What a joy and honor it is for this Audacious Dreamer & Doer and journaler turned journalist turned author to see my upcoming book God-Given Dreams: 6 Ways to Live Your Divine Purpose in NavPress’ current book catalog!

Only God could do that!

God-Given Dreams is filled with encouragement and inspiration for God’s beloved daughters who could use more courage to say yes to God as they dare to live their divine purpose.

I’m currently in full marketing mode as we get closer and closer to the March 5th launch date.

I’d appreciate your continued prayers as we work on the audio version (more info coming soon) and I start speaking with the media to help get the word out about this inspiring book.

The writing and refining of God-Given Dreams with my fabulous editors was challenging in a wonderful way!

This marketing part is a bit surreal.

What a difference it makes to have the support of a stellar marketing team and publicist!

When I worked at a prestigious newspaper and a women’s magazine, we had marketing and promotions departments to promote the publications.

When I worked as a communications specialist at a nonprofit, I used to create media lists, do media outreach and schedule interviews for others.

As a journalist, I used to reach out to publicists, and I was the one doing the interviews.

God sure did have a plot twist for me.

God knows what’ s on the other side of our yes!

I’m grateful that God has called me and gifted me to write and speak about Him and to encourage you as you walk by abounding faith, hope and love and dare to live your God-given dreams!

I wrote God-Given Dreams to encourage, empower and inspire you to say yes to what God is calling you to do.

Will you join me in praying that many women near and far will be blessed by this book?

A great way to show your support even now is to preorder this inspiring book today for your friends and family, small group members, women’s ministry, etc. at any of these sites:

• Amazon
• Barnes and Noble’s website
• Books-A-Million
• ChristianBook.com
• NavPress’ website 
• Target’s website
• Walmart’s website

To God be the Glory!
