A Note From Dawson Church of Elite Books


Dear Friend in the Personal Growth Community,

I have some burning news I’d like to share with you.* My name is Dawson Church and I’ve been in the book publishing business for twenty years.* Recently a friend of mine sat in my living room and explained his newest manuscript to me.* He’s someone you all know, Steve Bhaerman, aka Swami Beyondananda.

Everyone in the world of spiritual and emotional growth knows Steve, and has been touched by him at some point.* Perhaps you’ve seem him live at a conference, or read his columns in one of the many papers in which they’re published, or come across one of his previous books.* Chances are you’ve had not one or two laughs, but a series of belly laughs, thanks to Steve.* Our time together in my living room was interrupted when I made the “mistake” of cracking open one of his books as we talked.* Chuckle.* Guffaw.* Big laugh.* Belly laugh.* Steve’s work is not just hilariously funny.* It’s full of insight and wisdom.

Today, Steve needs your help.* After he’s given heart and soul to this community for so many years, today is the day that you can give something back to Steve.* He has a brilliant, powerful and transformative new project called The Joy of Failure:* When Loss Becomes Your Greatest Gain, coauthored with psychologist and seminar leader Lynn Lawrence.* It’s about finding the seeds of success amidst the compost of failure, and using those seeds to grow to levels of success we might never have experienced without those “failures.”* This is the book that could take Steve over the top, and expose his wisdom, tender concern for people, and life lessons, to a huge national audience.

To publish this book, Steve needs money.* Specifically, he needs fifty thousand dollars. And it’s time for people like you and me to give to Steve in appreciation for all he’s given to us over the last two decades.

I would like to ask you to write a check to Steve for at least five hundred dollars today. * If you can give more – one, two or twenty thousand dollars -- that would be wonderful.* This is not an investment or a loan, it’s a gift.* However, if and when the book sells more than twenty-five thousand copies, your gift will be re-gifted back to you.* And when it reaches the 50,000 mark in sales, Steve will send you back your gift once again, so your money will be doubled.

I believe that as you read this, your heart will tell you what to do.* I’m not a salesperson, and I’ve never ever written a letter like this before.* But this letter to you is what my heart tells me to do, and I’ve learned that following your heart, and its impulse to give, unlocks miracles in your life.* I urge you to follow that impulse now, and write Steve a check today.

Please make check payable to Steve Bhaerman or Lynn Lawrence c/o WakeUpLaughing, 400 W. Third St., Suite D-144, Santa Rosa, CA* 95401 or click here A Note From Dawson Church of Elite Books

Dear Friends:

*** I was taken by surprise when Dawson made this offer, and even before this emailing has gone out, we've received our first generous gift!* As someone who has authored, co-authored or ghost-authored nine books, I strongly sense that this one will have the most universal appeal, and consequently will help transform many individual lives.* As I continue to work on my "serious" political writings and comic Swami musings, I can see how this book's success will give me more credibility and visibility on both those fronts.* Our goal is to write the "most successful failure book in history" to offer insight and encouragement during life's difficult passages, and to write it with depth, compassion, and of course, humor.*
