As a first time author I was very uninformed and knew nothing of marketing--and not sure I wanted to. I wrote for my
Lord and out of obedience. After a first splash I didn't know what to do! Along comes Lorilyn Roberts and the John3:16 Marketing
Network! I am now busy about plugging the holes in my platform and building relationships with which to network! Thank you,
Lorilyn! Now I have a detailed guide and knowledgeable people to whom I can turn. God is faithful to provide the right people
in our path at the right time.

This book reads as though the author is writing a long, intimate letter. Filled with personal experience and generous
details, Ms. Roberts encourages authors who are ready to launch their e-books. After the good book is written and edited (by
20 others), it only takes faith, friends, and 40 hours to be successful. Then, to God be the glory. Very well done.

Invaluable! I have already learned from and have implemented suggestions from Ms. Robert's book, How to Launch a Christian
Best Seller Book. The information and advice given, if followed, will help a writer take their work to a new level in promotion
and in bringing awareness to their writngs. I highly recommend this book.

This book gives an amazing opportunity for Christian writers to help each other get their books out into the world.
The John 3:16 Marketing Network is a positive force to get God's message into the world.

In this easy to read and understand book, Lorilyn Roberts shows us her vision, hopes, and ideas for the John 3:16 Marketing
Network. A place where Christian authors help others launch their books and bring Christian books out into a world that needs
them.
It's about writers coming together to help each other. Ms. Roberts states:
"Games aren't
meant in large part to be solitary sports...to win, it takes cooperation, commitment, hard work..."
Dying
to self and learning it's not all about just one person are some of the important heart attitudes in this remarkable marketing
network. Where not only book launches are done, reviews are given and asked for, but prayer requests are frequently shared
and prayed for.
This isn't just a marketing book with great ideas to follow. This is about a group of people brought
together by one woman's tenacity ~ and vision to bring good books to a lost world.

This is an excellent book and I plan to put every bit of it into practice. Building a support team of partners is an
awesome strategy. The thought of fifty authors working together to push my book to the top of a genre or two is very exciting.
Thank you Lorilyn for your great approach.

What before seemed daunting and nearly impossible in marketing Christian books, is now manageable. Lorilyn Roberts
in How to Launch A Christian Best Seller BookReveals the path to launch a book and make the marketing journey doable, attractive
and refreshingly rewarding.The author and founder of this concept, through her own publishing and marketing journey, offers
an example of tenacity, perseverance, faith and commitment. Her success is enough to fuel passion in any author who’s
about to enter the marketing journey.Most marketing books reveal sound advice and strategies. But How to Launch A Christian
Best Seller Book explores in detail and illustrates the steps to follow. And most importantly, it points to John 3:16, the
first-of-kind networking marketing group available in Christian publishing.For Christian authors, the concept is revolutionary,
the method is team- building, and the result is God-honoring.--Janet Perez Eckles author of Simply Salsa: Dancing Without
Fear at God’s Fiesta, August, 2011www.janetperezeckles.com.

Review by: J. Steve Miller on July 22, 2011 :
I write and publish about book marketing, so I wanted to read this approach. Here's the thesis: Wouldn't it be great
if, after publishing your book, you had 150 or so people who, if they like it, would be willing to tell their networks and
potentially ignite the best of all publicity - word of mouth? Such is Lorilyn Robert's vision - authors committing themselves
to help fellow authors get the word out about their books.
We know that much of successful marketing involves
relationships. The challenge is how to make and leverage these relationships. I've heard some of these techniques talked about,
but reading this book helped me to put it all together. I'd advise writing down the essential steps as you read; I jotted
down 21 steps.
And don't think that it's just for launching a new book.
I plan to use this approach with
one of my books that has been out for years, since I think the technique just might be more effective once a book already
has achieved some great Amazon reviews.
Oh, and I should mention that she's not selling a program. If you join
the network, there are no fees for either joining or participating.
