Here are a few excepts of it's many Five-Star reviews:

"There are how-to books and how-to books . . . some are so filled with philosophy and attitude that the fledgling writer can't find one solid answer to his question. Ron Benrey has written an intelligent, practical book that will answer most, if not all, questions that a beginning writer might ask. Best of all, the book is well-organized and Ron's wry sense of humor carries us through from the first page to the last. A true seminar-in-a-volume, this book is on my "highly recommended" list! " Angela E. Hunt

"Not only is this book an excellent resource for anyone who wants to write Christian fiction, it is also a great read . . . more like reading a novel than reading a how-to book. Very complete information, especially on the workings of the industry and the journey to publication. Written with authority, yet infused with humor. Highly recommended." Deborah Raney

"Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting started in the business of writing for the Christian market, you'll find this an excellent guide to the sometimes confusing path to publication. It's easy to read, concise and full of real-world examples from published Christian novelists." DeAnna Dodson
