Hey, Rap: My publishing company, Outskirts Press, will create a website for my book, and I can sell it from there. When the book is published, I'll post a thread about it with a serious warning:
"This book contains sincere expressions of faith." The book does include the lyrics for eleven gospel songs I've written, and countless gospel lyrics from other writers and the tradition. There's also a quote by Casey Stengel and lyrics to a Roger Miller song, so it's not frighteningly pious. I just wouldn't want anyone buying the book without realizing that the basic core of the book is in the title: The Gate of Beautiful: Stories, Songs, And Reflections on Christian Life. Some of the stories have been posted on Mudcat, minus the reflections, and there's even a chapter based on a letter I wrote to Art Thieme describing an amazing experience I had doing a concert at a coffee house.

When I post the announcement, I'll offer to e-mail a couple of chapters to people so that they can judge for themselves whether they'd like to read the book. I'm not a tub thumper, but I am very serious about my faith and I speak very openly about my beliefs.

Enough... I'm starting to write a treatise here.
