R.A.G.E. Media

Looking to make a little more money this season off your Catholic website or blog? The Digital Catholic Library, a collection of 35 classic Catholic texts with reprint rights, can now be sold by you on your site, and earn you 50% of the sale, or roughly $15.

The collection includes the entire Summa Theologica, 5 books by G.K. Chesterton, The Imitation of Christ, The Confessions of Augustine, Story of a Soul, and the Little Flowers of St. Francis - just to name a few. Full details, including the complete contents and a video, can be found at www.DigitalCatholicLibrary.com.

I’ve not yet come across an affiliate program for Catholics that pays out so much for such a great value. And in these times of economic hardship and uncertainty, we can all use something that helps us take care of our families while proclaiming the gospel!

More information on the affiliate program can be found on our affiliate page.

Thanks to Google Books’ new API, one can embed entries from Google Books into a web page. So I’ve done so with the preview of “The Way of the Christian Samurai” both on that website, specifically on the free preview page.

To help spread the word and reward early adopters, we’re giving away a free copy of the Digital Catholic Library on CD-ROM (sold on our site for $30) to Bloggers and Webmasters of Catholic or Pro-Life Sites that add a PickAFig Voting button to their site’s template.

Here are the terms:

1) Your site must discuss Catholic and/or Pro-Life topics on a somewhat regular basis.

2) If your site is a blog, you must have at least 3 months of posts on a regular basis, or a Google Page Rank of at least 1. Websites must have at least a Page Rank of 1. We might be able to make exceptions, but we need to be sure that your site is not too new. Of course, adding a PickAFig button can help your traffic and page rank…

3) You must put a PickAFig voting button (from http://www.pickafig.com/button) on your template so that it shows up on each post and/or page. If you need help, we can help you get it put in.

4) You must agree to keep the code in place for at least 30 days. We’re doing this on the honor system, but if we do see it taken down sooner you will be invoiced for the CD-ROM.

5) Quantities are limited, and this is only offered for a limited time.

6) Once your code is placed, email us at sales@dyinglight.com with your website address, your name, and your mailing address. We’ll send out your CD within 6 weeks at the most. You can also email questions to that address if you need help getting the code placed in your site.

We hope that you’ll find PickAFig and the voting buttons to be a useful tool to boosting your sites traffic and popularity!

I’ll be making a number of changes as well as more regular posts in the near future.

As [tag]Japanese culture[/tag] becomes more prominent in American entertainment, mysterious and awe-inspiring tales of the [tag]samurai[/tag] have become more familiar to the Western world. A new book, The Way of the [tag]Christian Samurai[/tag]: Reflections for Servant-Warriors of Christ (ISBN 0-9772234-6-9) explores how the advice and stories of real samurai can help modern-day [tag]Christian[/tag]s.

As Christians, we are called to be both servants and warriors for Jesus Christ. The samurai, whose very title means “one who serves,” were skillful warriors of feudal Japan who devoted themselves fully to the service of their masters, willing even to sacrifice their lives in service to their lord. Christians are also called by their Lord, Jesus, to take up their cross and follow Him, and to seek to lose their life for His sake (Matthew 16:24-25).

While fantastic legends and stories of the samurai are plentiful, The Way of the Christian Samurai draws from primary sources – notes, essays, and books written by real samurai from Japan’s feudal era. Their advice on everything from overcoming fear, giving counsel to others, serving one’s Lord, and self-sacrifice are remarkably applicable to the life of the modern Christian.
Author Paul Nowak ties the advice of these servant-warriors of old, pointing out how the selections from samurai texts relate to Christian teachings found in the Scriptures.

The book is a matchless resource for Christians intrigued by the mythos of the samurai or Japanese culture, or for pastors and other spiritual leaders who are looking for anecdotes that illustrate Biblical ideals. Christian parents whose children enjoy [tag]Japanimation[/tag], [tag]Anime[/tag], and [tag]Manga[/tag] will find it a useful tool in understanding their children’s interests and in ministering to them.

The Way of the Christian Samurai: Reflections for Servant-Warriors of Christ is available for purchase at http://www.Christian-Samurai.com, as well as from [tag]books[/tag]ellers Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.

Review copies are available for established publications and media personalities. Please email your requests for review copies to sales@dyinglight.com.
