Announcing my new book!

I’m so thrilled to share with you news of my new book, which will be published in May, courtesy of Our Daily Bread Publishing in the States and Form/SPCK in the UK. Transforming Love: How Friendship with Jesus Changes Us is a fresh look at the Mary/Martha/Lazarus stories in the gospels, and how friendship with Jesus makes us into the people we were created to be. It’s filled with approachable prayer exercises as well as an inviting dive into the three gospel stories related to Jesus and the siblings. Your relationship with Jesus will be stronger after you’ve engaged with this book (so say my endorsers!).

How’d you like to help out an author and be on my launch team? Here’s what’s involved: I’ll invite you to a private Facebook group where we can get to know each other and receive and give encouragement. When I did this for 7 Ways to Pray, I was moved by the spirit of prayer in the group. I designated Fridays as share-your-prayer-request day, and it was powerful and amazing how people shared and how God met us.

I will send you a PDF of the book to read in advance. What I’m asking you to do:

• buy a copy of the book (pre-orders from your favorite retailers REALLY help),
• share a review,
• share the book on social media.

And if you’ve read 7 Ways to Pray and haven’t yet left a review, might you take a few minutes to do so? Thank you!

PS for those in the Grand Rapids, Michigan, area, I’ll be launching the book at Baker Book House on May 9th in the evening – would LOVE to see you there!

(Note: there are lots of places to pre-order, including bricks-and-mortar bookshops. If you do want to use the Big A and you’re in Britain, please note that the British version of the book isn’t yet available – buy the cover with the blue background when it’s available.)
