How are you doing? I just wanted to send a humble reminder that the national bestselling Christian book, Carnal Striving Spiritual, is available for secure purchase from my Myspace page, which has links to Amazon, Barnes & Noble and my official website.
The already acclaimed book has been critically reviewed as one of the best Christian books of 2009. Dr. Cornel West, America's most prestigious scholar, calls the book "brilliant and with a bold message." Bishop Hilliard, one of the nation's most prominent pastors, says that the book begs the attention of the reader.
Your support is not about me, it's about you and supporting the Kingdom. Thanks.

Stop fighting against what you have to do. Turn it into what you want to do.
For any given task, you can be miserable and plodding or you can be enthusiastic and highly effective. It all depends on your attitude.
Instead of dreading and avoiding something that you must get done, choose to look forward to it. Then jump in, make it happen, and get it finished once and for all.
It's really very easy to make a change in your attitude. You can do it without lifting a finger.
With a positive, enthusiastic attitude toward whatever task you must complete, the work will go more quickly and smoothly. And, you'll feel a whole lot better while doing it.
Decide that you truly want to get it done. And soon you'll be reaping the rewards of your effective effort.
