👀 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, I wanted to share a quick update as I prepare for the launch of the new book I wrote with my parents, From Sea to Shining Sea: 50 Daily Devotions from Traveling to Every State in America. Right now, I’m in what I’m calling a secret launch phase — getting everything set behind the scenes before really making the book public. I’ve been working with the Early Bird Reader Team over the past couple of weeks while also getting things set up on Amazon and having a beautiful book trailer...
