Book 4 Update!

I’m delighted to share that my editor had such lovely feedback about Book 4!

She said I did a wonderful job on the book and that my manuscript was a huge blessing. She loved learning about me and traveling with me to different countries. She said my testimony of how God did a miracle in me and then used me to spread His Good News around NYC and the globe was a true inspiration. All glory to God!

After a few tweaks and edits on my end, the manuscript is now back with my editor for her final look.

The editing phase is one of most challenging parts of the writing process. I appreciate your prayers as I near the end of this part of the journey. There’s still much more to come before the fall release.

I’m delighted to invite you to join Abounding Faith’s Dream Team! As a Dream Team member, you’ll be among the first to:

What’s New at Abounding Faith?

July has been an interesting mix of enjoying the present, reflecting on the past, and preparing for what’s next.

It’s been a delight to be part of the small group of my friends who are studying Crossing Your Jordan River! It’s surreal to hear the group take turns reading the book out loud. I’m touched to hear how the book is blessing them. Some of the words used to describe the book are “powerful” and “challenging” and the questions at the end of the chapter were described as being “insightful.” At the end of our last meeting, one of the members said he couldn’t wait to read the next chapter. Glory to God!

There are currently three local groups studying my books. I hope Crossing Your Jordan River, Waiting on God Well, and Abounding Faith are on your summer reading list!

I’ve been so blessed by the positive feedback I’ve gotten from my current books that I’m inspired to keep writing. I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve started drafting my fourth book! This book will include my testimony and stories about my adventures on five short-term missions trips, multiple outreaches in New York City, and various other travels and experiences. God is so good!

I’m also planning my next event and will be adding more inspirational items to Abounding Faith’s online store.

I’m grateful that you’re on this journey with me. I appreciate all your encouragement and support. I hope you will continue to tell others about Abounding Faith’s books, online store, YouTube channel and more. Together we can continue to encourage people to live their God-given dreams!

If you’re feeling stuck on your journey to living your God-given dreams, I’d be delighted to be your Life Coach. And if your dream is to honor God by writing a book, you can learn more about my Book Writing Coaching program and my Book Writing Strategy Call.

I look forward to sharing more updates with you soon.

I pray you have a blessed rest of the summer!

Crossing Your Jordan River Book – Update!

I’d like to take a moment to thank all of my Crossing Your Jordan River readers and to share about some of the doors the Lord is opening for my trio of books.

I’m delighted to share that pre-signed copies of Crossing Your Jordan River, Waiting on God Well, and Abounding Faith are now available in a bookstore that just opened in Lomita, CA. It’s a blessing to know that my books are on the West Coast. Glory to God! I hope you’ll tell your California friends about Pipe & Thimble Bookstore. If you swing by the store, I’d love to see pics!

I’m also excited to share that a few of my local friends are going to start studying Crossing Your Jordan River tonight. God is so Good! I’m honored and humbled. As I’m writing my books, I’m never quite sure who is going to read them. And when I’m writing the questions at the end of each chapter, I can envision groups studying the books together but I never know who will be in those groups. I’m grateful that I get to join my friends as they launch out on their faith journey together.

I’m also touched to know that my friends at Woodcrest Nursing Home and Rehab center are also studying Crossing Your Jordan River.

As you can tell, my readers are special to me. I love seeing photos of my readers. Here are just a few:

If my books have been a blessing to you, please feel free to snap a pic with your book and email it to me at info@AboundingFaith.com or post it on Abounding Faith’s Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram page. Kind and short Amazon reviews are also always appreciated.

I look forward to sharing more updates with you! Please stay tuned for more info about Abounding Faith’s fall event(s).

In the meantime, be sure to pick up copies of Crossing Your Jordan River, Waiting on God Well, and Abounding Faith in print or on Kindle on Amazon and tell your friends and small group or book club members about the trio. Once you all have your copies, why not consider hosting an Abounding Faith Book Social this summer? You can learn more about Abounding Faith Book Socials here.

Thanks for all of your support and encouragement! Blessings to you as you dare to live your God-given dreams and wait on God to fulfill His promises to you!

Crossing Your Jordan River Book On Sale Now!

I’m excited to announce that Crossing Your Jordan River: How to Possess and Prosper in Your Promised Land is now available in print and on Kindle on Amazon.

I pray you’ll be blessed by reading my latest book! If you are blessed, please leave a kind and short review on Amazon and tell your friends, family, and small group members about it as well.

Crossing Your Jordan River picks up where Waiting on God Well and Abounding Faith leave off. It includes Power Verses, Reflection Questions, Prayer Starters, and has blank lines for you to journal your thoughts just as Books 1 and 2 do.

Would you believe I didn’t set out to write this “trilogy” of books? God just worked it out this way.

I may have grown up writing in my journals and gone on to get a master’s degree in journalism from NYU and write for The New York Times, but I didn’t think about writing books until much later. I think that’s why I’m in awe when I see this picture of my author page on Amazon.

Only God could do this! I’m humbled that God would allow me to write another book that honors Him.

I’ll have plenty of thoughts to share after my upcoming book launch event.

For now, I’ll share this description of Crossing Your Jordan River:

Do you ever feel like you’re never going to make it to your Promised Land? Be encouraged—God wants you to get there even more than you do! Crossing Your Jordan River will take you on a journey with Joshua from the Bible so you can learn how he went from being Moses’ aide and living in the wilderness for forty years to leading the children of Israel triumphantly into the Promised Land. Be inspired as you prepare, pursue, and possess God’s promises for your life!

Thanks again for your prayers and support! To God be the Glory!

3 Journal Writing Prompts to Help You Wait on God Well!

Copy of Copy of Copy of 5 Tips for Christian Speakers

What promises are you waiting on God to fulfill in your life? Whether you’re waiting for a breakthrough in your professional or personal life, I encourage you to record your thoughts in a journal. It’s helpful to write out your prayer requests, praise reports, and reflections.

Need a little inspiration to get started journaling?

I’d like to share 3 journal writing prompts that are inspired by my book Waiting on God Well: How to Prevent Breaking Down on Your Way to Your Breakthrough (available on Amazon).

I hope you will prayerfully respond to the following questions in your journal:

  • The Bible verses that I am standing on in this season are …
  • The Bible character that most inspires me right now is …
  • Today I am grateful for …

One of the best things about jotting down your thoughts is that you can always go back and read them at a later date and hopefully be encouraged by how God delivered you from certain circumstances and gave you the grace to endure other situations.

If you’d like more journal writing prompts to help you during your waiting season, just download my new free PDF “7 Journal Writing Prompts to Help You Wait on God Well” as a free gift when you sign up to get my weekly blog posts emailed to you for free.

It’s as simple as clicking here or the image below:

Get Ready to Write Your Book!

ready-to-write-2

Do you have a book idea burning inside of you but you’re not sure how to organize your thoughts and bring your manuscript to life? Are you struggling to figure out where to start with your story and fighting writer’s block every time you sit in front of your computer screen or try to put pen to paper? Are you interested in learning more about the world of indie publishing?

If your answer is “YES” to any or all of these questions, I’m excited to share that I am now offering Book Writing Coaching sessions!

I’ve been writing since I was a child, and I have a Master’s Degree in Journalism from New York University. I have written for various publications including The New York Times and was an associate editor and writer at Latina magazine. My books Waiting on God Well: How to Prevent Breaking Down on Your Way to Your Breakthrough and Abounding Faith: 30 Bible Heroes Who Will Inspire You to Believe God for the Impossible are available on Amazon. I’m currently working on my third book and continue to blog.

I’m now feeling led to help raise up the next generation of Christian writers who have the gift of the pen and would like to bring glory to God through writing.

You can learn more about these new 10-week Book Writing Coaching sessions by clicking here. I can only work with a limited amount of writers at this time. I hope one of them is YOU!

Don’t let another year come and go with your book idea hiding in your thoughts or in your journals. If God is calling you to share your story with others and to bless them with the lessons you’ve learned and the encouragement and comfort you’ve received, I hope you will take this important next step in your writing journey!

Many blessings to you as you take steps to write your book!

5 Journal Writing Prompts

Copy of 5 Tips for Christian Speakers

More and more people are telling me that they enjoy writing and would like to one day write a book. What a beautiful dream to have! I’m excited to announce that I’ve just launched a Book Writing Coaching program, which you can learn more about by clicking here.

I like to encourage folks to begin their writing journey by keeping a journal. Journaling helps you to record your life story and to save precious memories. Writing down your thoughts and reflections also help you to meditate and remember all that the Lord is speaking to your heart through His Word.

Not sure what to write in your journal?

Here are 5 Journal Writing Prompts to inspire you to write away:

  • The best thing about today was ….
  • One thing I learned today was …
  • The best way to describe today is …
  • Today I’m feeling like this person from the Bible …
  • Today this Bible verse is speaking to me ….

Need more ideas? You can get a free copy of my “12 Journal Writing Prompts” PDF when you sign up to get my weekly encouraging blog posts emailed to you. This blog is like my online journal in many ways.

I also have stacks and stacks of journals at home. If you’re like me and you never have enough blank notebooks to jot down your thoughts or if you have avid writers in your life, I invite you to take a look at Abounding Faith’s online store to find journals like the ones below (many of the covers feature pics I’ve taken during my travels):
