So I’m not able to share a lot of details about this yet but I’m pretty stoked to be writing a new book and to have signed contracts for 2 others. I’ll reveal the details of this all in a few weeks but I just wanted to mention here because I’m stoked about it. I’ve also officially signed with a literary agent too and he’s already been a huge help negotiating all of this contract mess. I’ll be the first to admit that I laugh when I think about what God is doing with all of this. I never would have thought.
This is clearly a teaser because when I post the details I want the posts to look good and I need some help from the marketing end of this publishing house to help me make a big splash with my reveal.
So I’ll just say this about the next book I’m writing. It’s aimed at parents. It supports youth workers. It doesn’t hold back. I take shots at what I see is a very damaging view and practice of Christianity that is toxic to our teenagers. I’ll probably make some people mad but hopefully I’ll be pointing fingers at myself enough that they see that I’m in this struggle with them.
This book will launch in the fall and I’ve got only a few short months to get all my ideas down on paper. I could use some prayer and encouragement.
I’m writing a new book. Gonna make some parents angry.
