Good morning, Blogging Family! I realize I’ve been a bit silent this summer compared to previous years, but there’s a very good explanation, and I’m delighted to finally be able to share it with you. I’ve actually been hard at work on my second book!

Hello God: Seeking the Lord When Words Fall Short will be a month-long devotional on prayer, coming Holiday 2024. The content and writing process for this book has been a completely new process for me compared to my first book, where I was writing primarily about my own life and could rely on seasoned grad school faculty for regular feedback. This time around, I’m realizing my dependence on the Lord in an entirely new way, both because I’m no longer a grad student with expert faculty waiting in the wings whenever I get stuck, and because my topic has changed. I’ll still be sharing lots of experiences from my own life, but I’ll be looking primarily to what God says about himself in Scripture. And handling His word in a way that does Him justice and brings him glory (as much as a flawed human writer can), is a much weightier responsibility than writing about my own life.
I’m very grateful to be continuing our partnership with Shepherd Press for this project, and to work with an editor who understands that praying together over the writing is just as essential – if not more – as our technical collaboration.

I look forward to sharing more updates as we move into the fall. For now, thank you for your patience as I steward my limited hand strength for writing the last section of text for Hello, God. I look forward to returning to more regular posting here once we move into the later phases of book production.
