Real Author Review of Christian Faith Publishing
God-Jesus-Wild Horses details the incredible abuse I was forced to endure at the hands of my father from age 2 through age 18, when I left home to join the military. It's not your normal autobiography, but rather a series of notes detailing memories I brought to the attention of the mental health professionals on my Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Treatment Team. Publication of this book was made possible by Christian Faith Publishers and I am extremely grateful to everyone at CFP that assisted in getting this book to market, especially to Sarena Gray, my Publication Specialist who has the patience of an angel. From the time Steve Kay, Literary Agent called to indicate my book had been accepted for publication, until Tara Alvaraz, Operations/Finance sent an e-mail outlining the details of my radio interview, it has been an honor to work with the CFP staff. Everyone at CFP has done anything and everything humanely possible to ensure I was provided with the very best customer service possible. All the staff at CFP is very kind, caring and will go out of their way to aid new authors, from the Author Support Department, to the book mailing department, to Joseph J. Hengle, Vice President of Operations. Each member of the CFP staff I dealt with is committed to providing as much help to the new author as he/she requires. As a new author I had no idea what qualifications to look for in a publishing company. I liked what I saw on the CFP website and due to the fact, I live on a fixed income, I especially appreciated the fact payments could be spread out over an extended period. How does someone gauge the favorite part of a process when it comes to publication of your first book? Is it when you’re notified the book has been accepted for publication? Yes! Is it when the editing process is finally completed? Absolutely! Is it when you first look at the incredible cover design prepared by the staff at CFP? Without a doubt! Is it when you receive the book in the mail for your approval and you open the package, see the name of your book, with your name as author with the beautiful cover? You had better believe it! Or, is it when you see the book trailer, when you hear your very first radio interview, or when you open the box of promotional material? It’s not possible for a new author to name a favorite part of the publishing process because all the events are exciting and have the potential to take your breath away. When everything is said and done there is one person that you will work with at CFP on a regular basis and that’s your Publication Specialist. As I already mentioned, my Publication Specialist, Sarena Gray, was as good as they get. No matter how uninformed my questions were, Sarena went out of her way to answer the questions as expeditiously and professionally as possible. In the unlikely event she was unable to answer a question herself, she would immediately turn it over to the department or department head responsible, so they could respond. From the beginning to the end, Sarena was there for me and I don’t think it would be possible to find a more dedicated Publication Specialist. I’m not sure what sort of expectations other new authors have for their books, but mine are perhaps a bit different. I don’t particularly care if my book makes the New York Times best seller list, or if a movie is made based on the contents. I want my book to be on every individuals desk that deals with children, or adults, so they are totally and completely aware of the horrors that befall youngsters, especially in rural communities, and can aid both children and adults in need. I would recommend Christian Faith Publishing to other authors, so they can personally experience the thrill derived from seeing their book in print. I am extremely proud of God-Jesus-Wild Horses and it would not have been at all possible without the Grace of God and Christian Faith Publishers” MICHAEL LEE JOHNSON, AUTHOR, GOD-JESUS-WILD HORSES
