That NEVER happened to me, HOWEVER I just published my 10th book, called The Appalachian Trail. All my books up until now have been bought by or given away to church folk I knew or family and friends. What book reviews I received were ‘complimentary’, glowing. None of my books are big sellers. 525 is the tops. But I was happy.This last book has interest outside my sphere of influence. Many folk research and read about the AT, I did. But oh, I was thrilled, Amazon recommended my book, WOW!
I don’t remember any< well As I was typing I did remember one . it was at a New Years Eve service and I totally agreed with the Lady .But I have told Gloria many times That I just did not have IT today ,
Well, you’ve hit the big time when you get complete strangers to review your book.
One preacher said he believed in dreams and visions, but felt a bit insulted when someone told him, During your sermon, the Lord gave me a dream.________________
Its a lot like politics Cojak , If you dont support trump people hate you. If you dont support Hillary people hate you.

A friend, Joe Lawing, pastors Unity Baptist in Belmont. He told me once after a Sunday morning service he was feeling good and were out for dinner when a stranger approached and said, I was visiting Unity this morning, you just didn’t have it today, did you?We got a good laugh, but he said at time it really hurt! ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

I was preaching a revival at an AG church in the town I now live in. Older gentleman invited us to his house for lunch.While eating lunch he said. You are an amazing preacher. You are the only one I have ever heard preach a three minute sermon in thirty minutes. He said it in a way to this day I do not know if he was serious or joking________________Recorded Sermons @ http://www.pastorwiley.com

If you’ve never been criticized, you’ve likely never accomplished (or set out to accomplish) anything. I’ve had sermons criticized (some of them rightly so ), published articles criticized, and many leadership decisions second-guessed or criticized over the years. I don’t know why we have this tendency, but if there’s a sample of 100 people- and 99 of them give a positive review- and one person gives a negative…..we will focus on the one! And yes, I’m speaking from experience…in the words of the great Sy Sperling…I’m not just the president of the Hair Club for Men…
Thanks my friend, I like how you stated that! ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
