Boom. Done.

Bookmark and Share

Just finished reading the entire typeset version of Wild Goose Chase. Gotta admit. I can't wait for this thing to hit bookstores! It was so hard for me to get perspective on the book while I was writing it. I call it the writing forest. It's sort of like the preaching forest. Sometimes you get lost in there and you can't see the forest through the trees! But I'm starting to see it for what it is and I'm so grateful for the way it all came together.

Also got some good news from my publisher. Looks like the initial print run will be 4X larger than In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day. We're getting really strong buy-in from bookstores which is a great sign.

That's awesome news. I love the cover and the Celtic imagery, and if this is anything like your previous book, I'm sure I'll enjoy it immensely!

Congrats!

Any chance either book will make it to Kindle format from Amazon?

Hope so!!! Loved in a Pit.

Mark,

I'm a proofreader for WaterBrook Multnomah, and I just finished working on your book last week. :-) I wanted to send you a note to tell you that it was such an encouragement to me. My husband is looking into going to seminary in the fall, so the idea of following the Spirit's leading is fresh on my mind. The book came at just the right time (funny how God works!), and was highly motivating and thought provoking. I'm already recommending it to others.

Mark
