A Book For You

It’s Saturday morning. High time for another installment in my occasional book recommendation series. But there is one very important book I haven’t yet told you much about.

My book.

Since that first announcement, you have been so supportive. So excited for me. So eager to read this book I have told you almost nothing about. I am grateful.

I want to tell you more.

Let’s begin with the details, as if this were one of those announcements I once mailed after the birth of my four babies. Those easy statistics that tell you so much and so little.

Title: Roots and Sky: A Journey Home in Four Seasons

Cover:

Release date: February 2, 2016

Available for pre-order here:

Amazon                    Barnes & Noble                   ChristianBook.com

Pre-ordering is convenient for you but critical for the success of new books. Pre-orders tell the booksellers there is interest, and they will stock more copies before the release date. More copies on shelves and in-warehouse translates to more sales in those critical early days.

Thank you for every one of your pre-orders!

What is Roots and Sky about?

This book is about our first year in an old farmhouse called Maplehurst. It begins when we came home to a house, but it describes a journey home.

This is a journey through autumn, winter, spring, and summer toward the home first made for us. The home that is in the process of being remade for us.

This dear, beautiful earth.

This dirt. These trees. Those flowers. And faces. And loves. And stars.

Jesus echoed the Psalms when he said that the meek shall inherit the earth. Roots and Sky is about seeking and receiving that inheritance.

It is for anyone who longs for home but worries we can never come home on this side of heaven.

Roots and Sky is about all the ways heaven comes to us.

Today.

In this place.
