COMING UP! New Book To Be Released on November 1. GET AN EXCERPT IN ADVANCE

Over the last 6 months, I've been working on a new book titled Writing Devotionals That Stick.

The book is a step-by-step guide that explains how to write devotionals (a unique genre in the faith-based market) in a way that stays with today's busy, distracted readers. It's a practical, fun how-to book not just for writers, but also for leaders, entrepreneurs, students, moms, professionals, and many others who want to share their experiences with readers.
 
I'm excited about this book because it is a topic close to my heart after writing hundreds of devotionals for the last 15 years ... and because so many of my readers like you have asked me to write it! 

The book will be released on Amazon on November 1. Stay tuned to find out how you can get your own free copy. In the meantime, if you'd like an excerpt of the first couple of chapters, just click here!
