We are a Christian Network of up-and-coming as well as established authors. By signing up for the John 3:16 Email Newsletter through this blog hop promotion, you, the reader, will be kept up to date on new p-published and e-published books, as well as future opportunities to participate in promotions for free books, Kindles, et cetera.

We hope you will see the value in connecting as a reader with the John 3:16 Marketing Network. We also hope to implement a new feature for our authors. Readers will be given the opportunity to help our authors make their pre-published books better by providing feedback to them as a Beta reader. More information will be provided as this option is incorporated into our expanding network of authors and readers.

How to enter: You may enter the Blog Hop Contest at the John 3:16 Marketing Network Blog Site, http://john316mn.blogspot.com, and/or any of the other participating blogs. All the participating blogs will be listed on this blog May 7 through May 14 when the Blog Hop starts.

All you have to do is sign up to receive our John 3:16 Email Newsletter. (Located on the top right side column of this blog). You will only be able to enter your name and email once on the list.

Please note: Some blogs may only offer supplemental prizes and not the sign-up for the John 3:16 Email Newsletter. In order to be eligible for a Kindle prize, we need your email to contact you if you are a winner.

Check individual sites for further details.
