I’ve always said that living my books is hard and writing them is easy, but selling them is the hardest part of all. Truth is, without a team of people committed to spreading the word, most books gather dust on warehouse shelves.
I firmly believe Can I Borrow a Cup of Hope? How to Find Faith for Hard Times in 1 Peter will bring hope and healing to readers facing the end of the world as they know it. It’s deep, yet accessible. It confronts suffering, doubt, and worry with grace and truth. It’s Scriptural and anecdotal, funny and sharp, wise and tender. At least that’s what its endorsers said.
But no one will know if we don’t tell them. And that’s why I need your help to launch this book.
The Book Launch Team has four simple asks:
- BUY the book
- REVIEW the book
- SHARE the book
- PRAY like crazy!*
The Launch Team will be active around the book’s debut September 26 and into early October. We’ll make it as easy as possible for you to do each step!
Countless hours have been poured into the manuscript by myself, the beta readers who read every page, and the talented editors and designers at Kregel Publications. It’s a quality book, a beautiful book, a useful book. And it’s more than a book: it’s also a Bible study. Tucked in each chapter are questions for learning, application, and discussion that will bring ancient truths for the first century church into our modern day lives. But if you get the book and for some reason don’t like it (😔) you can return it or I will personally refund your money.
And here’s what I’m offering to you:
- PRIZES given in a Facebook group with fun interaction, behind the scenes look at the writing and publishing journey, and videos updates
- FREE digital advance copy so you can start reading now
- MEDIA and captions to make social sharing easy
- VIDEO conference with your church/small group/organization about the book, how to study the Bible, the writing and publishing process, or anything you’d like!
- GIVEAWAY and guest post or interview on your blog, podcast, or social accounts
- JOURNAL to accompany Cup of Hope
- PREORDER incentives when they become available
- PRAYERS for you!
Please complete the form below to be on the Launch Team, or contact me with any questions!
*You can PRAY like crazy even if you’re not on the team!
