“Worth More Than Rubies” is about the work at home mom, a woman following in the steps of the Proverbs 31 Woman.

Here’s what some readers say:

“An inspirational read. Just goes to show you can do anything you want to, and not let family be an excuse for not achieving your dreams. Let them be the reason instead.”
Lorraine Pirihi, www.theproductivityqueen.com

I am also an author who has written a new book entitled,  Worth More Than Rubies: The Value of a Work At Home Mom.  Worth More Than Rubies takes you on an exploration of what the Proverbs 31 woman is about, bringing her into the 21st century, and showing how a business can be run from home whilst also caring for the family. This book is being launched at Amazon very soon.

Here’s what of few reviewers had to say:

Launch!

On June 27, 2008 (June 26 if you are in the northern hemisphere), Kathie will be hosting an international book launch aimed at reaching well over 100,000 people.  In return for ordering a copy, customers will be invited to receive a number of free valuable bonus items at a page that I will have set up.

I believe that you have direct connection in line with my target audience (women in the 25-55 age group), and I would love for you to participate in the campaign that will target hundreds and thousands of people.

What Do I Need From You?

Step 1 : Decision to participate. Most of you on this list have already made that decision – thank you.

Step 2 : Offer a bonus gift to attract readers to your website.  I will need a brief description (50-100 words), a picture of you or the bonus item, value of the gift and the link for buyers to claim the gift. Please note this means you could get many new subscribers to your own list, as well as receiving what you have to offer. If you haven’t yet given me your information or perhaps need to include items such as the value, you will send this information back to me at kathie@vadirectory.net

Step 3 : Agree to send an email to your subscribers on June 27, 2008 (June 26 if you are in the northern hemisphere) announcing the book. (Don’t worry! I will provide you with a sample email copy). The free gifts will be made available for a 24 hour period only. People can buy the book anytime but to receive the free gifts they need to purchase during the 26/27 June 24 hour period – depending on whether they are in the northern (26th) or southern (27th) hemisphere.

I would appreciate your commitment and gift by June 20th so I can ensure a complete compilation of all the bonus materials.  I greatly value and appreciate your support and participation.  Please contact me at kathie@vadirectory.net if you have any questions about participating and I can send you a pdf version of the book for your enjoyment and review.

With gratitude,

Kathie M. Thomas

P.S. If you know anyone else who would benefit from this opportunity, I would appreciate an introduction.  Thanks again for your consideration and I hope you will choose to join with me in this book launch.

My book is available in bookstores and online and there is still time to receive a copy to give to a friend or family member for Easter.

Keep a watch on this site as there will be a Mother’s Day promotion taking place and I will have something special for some mothers.

Hi everyone, thought I’d come over and pay you a visit from the land of Oz – well, at least in a virtual way, but I’m hoping it might become more physical in 2008!

I’ve been invited to an event being held in April at Daytona, Florida. Now, at this stage I cannot afford to go to that place but my daughter recently wrote an excellent blog post on something she heard at Hillsong this year and it basically says ‘if it’s God Will, then put it on God’s bill’. (see http://equus.thomases.org/2007/08/07/gods-will-gods-bill/)

I’d already dismissed this trip as impossible but after reading that message something went off inside of me and I realised that if God wants me to be at this event then He will foot the bill – I just have to put in the effort and step forward in faith.

So, this long-winded post is one of my steps forward. If you know of any church conferences or events, Women’s events, Mother’s groups, etc, etc that might have an interest in a speaker/author from Australia whose main topic is The Proverbs 31 Woman then I want to hear about it.

I believe, where possible, women should be working at home and caring for family (read that, run a business, earn an income and work at home whilst caring with family) . Remember I said ‘where possible’. I know that not all women and mothers are cut out for that, and not all have the opportunity, but I do believe my book opens doors for those who want to do that. And the book has already been instrumental in women returning to their faith, or finding faith where it didn’t exist before.

So, I would love to hear about these opportunities – I need contact details or I welcome you forwarding my details to the people involved. My speaker’s website is at www.kathiethomas.com and my book site is www.worth-more-than-rubies.com.

Thanks everyone… in advance!
