I'm in the process of writing an inspirational book which i want to get to the printers by October.However I have no idea how to format the book,cover design and page layout.
I'm just writing it for my friends and family and I want to be able to give it to them for the Christmas holiday. Does anyone know how i can do this or any good websites with info?
Thank you very much.
Oh by the way I would appreciate if you could like tell me what type of cover design catches your eyes,what type of text you also like to read.And any other helpful hints you could give on what you think makes a good book[apart from content]
Thanks

I don't like fancy text..I want it to be easy to read, no cute little tiny print.......pics of water and bread have been used as covers for this type of book..or wine..sheep in a green pasture. The lovely Rose of Sharon makes a nice cover. Lily of the Vally would be another good choice..
Perhaps a pic of something, say a Sunrise and poem about the Sunrise: This one is in public domain,,
Every sunrise is a present, a gift from God above,
Gift-wrapped with scarlet ribbons and tied with bows of love.
Each day's a new beginning, a time to start anew,
While all the stars are sleeping, and the rose is fresh with dew.
Every day's a new creation, too lovely to ignore,
And we may find a blessing, just outside our door.
We cannot keep the past, like fireflies in a jar
Nor journey to the future by wishing on a star.
Every sunrise is a blessing, a gift for just today.
Rejoice, my friend, embrace it before it fades away!

Really, it's like this:
God, the Holy Spirit, and the Bible.
If you cannot use the Bible for inspiration, then you are slipping!
You need to rededicate yourself to the power and persuasion that God brings to those who trust Him.
And if that didn't inspire you then you are worse than you think!
