God Brought It About!!

Have you ever wished you had a book of Bible Love Notes?

For years readers have written asking me if there was a book of 1-minute devotions available. I understand their desire: I love to hold a book in my hands, scribble notes in the margins, or mark a favorite devotion by folding the corner of the page. 

There are some things a book provides that an emailed devotion cannot. 

An answer to prayer!

I’ve prayed about publishing a book for years, but getting a book published is a time-consuming project, and I wasn't sure I had the time with all of my responsibilities with the Bible Love Notes ministry. So in the summer of 2021, I asked the Lord to make it clear if He wanted me to write a book.

In early October 2021, an agent (with a Christian agency) saw my work on Bible Love Notes and contacted me, asking if I wanted him to represent me to publishers. In the publishing world, an unpublished author needs an agent before a publisher will look at their proposal. And my friend who is a published author told me that it was quite unusual to have an agent contact me. Typically, unpublished authors have to seek out agents.

I felt this was an answer to my prayer, so I prepared a proposal, and the process went much faster than expected. On December 10, 2021, I signed a contract to do a devotional book with B&H Publishers (a division of Lifeway). The book is called Wisdom for Life and it contains 100 1-minute devotions based on Psalms and Proverbs. It came out in Spring 2023.

I know that only the Lord could have brought this all together, and I’m excited. 

With all my heart, I want to honor the Lord with this book. From the beginning, before it was even published, I've prayed it will bless those who read it, drawing them closer to the Lord.

While the book contains similar content to the Bible Love Notes blog, it is not simply a repeat of things published online. The devotions can be read in one minute just like the online devotions, but each devotion in the book has a "For Further Thought" section with a suggestion, question, or thought to ponder when you have more than one minute.

Bible Love Notes is still my first priority and I continue to offer it free of charge without pop-up ads or donations. 

But I hope you will also check out Wisdom for Life. I think God can use it in your life whether you are a mature believer or a new believer.
