Here It Is!

I feel like a new mother again! My book was delivered to my publisher, Joe Lee of Dogwood Press, this week. I had the chance to see them for the first time yesterday.

Seeing the boxes of 2,000 copies lining the wall was a sight I had never seen,, but seeing your book for the first time was something else! After chatting for a bit with Joe and my publicist, Nancy Baker, we prayed over the books and for the souls of the people who will be reading it. No doubt there will be a certain group who will read the book, simply because I'm a familiar face and they will be curious. For those, I know the book will infiltrate into their inner-most being and will change their lives forever. For the mature Christian, you'll probably see yourself inside the pages. You'll find encouragement as God speaks to you through His Word and how to weather your own personal storm. My picture may be on the front cover, but this is God's book.

Here are some pictures from yesterday:

Seeing it for the first time! Joe and I in front of the books

I'm so appreciative to Joe for taking a chance on this project. He publishes novels, so this has been a new venture for him. I also signed 150 copies for stores that have agreed to stock the book. In mid March, I will set out on a frenzy of a book tour. The book has pre-sold well on Amazon and the Dogwood Press website. I hope to see you at one of these locations so I can thank you personally for supporting me over the years!
