AN ANNOUNCEMENT

I couldn’t be more excited to share with you that I am working on my first book due out in Fall 2013 with InterVarsity Press  (title TBD). The book explores the good news that tells us we can stop trying so hard to get to God, because he has done and he is doing all he can to get to us.

Many of us today - regardless of our faith tradition - strive, achieve and perform in hopes that somehow we will do enough to please God and perhaps find God. What we fail to see is that so often, the more we try to find God the more lost we become. In our pursuit of God we end up tired, worn out, and disillusioned.

What we long for is an invitation to experience the grace and love of God that will lead us to greater healing and wholeness and in turn propel us to share God's love, mercy and grace with our world. My hope is that this book will move all of us toward this.

Over the summer I will spend a lot of time thinking, praying, preparing, researching and, of course, writing. In this I ask that you’d pray for me. Would you consider committing to do that?

Please pray that …

• I will be able to focus, think clearly and manage my time well.
• Each word that I write will reflect the love and grace of God.
• That I will be able to “unplug” in the times that I am not writing.
• That this project will be for me a joy and not a burden.

I am thrilled to be a part of this and thankful that you are too. I’ll do my best to keep you updated on the progress, and stay current on my blog. Thanks again for your prayers and support.
