James Papandrea answered S. Daisy's question: I love to support and help authors of Christian books whenever I can. Are you looking for a reviewer or a (very affordable) comprehensive editor? I'd be glad to assist. Hi - thanks for the offer! The best thing you can do to help authors is recommend our books and help spread the word, especially on social media.

“To realize our potential, we have to be willing to change and grow. In order to do this, we have to recognize our unchangeable identity as children of God, made in the image of God, so that we will feel free to change some behaviors and mature in character without feeling like we have to become someone else. Then we can allow our relationship with God to help us mature into the likeness of Christ. So change is not loss; it’s gain.”
