Hi Valued Author,

How are you doing this week? I always love hearing from you and catching up on your journey as a Christian author! 😊

Reflecting on my early days of publishing, I recall the challenge of securing reviews beyond my immediate circle. 

The thought of requesting feedback from strangers made me feel uncomfortable, as if I were overly promoting myself. Perhaps you've experienced similar hesitations?

But what if we reframed that? What if we looked at it differently?

What if we viewed seeking reviews not as self-promotion but as a way of faithful stewardship? Your book is a vessel for God's inspiration—pursuing reviews becomes a means to extend His message to a wider audience. It's not about boosting your ego but honoring the gift He's given you to share.

A Powerful Shift in Perspective

When I realized this, it changed everything for me. It alleviated the pressure and reminded me that ultimate glory belongs to Him. And guess what? The reviews started to come in—genuine, heartfelt reviews that were about more than just my book; they were about God's truth reaching people who needed it.

That’s why I wrote a recent blog to help you do the same! It’s called:

“10 Powerful Ways to Leverage Book Reviews for Christian Authors to Elevate Their Message.”

In this blog, I share practical, faith-driven strategies that can help you gather more book reviews—without feeling awkward or self-serving. Think of it as your roadmap to turning those hesitant asks into meaningful connections.

But before you dive in, I’d love to hear from you. What has been your biggest challenge when it comes to getting book reviews? 

I'm curious about your experiences. What has been your most significant hurdle in obtaining book reviews? Share your thoughts and hit reply—So I can help and pray alongside you!

Biblical Encouragement for Your Journey

Remember Colossians 3:23-24:

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."

When you focus on this, you realize that each review is more than just a number or a rating. It’s another way for your book to touch someone and glorify God.

May this message bring you encouragement. I'm looking forward to your thoughts on the blog post and to continuing our conversation.

Dedicated To Your Success,

Tam
