Tired of the Hypocrites: Join the discussion!

Accountable to God:The Book,  discussions have begun inside our new Facebook group page!  Many people have received their books and are sharing their thoughts on accountability, God, and our most recent post, Hypocrites in the church.  

Tired of the Hypocrites is the first chapter in my new book, Accountable to God.   Hypocrisy is nothing new, and most people at some point in their lives have been exposed or damaged by it.

  Make no mistake about it, God has much to say about hypocrites in the church. In my book I share more in-depth,  God's heart concerning this and what our response should be. 

If you are interested in learning more about God, faith, prayers, and your purpose in His plan please join us!    If you haven't purchased a copy of Accountable to God you can purchase  your copy  here on this blog,  and I will personally send you an autographed copy!  Then,  come on over to Facebook I can be found @Authorchandra and in our group AccountabletoGod: The Book. 

Hope to see you in there!

Disappointed in The Church

 I hear a knock at my hotel room door, and it is a woman with a distinct accent announcing that she is with housekeeping.  I am usually gone when they make their rounds.  I didn't want to miss her services so I opened the door!  

As she walks in with continued greetings she says,  "I've noticed that you are an Author?"  hum, She sounds Dutch, I love that accent!   She is very sweet, extremely friendly, and always smiling.  I've noticed her before. I didn't have any of my books currently lying around so she says,  "I've noticed your books before" and I say, "Yes I am an Author, it is my first book!"  

The lady congratulated me and said,  I noticed it is about God.  "Your book will do well here.  I see that in the United States many people believe in God,  not so in Europe."  I could not intelligently respond to that as I have never spent time in Europe.  All I could say is, "surely there are a lot of godly people in Europe,  perhaps they are more silent?"     

She says; "No, they aren't silent, they are disappointed.  Disappointed in the Religion. Not God."

WOW! I did not feel more resolute, in God's reasoning for calling me to write "Accountable to God",  than I felt in that moment.   

I looked at her, and she had a look of disappointment stuck on her face. I said to her, "Do you know that this is what my book is about?"  She began to beam, while saying.."It is?"   

We continued to talk about God.  Who God really is, and what He really wants, and how people definitely have a way of convoluting His message.  She seemed to be encouraged, and actually left with a copy of the book!  I signed it with a message of hope, and asked her to please share it with her family in Europe. 

Why do you think people are disappointed in Church, thus causing them to be disappointed in God?




Accountable to God
-Chan H.

We have books people, Let's Grow!

I am “Officially” a published Author!  And it’s time to “Go get it!”  When this box arrived I thought, “This just got real!” And I don't say that? 

I had to really have a  talk with myself, because I could feel fear trying to creep in!  I thought, "Chan, you have a  big box of books here, and it's on you to sell all of them."  

God spoke this book into my spirit, and He would not let it leave.  In the past, I had a  bad habit of starting and stopping things, but God said not on this one you're not!  The Word of God says in Eccl. 7:8, "It's not the beginning of a thing but it's end."  

What has God trusted you with? What will you be held accountable for? 

We all have God assignments that were written, signed, and addressed with our name on it, but we 
don't have to be afraid of what God has for us. God has already paved the way, and He's waiting on us to take off walking!  

The circumstances around you don't have to be perfect.  If God is in it He will  open the doors and anoint  you to  walk through all of them!   God will complete what He has started in you, Phil 1:6.   He will reveal His glory in your life!   Do you know who you are? Better yet do you know who your God is? 

My name is Chan, and I am Accountable to God!

My Books are on the way!

My books are coming!

YAAAAAY! I received an email that my first bulk order of books "Accountable to God" have been shipped!  They should be here any day, and I can't wait to share them with you!  

I am so excited to have this assignment out. When I first began writing this book I never thought about writing it to sell and make a ton of money.  This book was birthed out of a burden that God placed on my heart for His people.   There is a huge misunderstanding about God, what He wants, and  the people who represent Him.  

 Accountable to God will bring so much light into your life.  This book during the edits continued to minister and encourage  me again and again!  It will give you and those you love the faith and hope they need to power forward in life. 

You can get your copy via Amazon or you can order through this blog!  As a matter a fact this book should be shared, so go ahead gift one to a friend! (When ordering through this blog I will sign your copy, and add a personal message!)  

Stay tuned for some interactive post as we go through each Chapter together!  (I will post more about that soon.)     

My Proof Copy, and the Journey!

I am one step closer to having my book available to the masses.  Once this proof is approved my book will be officially launched!   Accountable to God will be available  to purchase on Amazon, Kindle, and of course through this blog.

Completing this assignment was a commission from God.  It blessed me so much while I was writing it because everything was bubbling up from the Holy Spirit, and I was truly enlightened.  I found myself praising, repenting, crying, worshiping, and dancing   in light of what God was sharing with me for His people. 

 When God first gave me this assignment I prayed about what should be on every page and every chapter. I would pray until I pushed through before writing sessions to ensure that what I said was fueled by the Holy Spirit.  It was not easy to write this book.  I had to address some tough issues that were strong holds against faith in God,  and His church.  I poured through my Bible diligently to make sure I paired every revelation, standard, and principle with God's Word. 

 The Lord gave me all of the chapters before I started writing the book.  Some chapters I could fly through, and some I would often think, "I'm not qualified to write about this, I've got nothing!? It wouldn't take long before a series of very tough trials would manifest in my life.  God brought me through them, I was able to look back and see God's hand, and so I continued to write. 

So many pauses. I would be chugging along good, and then bam  deadlocked! I had many moments where I had no clue when I would finish because of the amount of research and spiritual maturity it took for me. I am embarrassed to tell you when I actually started writing this book!  Lets just say I once was  young, and now I am years older.  It's not that the book is super deep,  it's not? It is written in a way that even a child could understand it, but when you make your way through it you will see what I mean.  I also hit a lot of brick walls with traditional publishing submissions, independent firm submissions, and self publishing attempts.  First time publishing "done right" is not easy when you don't have great  resources. This book is a mandate from God on my life and  I know He wants the world to know this.  I had to finish it. 

(And if you know me, you know I don't walking around saying God told me to  say this or that.. I just don't do it.)   The very title alone was enough to convict me.  I knew no matter what I would be held Accountable to God on judgment day if I didn't get it out, so here you go! 

I will post on the launch date soon!  Please help me get this assignment from God moving. You can pre-order your copy today, and one for a friend!  I am thanking and blessing you in advance for your generosity, and support!   

Well, Until next time!  May you have 
Abundant Blessings In Him, 

Chan 

Book Launch Coming Soon..Pre-orders are open!

We are one step closer! I have been working diligently to make this long awaited release a reality!  We are ramping up for marketing, and  I am patiently awaiting my first proof copy of Accountable to God.  Wow God, thank you! This book is so special to me, because I can remember the moment God carved the contents of it into my heart.. many years ago!  The Lord's mission concerning Accountable to God would not leave my spirit and it stayed very heavy on my heart.

God wants you to know who He truly is, and how He operates for you and through you.  He wants you to know who you are in Him, and why He has placed so much stock in you!   "Dear Lord, I thank you for not giving up on me and continuing to fuel me with the words that fill each and every page of this book".

 God never stopped speaking to me concerning this book no matter how long it took me to finish it.    God's spirit dealt with me year after year after year, and would not let me give up on HIS book.  When I say this is God's book, it is His book! (You will understand why when you pick it up and read through it)  

The Lord has given me such a burden for this truth.  As you experience Accountable to God,  I know you will be excited, relieved, enlightened, and empowered in the faith like you never have before.

Please don't miss what God has revealed concerning YOU in this book.  

We are now accepting Pre-orders for Accountable to God. Please follow and subscribe to this blog as I plan to be very active here as we draw closer to Christ Jesus and excel in spiritual maturity.

I'm telling you, when we get this stuff, we will be unbreakable! 

Welcome to Accountable to God: The Book!

Have you ever wanted  answers  or peace regarding your spiritual questions?  Do you have prayers that God does not seem interested in answering?  Are you  disappointed  in spiritual leaders and laity due to  the hypocrisy they've displayed?   Ever wonder why you still attend church, pray, or trust God when nothing seems to go your way despite these efforts?  Maybe you've just thrown in the towel and walked away from church, your christian family,friends, and even God because you feel you have every right to.  Perhaps you're  confused about how faith works,  and if God is pleased with you at all?  Do you just want to know what tomorrow and the day after that will hold for you?  Whether you are a Christian, anti-Christian, lukewarm believer, or on fire for Christ this book is sure to challenge the way you think about the church, pastors,  God and yourself!   Do you really know who God is, and what He really wants from you?   Well if you don't,it's time to find out because He is holding you accountable for it!

Christianity has been around for over 2000 years, and those who represent Jesus Christ come from all over the world! Many know of The Holy Bible.   It's principles, laws, and statues that are contained within the Old and New Testament books.   But  because of several mis-representations many feel The Holy Bible, has no real power.   To them,  it is  simply a book full of do's, don'ts , and stories, they can use to their advantage when needed.  "can anyone really live up to God's expectation?", they say. "Or do we  even have to?"    Accountable to God was written to uncover, reveal, and support biblical truths about God's plan for your life.   God wants you to know who He is for yourself. God wants you to know that despite everything you see around you, that you can stand strong and present yourself wholly, and acceptable to Him.   The life of a Christian is a journey that begins and ends with two individuals.  You, and God. Start today, and build your own "secure" relationship with Him.   

 Thank you for taking the time to visit this site. It is my greatest hope that  you will purchase  this book, Accountable to God.  Within its pages is the hand of God, the voice, of God, the eyes of God, and most importantly the love of God.   He has given you every resource and gift to make it.  Run with patience this race that was given. Jesus Christ,  your Savior, is waiting at the finish line to receive you with Joy!
