My book “Drawing a Line in the Sand” was written for such a time as this lifting up the name of Jesus and committed to be a tool for the kingdom of God. The book answers and covers many questions people have about the word of God all under five major categories. The categories are: Salvation, the Holy Ghost, Water baptism, Divisions in the body of Christ and the End-time gatherings.

Each category has an abundance of scripture, discussion and answered questions relating to each topic. This book draws a line in the sand so to speak by also exposing the divisions in the body of Christ and speaking out against it. The book emphasizes the revelation that God created diversity not division. There are many interesting questions that the book answers through biblical scripture that people want to know. This book also contains some personal testimony, knowledge, wisdom and guidance in receiving a more abundant life in Christ.

The book was written to draw a line in the sand against Satan and all those who bring and try to keep division in the body of Christ. Too many churches and denominations slander each other, backbite and separate themselves from one another just because of their denominational name or customs, standards, traditions and their personal view and teachings. We are all one body in Jesus Christ and brothers and sisters in Christ no matter what denomination we attend as long as the GOSPEL OF CHRIST is being taught and preached. The gospel of Christ is the birth, life, teachings, crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We are to love, care for, lift up and encourage one another. To be a Christian means to walk and act Christ-like. This book is also full of more Holy Biblical scripture than most books and has a glossary that allows people to find scriptures on topics very quickly. Draw your line in the sand today and shout your battle-cry for you know not the day or the hour that the Lord will come..........For every day that passes we draw more near to HIS coming. Be watchful and be ready!!!

Setting

The setting of this book centers on the Holy Bible, Christianity, spirituality, gospel of Christ, the name of Jesus, love, divisions in the body of Christ and end-times.

Readers and target audience

This book will appeal to readers because spirituality, religion and the Holy Bible always has been a consistent center-point and mainstay in people’s lives. The after-life issue has always been one of the most talked about subjects in the world. People often wonder if there is truly a heaven or hell and which will be their destination. Many people all over the world do not know a lot about the Christian Holy Bible, scripture and their purpose or meaning in life. There are so many people and even Christians that need to read and study the Holy Bible for themselves asking God for wisdom and guidance.

My target audience can actually be all people who feel lost and are curious about Christianity, the Holy Bible, Heaven or Hell, Jesus Christ and their purpose on this planet. This book is for anyone, but specifically all people who claim themselves as Christians will truly identify with this book.

Author Bio

My name is Daniel Lee Staneart and I was born in March of 1974 in West Minister, CA. My family moved to Louisiana in 1978 and I've been living there ever since. I became a saved Christian in Jesus Christ at a very young age, but I began to mature, understand and seek after the Lord fervently in 1998 and I was baptized with fire in the Holy Ghost in 1999. I have had my share of loss, heartaches, sufferings, trials, wrong turns as well as temptations. I never stopped serving the Lord. I never gave up seeking after the Lord and his kingdom. I have spent some time serving the Lord in various denominations such as the Church of God, Baptist, Pentecostal, Apostolic Non-Denominational Churches and Assembly of God. All these denominations and churches offer something wonderful and different in the Lord for His kingdom and purpose. I and my family have been serving the Lord in the Church of God, Apostolic Non-Denominational and independent Assembly of God Churches since early 2007. We were guided to these churches by the Holy Spirit for our personal growth and service unto the Lord. I truly don’t claim myself by a denominational name or any affiliation, but I claim myself as an Apostolic Christian Warrior no matter where I go to church. The term Christian means to be “Christ-like.”

I’m just an average guy happily married with children, but I am a true Christian warrior and soldier in Christ. I’m a man with a heart of love, mind of inspiration and compassion for the broken. I've walked with the Lord Jesus since I was a little boy and came to him for every need. HE is the full and complete source and supply of all our needs. HE is truly a father to the fatherless. HE needed me to write a book and so it was written…....for such a time as this and to draw the line in the sand.

Important update concerning my book:

I called my publisher (AuthorHouse) to make my book temporarily unavailable in late December 2009.  The reason for this is that I was making revisions for my book and adding some new text and topics and removing some old.  In my heart, I was never quite satisfied with my book and how it was written.  I rushed it and some things weren't made quite clear enough. Some things were written in such a way that what I was trying to say and mean could be taken different and literal.  I didn't have the money at the time to have the book professionally edited either.  I simply rushed the publishing, print and release of it.  I never really told alot of people about my book.  I didn't run any ads in newspapers about it, not even in my own hometown.  I knew that the Holy Spirit was pressing on me to revise and finish it so my heart would be settled on the matter and God could use it as a tool for His kingdom as a woman of God a few years back prophesied to me that God would do.

I am almost through with the revisions.  I have made over 85 corrections in the book.  This includes adding new text and removing some text and making some grammatical corrections.  Only 22 first original publications are in circulation right now in the whole world, and so if you have one of the first rough copies then you have the starting foundation that was to be finished and revised.  

One more great reason that I am revising my book is that I never truly wrote with my very best potential. The new section I added is not only wrote to the very best of my talent, knowledge and potential, but is a very anointed and powerful writing on how to receive the blessings of God and engaging in spiritual warfare (which has been one of my strong points for 7 years now).  Living in Louisiana and what my family has been through over the years I had to learn how to truly war against the powers of hell. My book will also be marketed in a way that hasn't been done at all with it yet.  It will be media-marketed to over 2 million readers through my publisher.  Pray that God will continue to provide me the necessary provisions to make this happen.  

My anticipated Christian book just went "live" today on April 7, 2010 making it available through AuthorHouse for purchase in both hard or soft cover at (www.authorhouse.com). It may take up to 30 to 45 days for my new 2010 revised edition to become available through online retailers.

Drawing a Line in the Sand will be available once again through 100’s of online retailers including Books-a-million, Borders, Barnes & Nobles and Amazon. When ordering the book online through any retailer you will need to make sure to order the revised edition by sorting for publication date, especially for Amazon and Barnes & Nobles. The new copyright and publication date was changed to 2010, so make sure you get the new edition. There may be still some old 2009 editions floating around. Once again, the book can be purchased online through my publisher AuthorHouse (www.authorhouse.com) at a fair price. If you don’t have internet access the book can also be purchased from my publisher by calling their toll free number at 1-888-519-5121.
