👀 Look behind the curtain of our next book


Hi Reader,

I recently shared about the next book I'll be releasing, From Sea to Shining Sea: 50 Daily Devotions from Traveling to Every State in America.

It's a book of 50 daily devotions based on my parents' travels to all 50 states.

In a week or two, I'll share the full cover + a way you might want to get involved to help launch this book into the world (via Kickstarter).

Inside the book, you’ll discover:

• 50 short devotions—one for each state—perfect for daily reading and easy to fit into your busy schedule.


• Bible verses, reflection questions, and prayer prompts that provide daily direction in your spiritual walk to keep your focus on God.

I really believe it's a great book. And I think it can help a lot of people who are looking for a devotional to refresh and strengthen their faith.

Here's a quick progress report, and a "look behind the curtain."

--It's been about two years since we started on it.

--It's currently in the ninth draft.

To me, that doesn't sound like a lot. We've made great, steady progress. But you might be like...

I recently received the manuscript back from the editor I hired.

And, wow, is she a good editor. Check out the screenshot below of one page of the manuscript. Notice all the changes in red. The editor even asks about which restroom we're referring to in the story. 🚽

I appreciate your interest in this new book.

I'll share more again soon.

Thanks for being part of my reader community.

Hi Reader, When I was a boy, I’ll never forget stopping at the Field of Dreams movie site during a summer vacation with my parents. Credit: Giphy Field of Dreams is a great movie starring Kevin Costner and James Earl Jones, with an important theme of reconciliation. In the 50-day devotional book I wrote with my parents about their travels to all 50 states (coming out very soon!), one of the devotions is about our time at the Field of Dreams. Here it is...
