New Bible Study Talk Show!

Hello friends!

The Holy Spirit has me busy at work on a new Internet talk show I'll host each week about Bible study resources at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/BibleStudyCafe

I hope you'll be able to tune into my live talk show online and even call-in to the show!

The free number to call-in is: (347) 945-7963

The show airs live on the following dates this month:

--Tuesday, April 8: 11:30AM (Eastern Time)
--Tuesday, April 15: 11:00AM (Eastern Time)
--Tuesday, April 22: 11:00AM (Eastern Time)

If you can't listen live, no problemo as the show will be recorded and be made available for listeners at any time.

Given that I'll be hosting the weekly BibleStudyCafe talk show, (which is basically an audio blog), this written blog will no longer be written daily.

Instead, this blog will provide info and resources in support of the weekly talk show.

I'm excited about this blessing, to be able to spread the Good News, to the uttermost parts of the earth, via the Internet.

I hope you'll listen!

Have a blessed day by telling someone about Jesus!


Your Brother in Christ,

Steven Kendall's New Talk Show

I haven't blogged in recent days as I've been busy preparing
an Internet talk show that I will host on BlogTalkRadio.com.

This is real short notice, but...
You are cordially invited to listen to my new Internet talk show,
called "Write On, Right On, Write On!" on
http//www.blogtalkradio.com/Write-On-Right-On

The program will be about writing and self-publishing tips.

This Saturday at 6pm ET, I will do a 15 min. practice run of my
show so that I can get a feel for the technology. I'm pretty tired
from composing, recording and uploading my theme music--wait
'til you hear it! A warning in advance...I will need piano lessons soon. : )

You can call-in during my show to speak to me live at:
(646) 200-3542.

Hope you can listen tonight!


If not, no problemo, the show will be recorded and
available online for free.


I hope to do a weekly
show soon, so you'll have an opportunity to hear
me run my mouth in the near future. : )

If you'd like to be a guest on a future show, please
contact me.

God bless,

Steve Kendall

Spreading the Gospel by Blogging

In Acts 1:8, Jesus told his disciples and us, that when we accept Him, the Holy Spirit will help us to witness to others: "... you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." The Internet makes it possible to witness for Christ to the uttermost parts of the earth.


I encourage Christians to use the Internet to spread the Gospel. Blogging, short for "Web log," is a great way to do this. Blogging basically involves writing short, diary-type entries on any topic, that one shares with the entire world. If you allow ads on your blog, you can earn money as well. Google has a great service that I use, called Blogger.com, which permits one to create a free blog and restrict ads to specific topics, such as Christianity.


Last year, the U.S. morning news program, Good Morning America, did a really good story on how one can use a blog to spread a message and earn money.


I currently have three blogs, the one you're currently reading, as well as a blog about the writing process and self-publishing tips, called Write On, Right On, Write On!, and BibleStudycafe.com, a blog where provide daily Bible study and Christian resources.


Have a blessed day, by spreading the Good News about Jesus!


Your Brother in Christ,

Resurrection Sunday, Not Easter

A few years ago, the pastor of my church, Dr. Lucius M. Dalton, Senior Pastor of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, began to stress the phrase Resurrection Sunday, instead Easter Sunday, which I agree is a good idea, given the pagan origins of Easter.

The Web site, AllAboutJesusChrist.org does a good job of discussing the resurrection of Christ.

There are a number of great online sermons about the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Here are several that I recommend (look for the week of March 17, 2008):

Enduring Truth with Pastor Paul Sheppard

In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley

Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram

Have a blessed weekend by learning more about Christ and His resurrection.

Your Brother in Christ,

Maundy Thursday (Maundy.com)/ Book: The Last Week


Hello everyone,

I thought I'd take the week off from blogging, but given that this is Holy Week-- as observed by Christians who observe the week leading up to the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ--I was compelled to use this week as a teachable moment and a witnessing opportunity. Churchyear.net has a nice breakdown of this week day by day.

I'm reading an interesting book called The Last Week: A Day-by-Day Account of Jesus's Final Week in Jerusalem by Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan.

Today, I want to discuss Maundy Thursday. Never heard of Maundy Thursday before, or don't quite remember what it is? Check out http://www.maundy.com as the site does a good job of providing both the definition and historical background of Maundy Thursday.

Be blessed by telling someone about Maundy Thursday!

Your Brother in Christ,

Steven Kendall

This Week’s Topic about Writing: Self-Publishing

Today, I'm scheduled to be one of the guests on Marsha Sumner's show, Crosstalk Urban Style on Heaven 1580 AM radio, Monday, March 3 at 11am Eastern Standard Time (EST). The topic will be "Self-Publishing."

If you live in the DC region, you can listen on the AM radio dial at 1580. If you live outside the DC area, or want to use the Internet, please go to www.Heaven1580AM.com. Please read my blog dated March 3, 2008 at http://biblestudycafedotcom.blogspot.com/ as I provide details about today’s interview.

Self-Publishing:
Given that I self-publish all of my books, I’m often asked about self-publishing by aspiring authors and authors who have used other means to publish their work.

Here are a few tips I have to offer on this subject (this is just my advice, and if you follow it, it is not guaranteed to work for you.)…

1. Pray: Pray before you venture into publishing your work. I also pray everyday before beginning a writing session.

2. Learn about various forms of Publishing: Become familiar with the various types of publishing, such as traditional, vanity, subsidy and self-publishing, and decide what’s best for you.

A resource I used to learn the definitions of different types of publishing is located on the Web site of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America: http://www.sfwa.org/beware/vanitypublishers.html

Their site does a good job of defining self-publishing and other forms of publishing, along with the pros and cons of each.

I will discuss these definitions and a whole lot more about self-publishing, but you’ll have to listen to Marsha Sumner's show, Crosstalk Urban Style on Heaven 1580 AM radio, today, March 3 at 11am Eastern Standard Time (EST). You can listen online at www.Heaven1580am.com.

For those of you who cannot listen to the show, don’t worry, I’ll post more info about the subject in the days ahead.

Hope you can tune in today!

Your Brother in Christ,

Steven Kendall
