REVIEWS
With the advent of the new year, I find myself very busy trying to finish a couple of projects. My next book, “Making Sense of the Bible” is about to be sent to the publisher, and will demand a chunk of my time in the final birthing phase. Do publishers offer epidurals? Meanwhile, I am deep into the initial writing phase of the subsequent book, “No More Monkey Business; Evolution in Crisis”. The first 12 chapters out of 19 have been written. It has involved a huge amount of research, and several more months of writing and editing awaits (it will probably be published towards the end of this year).
I’m not complaining. I am doing what I strongly believe God has called me to do in this new phase of my life. In fact, it is a great privilege to be free from the constraints of full-time employment, to be able to devote more time to this kind of ministry for God’s kingdom.
My current busyness, however, means that for the next few months I may be posting fortnightly to my blog instead of weekly. Hopefully this will not last for too long.
In the meantime, I have a favour to ask. It has now been a little over 6 months since my first book, “Finding God”, was published. If you have read and enjoyed it, would you consider writing a review on one of the many online book websites?
I am regularly receiving positive feedback via email. Here are just a few examples from recent emails:
- I thought this was a road directory. I want my money back!
- Can you get some milk and cat food on your way home?
- Thank you so much for your book. I’ve been using it to line the bottom of the budgie cage.
- Please stop sending me emails or I will call the police.
- I didn’t realise God was missing.
- Apart from your name, I disagreed with everything you wrote.
- The high point of the book was the title. It went downhill rapidly after that.
- Congratulations, you have won $250,000 dollars! Please send your bank account details and bank passwords to our Nigerian office.
How wonderful it is to receive such affirming feedback. I just wish my wife would stop sending them to me.
Jokes aside, if you have been helped or encouraged by the book, why not write a review somewhere out there on the web? You can post a review on Koorong Books, Amazon, Book Depository, Goodreads, or any number of other websites.
I pray that 2019 will be, for you, a wonderful year of growing closer to God and serving him.
Thanks for the update Kevin. Working tirelessly for the Kingdom in which retirement is not in the Word. Blessings
Thanks for the slap on the forehead!
