I’ve said it before and I’ll repeat it now: Many authors underprice their books. A few overprice their books to the extreme, but I find it’s the former I encounter the most. But it’s not just authors. Freelancers and service providers are similarly tempted to offer their hard - [Authority, Accountability and the Apostolic Movement](https://stevebremner.com/2009/01/authority-accountability-and-the-apostolic-movement/) - Few books have come into my hands in the last few years that have made me want to get other people to read it. When I read a few reviews online about this book by Dr. Stephen Crosby stating it would cause 'uproar' and 'explosion' in the modern charismatic and apostolic movements, I thought it - [Does the Bible Teach Being Accountable to a "Spiritual Covering?"](https://stevebremner.com/accountability-and-spiritual-covering) - This podcast with Dr. Stephen R.

I realize the topic of women - [Why YOU Need to Write That Book](https://stevebremner.com/2025/11/write-your-book-the-kingdom-driven-path-to-impact/) - And Why It Changes More Than You Think We live in a world that constantly pushes us to consume — scroll a little more, buy a little more, absorb endlessly.

Stop Using Social Media Like One](https://stevebremner.com/2026/06/your-book-isnt-a-megaphone-stop-using-social-media-like-one/) - There’s a pattern I see constantly among authors — Christian authors especially, but honestly this applies across the board. They publish a book (or they’re about to), and they treat their social media accounts like a PA system. Quote from the book. Bible verse. Facebook Live announcing the release date. “Available now on Amazon.” Repeat - [Your Sin Will Always Find You Out (This is Nothing New)](https://stevebremner.com/2015/08/your-sin-will-always-find-you-out-this-is-nothing-new/) - There’s been a lot of uncovering going on. No, not that kind. Many things that were once hidden in darkness are being brought to the light.

Russell: A Review](https://stevebremner.com/2017/08/the-missional-entrepreneur-by-mark-l-russell-a-review/) - I have to admit I’m a little late at putting this review on to my blog by like 5 years, but I felt it was important since it provides balance to another book I once wrote a review for on my site, called The God Ask by Steve Shadrach.

It was a - [Christian, Stop Being So Afraid Of Marketing Your Books!](https://stevebremner.com/why-are-so-many-christian-authors-afraid-of-marketing/) - We finally have a new interview on the podcast, and it's with someone I would have had on the show earlier had I actually been podcasting in the last three years.
