Amazon Launch of The Christian Olympics by S.E. Gregg


Welcome to the official Amazon launch of  the Kindle version of:  The Christian Olympics - Going for the Gold Crowns  by  author S.E. Gregg.

About the book:
 
The Christian Olympics: Going for the Gold Crowns is the unveiling of the Bible's comparison of the Christian race to the Olympic Games. It is the spin-off from the newspaper article titled "The Christian Olympics are still going on!" written by the author .
Today more than ever Christians are discouraged in their walk with God because of the multitudes of personal problems, suffering, and worldly events that have occurred. Some have given up, lost hope in their faith, and/or don't feel that living holy lives matters anymore. 

The Christian Olympics will stir up Christians, igniting their spiritual fires to look forward to what is ahead. When Christians see themselves as players in an Olympic game, it gives them a new understanding and exhilaration for the Christian life, as spiritual athletes. Readers will actually visualize themselves in a spiritual athletic competition which has never been done before in a Christian book.

Kindle e-book,

An Interview with SE Gregg:

Please tell us a little background about yourself and how you became a writer.
 
I have been a Christian and a follower of Christ for several decades. God has been very gracious to me and has given me the spiritual gifts of teaching, preaching, evangelism, exhortation, and administration .I have discovered that I can use all five when I write. I started writing when I was in college and my English professor wanted us to keep a journal of our daily thoughts. And also through my speech classes. I had to write my speeches before delivering them to the class.  

Can you give us some background on this book and what led you to write it?

My first book was Evangelism Counseling-How to Counsel People About Salvation, an evangelism book. After people read it they would asked me if I had a book on Christian living or discipleship. So I felt that God wanted me to write one. 

What authors inspire you most?

Authors  that are sincere about the Bible and allow God to use them and let Him inspire them.

What has been the most challenging thing you’ve encountered while writing this book?

The most challenging thing was to make sure that everything that I say in the book  was in line with what  the Bible teaches. And of course the most difficult is the marketing aspect after you write the book.

When you write, what do you do to motivate yourself, and do you prefer quiet solitude or background noise when you put pen to paper?

Most of the time I am motivated by a song, hymn, or a Bible verse.  I need quiet solitude so that I can hear my thoughts and hear what God wants me to write.

Now that you have a book in print, have you elected to put it into an e-book format for the variety of e-readers in the marketplace?

Yes, my new Kindle edition will be launched Tuesday, June 12, 2012

How have you used this book as a ministry tool to further the Kingdom of God?

Yes, I use this book when I am counseling someone about how to grow spiritually, what suffering means, and  about our rewards for faithful service to God. 



A Sample  -  Chapter One: The Opening Ceremony    
 
Just as the flames were lit during the Opening Ceremony in the Modern Olympic Games, the “divine” Opening Ceremony in the Christian Olympics also began with the lighting of flames of fire, which symbolized the Holy Spirit. Chapter One reveals where, when, and how the Christian Olympics began, tracing its origins around the time of the Ancient Games in Greece, that began about a thousand years after the inception of the Ancient Games. 

What Others are Saying: 

As imaginative and engaging as it is thoughtful and thought-provoking, "The Christian Olympics" is enthusiastically recommended as inspirational reading for all practicing Christians regardless of their denominational affiliation.  Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)


Gregg's writing is entertaining, inspirational, and motivating. "The Christian Olympics" is expressive, Biblically sound, and challenging. Let the Games Begin!
