DOWNLOAD EBOOKBeing a Christian sales person is going to be tricky. That's what I thought as I entered my first professional sales position. In retrospect, my life as a Christian sales person was confusing, gut-wrenchingly difficult, frustrating, and wonderfully rewarding. I dealt with questions that you may also face: - How do I balance the need to get results with the Christian ethic of leaving the outcomes to Christ? - Where do I go for support and encouragement in a church where I'm seen as a second class citizen? - How and when do I voice my beliefs on the job, when my employer is not paying me to do that? - How do I maintain my perspective when some of the professional Christians around me are so much more manipulative and deceitful than any secular acquaintance? - How do I maintain my Christian ethics inside a company that supports just the opposite? - How do I grow a consulting practice with no resources and no network? Here's my story.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMost sales publications cover selling exclusively from the worlds point-of-view. They cover a topic or two that may peak the interest of the reader, but they leave out two elements that are critical to a Christian sales professionals success. What are those two essentials you need to know? They are: 1.) Where does God fit into your life as a salesperson, and 2.) What else do you need to know to be a long-term sales pro? You see, selling is more than one or two techniques that will manipulate your prospect into buying. Its more than a few closing techniques that will seal-the-deal. Sales is an ability you are given, by God, to help other people solve their problems. You are a problem solver, an advocate for your client. This book will help you become the best you can be, with prayer and Gods guidance.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“Hamer clearly knows the business of selling. Rich with Scripture verses and biblical principles, this is a book that believers who are in sales will study and refer to often.” Bruce K. Bell, Ph.D., Associate Dean of Liberty University’s College of General Studies and former Dean of the School of Business “This is a must-read book for anyone who needs to improve their lot in life... because the greatest teachers sell education, the greatest preachers sell faith and the greatest parents sell their values on their children. Learn to sell from a master teacher who teaches the principles of the real Master Teacher!” Willie Jolley, Best Selling Author of A Setback Is A Setup For A Comeback and An Attitude of Excellence! “Selling requires a solid foundation of wisdom and knowledge. Author Michael P. Hamer taps into the world’s best source for sound information, the Bible, and connects us with that resource in a fresh way.” Jeff Arnette, Executive Producer & Host of The Arnette Report Selling Righteously is the first book that explains how to apply biblical wisdom to all aspects of selling: prospecting, questioning, presenting, closing, servicing, and handling objections. Anyone using this book to increase their income and improve their business relationships should be extremely satisfied. However, the primary reasons for Selling righteously revolve around accountability. Each of us must appear before the judgment seat of Christ to account for everything done. Everyone needs their accountability appearance to reap heavenly rewards. It makes the reasons for Selling Righteously heavenly. (2Corinthians 5:10) For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The late, beloved Rachel Held Evans answers many children's first question about God in this gorgeous picture book, fully realized by her friend Matthew Paul Turner, the bestselling author of When God Made You. Children who are introduced to God, through attending church or having loved ones who speak about God, often have a lot of questions, including this ever-popular one: What is God like? The late Rachel Held Evans loved the Bible and loved showing God’s love through the words and pictures found in that ancient text. Through these pictures from the Bible, children see that God is like a shepherd, God is like a star, God is like a gardener, God is like the wind, and more. God is a comforter and support. And whenever a child is unsure, What Is God Like? encourages young hearts to “think about what makes you feel safe, what makes you feel loved, and what makes you feel brave. That's what God is like.”

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe relationship between Protestant fundamentalists and mass culture is often considered complex and ambiguous. Selling the Old-Time Religion examines this relationship and shows how the first generation of fundamentalists embraced the modern business and entertainment techniques of marketing, advertising, drama, film, radio, and publishing to spread the gospel. Selectively, and with more sophistication than has been accorded to them, fundamentalists adapted to the consumer society and popular culture with the accompanying values of materialism and immediate gratification, despite the seeming conflict between these values and certain tenets of their religious beliefs. Selling the Old-Time Religion is written by a fundamentalist who is based at the country's foremost fundamentalist institute of higher education. It is a candid and remarkable piece of scholarship that reveals from the inside the movement's first encounters with some of the media methods it now wields with well-documented virtuosity. Carl Abrams draws extensively on sermons, popular journals, and educational archives to reveal the attitudes and actions of the fundamental leadership and the laity. Abrams discusses how fundamentalists' outlook toward contemporary trends and events shifted from aloofness to engagement as they moved inward from the margins of American culture and began to weigh in on the day's issues--from jazz to "flappers"--in large numbers. Fundamentalists in the 1920s and 1930s "were willing to compromise certain traditions that defined the movement, such as premillennialism, holiness, and defense of the faith," Abrams concludes, "but their flexibility with forms of consumption and pleasure strengthened their evangelistic emphasis, perhaps the movement's core." Contrary to the myth of fundamentalism's demise after the Scopes Trial, the movement's uses of mass culture help explain their success in the decades following it. In the end fundamentalists imitated mass culture not to be like the world but to evangelize it.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKChristopher Hitchens, described in the London Observer as “one of the most prolific, as well as brilliant, journalists of our time” takes on his biggest subject yet–the increasingly dangerous role of religion in the world. In the tradition of Bertrand Russell’s Why I Am Not a Christian and Sam Harris’s recent bestseller, The End Of Faith, Christopher Hitchens makes the ultimate case against religion. With a close and erudite reading of the major religious texts, he documents the ways in which religion is a man-made wish, a cause of dangerous sexual repression, and a distortion of our origins in the cosmos. With eloquent clarity, Hitchens frames the argument for a more secular life based on science and reason, in which hell is replaced by the Hubble Telescope’s awesome view of the universe, and Moses and the burning bush give way to the beauty and symmetry of the double helix.
