Presenting Two Great Opportunities for You and Me

I have two great opportunities to present to you before I report to you about the podcast interview I was preparing for when I last posted. Some have asked how it went. I’ll tell you a bit at the end of this post and then more another time. For now, let me share some emerging possibilities that could bless you and some of your friends.

First, we’ve been given an opportunity. What opportunity? Well, check out the Amazon page on my book. The link is near the bottom of this post.

The price has greatly dropped on Amazon (but not on Barnes & Noble), so now is the time to buy some copies for friends and family. (Currently, you can buy three copies for the price of one.) These copies are the first printing of the first edition. Some charts have been added and edits have been made which will be found in copies after all of these first printings are sold. I can send you the added charts and changes if you order soon, if you send me a request via email. I’ll give you contact information below.

Second, here’s an opportunity that I’m offering: an online class/community traveling through this Bible study,  A Traveler’s Guide through Suffering and Joy. Would you like to be a part of this? I’m hoping to start the group study in mid-September, trekking through the book in eight to nine sessions, finishing before Thanksgiving.  We’ll meet online (GoogleMeets or something like this) once a week for live gatherings which will be recorded so you can listen to them later if you can’t always join us. (I’ll get back with you on the time schedule, but if you want to let me know your preferences, please do so. We’ll see what we can do.)

Buy your cheap copies of my book now. Look through the book, and ask God to lead you to a partner or group to do this with you. You can gather your own little group of friends and relatives to journey together!

Be encouraged and inspired by the book description on the back of the book (which you can read on the Amazon page or on my website). Use that description to encourage others to join you.

There’s more:

I am currently looking for tech help for this class and to help me further develop my website. If you’d like to help, please email me. If you’d like to join the class/community, please email me. If you choose to purchase some of these books, let me know (to encourage me).

There is one other important thing you can do. If you have read the book or parts of it, please leave a simple recommendation or an encouraging review on Amazon and/or Barnes & Nobles.  Short and simple recommendations are great; you don’t have to say a lot. Reviews can be longer, helping seekers know more specifically why this book can be a good experience for them.  Both help bring more attention to the book.  We need more people to turn to Jesus, growing in Him and being transformed by Him.

I look forward to hearing from you in one of these ways:

Regarding the podcast interview:

Let me report that the interview appeared to go well. I greatly enjoyed the three hostcasters. Since they are not publishing the interview until their next season, beginning in January, we won’t be able to access it for a while, but I’ll be sure to share about the podcast and give you the link when I have a publishing date.

Remember:

“As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him.” Colossians 2:6

“Beloved” [yes, we are His beloved], do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange things were happening to you; but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing; so that at the revelation of His glory, you may rejoice with exultation.”       I Peter 4:12-13
