I got my first royalties check for ID: The True You--a whooping $110.43. I'm not retiring early :) The book sold 57 copies in its first month. I met with Dick Foth yesterday and I told him it had sold 57 copies. Dick he told me that Rick Warren's book, The Purpose-Driven Life, had sold 20 million copies. Thanks for the encouragement Dick!

I'm not threatening any best-seller lists, but I keep hearing stories about the way God is using the book to influence people's lives. I've got to share part of one story while respecting anonymity. Someone emailed me this week about someone who had gotten a copy of ID and read it cover-to-cover in one sitting during a pivotal time in their life spiritually. She said it seemed like the book was written for her. One story like that is worth all the time and energy invested. If it can change the trajectory of one person's life one degree it's worth it.

It was a healthy reminder that it's not about receiving royalties. It's about changing trajectories!
