors find the book hidden within, and through his coaching countless ministry leaders have become published authors. A pastor himself for over 20 years, Don recognizes that if we want to continue to expand the Kingdom of God, we need not only the power of God through His Holy Spirit, we also need men and women who will write what God has shown them so a legacy in print can influence many beyond their own circles. Don’t Just Speak It, Write It: How Every Pastor Can Become A Published Author is a compilation taken from hours of coaching pastors on how to find the book hidden within.
Don Newman has over 20 years experience in ministry and building leaders. A born storyteller, he infuses his insight on life and leadership into his writing and his speaking appearances as a pastor, conference speaker, and legacy coach.
Don’s passion is teaching others to build their own legacy: to pass on to future generations the love, stories and wisdom we collect over a lifetime.
His first book, "Respond Up", is a highly anticipated collection of true stories and biblical wisdom designed to help readers work their way up in life by responding correctly to tests and obstacles. His second book, "Don't Just Speak It, Write It", is published now!
Don and his wife Tracee live in Central Florida, and are proud to include three grown children and four granddaughters in their legacy. His is the Director of Acquisitions for Salem Author Services, where he has helped thousands of writers accomplish their dream of publishing books.
