CANADIAN LEADERSHIP RESOURCE REVIEW PROGRAM

Are you a Canadian leader in ministry? Do you like being ‘in the know’ about new ministry resources? Do you like receiving free books to review? Would you be willing to provide us with two or three-sentence reviews of the books you receive from us? Join our Canadian Ministry Reviewer Network!
*Note: This offer is restricted to Canadian residents only.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Our leadership review program is simple. Each month we will have a number of titles available for review (quantities may be limited). These will include leadership titles, Christian living titles, Bible studies, women’s interest titles, men’s ministry and youth ministry titles. Sometimes we’ll have Bibles, movies and even music CD’s available for review. When new resources are posted, registered reviewers receive an email announcement about the book, author or other resources.

Feel free to sign up to receive a free copy of resources that interest you and ignore those that don’t. A month after you’ve requested a title, you’ll receive a second email asking you to bless us with two or three sentences telling us your thoughts on the resource you selected and received. From time to time we’ll also send you fun movie, music, contest and promotional offers as well, just for being one of our Canadian Ministry Reviewers!

Who qualifies for this review program? Basically, those in Christian leadership. For example: pastors, youth directors, ministry leaders and faculty at Christian educational institutions

All we ask is that you provide us with a review and, if possible, post a review on your blog, facebook, on Amazon.ca, books.google.ca, shelfari, Chapters.ca, or through twitter. That’s it.

Use the form below to sign up for our ministry review program. You’ll receive periodic emails, based on your genre interest, alerting you to resources available for review.

Are you nuts about books? Do you have a website or blog where you would be willing to post reviews of books from Graf-Martin Communications? Become a book reviewer!  *Note: This offer is restricted to Canadian residents only.


HOW DOES IT WORK?
Our book review program is simple. When we have a new book up for review you’ll receive an email announcement about the book, author and current promotion. Feel free to sign up for those book tours that interest you and ignore those that don’t. Once you’ve signed up, you’ll receive a second email closer to the tour date with all the blog tour ‘goodies’ (book info, author info, promotional materials, and schedule) and a chance to interview the author and/or giveaway a copy of the promoted book. From time to time we’ll also send you fun movie, music, contest and promotional offers as well, just for being one of our ‘Nuts About Books’ Reviewers! 
All we ask is that you post a review or interview on your scheduled date, as well as any contest or promotional information. That’s it.
