Are you an aspiring Christian author?
If yes then this post is definitely for you.
Every author should aim to bring out a message in their book. In this post, we’ll look at five reasons why you need to be clear on your GOD- given message.
Let’s begin by looking at what a message is.
A message is essentially something that God has laid on your heart that when shared will impact lives either through inspiration, motivation or empowerment. Having a clear message is necessary regardless of the type of book you are writing so let’s look at five reasons you need to be clear on your message.
-
Your book must be clear and understandable.
When you know the message and you are clear about it, it will help to bring direction as you write. Sometimes because we are so full of ideas we can get carried away and try to pack everything into one book…which can cause it to be confusing but knowing the specific message God has laid on your heart it will help to guide what you share.
-
Your book must add value to people’s life.
You shouldn’t have an issue explaining the message of the book. When your book has a message, it has a purpose and it is then able to impact the reader hence add value to that reader’s life. When the book is able to do this it gives it relevance.
-
The book must flow.
Having a clear message helps you to have a grasp of what needs to be in the book and the overall organization of the book. Your book is a journey and you carry readers on a journey and at the end of the journey, there must be something that impacted them hence a clear message is necessary for the book to flow.
-
It will help with your outline.
The message helps to shape the outline of the book. Which helps to inform your writing and reinforces what needs to be in the book.
-
Your book is going to require a marketing strategy.
When you have to share the book with the world having a message helps to direct how this is done. Your message makes it easier to encourage your intended audience to read the book.
