How do go about promoting a book on history of a church? (writing, author)

[SunnyKayak]

I have this book that my aunt wants me to help sale created by her Preacher of her church on the history of Pilgrim United Church of Christ the dutch settlement on Abbotts Creek dating back to beginning of the church in Europe.

The book is a hard copy produced by church and is not with a publisher. As many you know it hard for a church to have the funds use to spend on advertising and promotions and involves all board members agreeing to allocate those funds.

This is where I come in I want to help get this book on the market but I am unsure where to begin?

The book is called Dutch Settlement on Abblots Creek the history of the Pilgrim United Church of Christ.

The dutch settlement on Abbotts Creek is the story of one of Davidson County's earliest churches. The J Everette Neese misinster of the church has carefully researched and documented the history of this 222 year old German Reformed Church and it's founders from their beginning in Europe to their emigration to Pennsylvania and finally their journey down the great wagon road to the banks of abbotts creek.

Writing with interest and authority Rev. Neese tells of the sturggles of the early colonists to found their homes and church in the wilderness of their lives in the early years of the settlement. There are chapters on the growth of the church, one of the their founding fathers, Valentine Leonard, a Revolutionary War Patriot the Pilgrim Academy; the break between the Refored and Lutherans, whcih resulted in the founding of Pilgrim Lutheran Church; and biographies of ministers who served Pilgrim.

The history is a thorough one, telling of all phases in church life the music, the traditions and customs, the bicentennial celebrations, the role of blacks in the life of Pilgrim and personal reollections by church members unusual peireced tombstones in Pilgrim cemetery that are an example folk art, and list of all recoreded burials in Pilgrim cemetery

Well, I don't know if this will be much help, but you could try asking some of the local book stores (Christian and otherwise) to sell them on consignment. I know at least a couple stores near me have done that in the past with both books and CDs.
