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.
Best selling and award winning author S.E. Gregg has been joined by a host of Authors, Experts, Entrepreneurs, and Volunteers to offer you prizes and Free gifts to celebrate the launch of her new
Kindle e-book, The Christian Olympics-Going for the Gold Crowns.

About the author:
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!
