The wait is over...

Well, I didn't realize when I posted the previous post (before going to bed late last night), that I would be beseiged by phone calls today. Several people were hoping I was going to say Andrea and I were having another baby. Some people guessed that Andrea's sister Mandie had her twins. One person thought I had some special announcement to make about my car.

The "big news" is that I am now holding in my hand a First Edition copy of my new book, "Words that Sting." I started this book almost two years ago, but because of many big and time consuming life events, it has taken me until just recently to finish it. I was told on Friday that the publisher would be sending me copies of it today, so of course I have been excited about that.

The book isn't terribly large (122 pages), but I hope it becomes a useful tool in the libraries of many people. As you can see by the cover, it's all about how to deal with criticism in a Christ-like fashion. My big hope is that this book will find its way into the libraries of many pastors and others who know what life is like when you're in full time ministry.

Thanks to everyone who showed intrest in the topic while I was writing it. It has been encouraging to know that you were excited about reading the book when it was done. I will be posting more info. about where to get a copy of the book in the coming days.
