Okay so I’m really laying myself bare here. I’m going to say out loud what I have been keeping under wraps for a while now.
(ahem.)
I’m writing a book.
Okay, I’m not ready to shout it from the rooftops just yet but I am terrified excited to share this news with you here. Brooke, author of Warrior Prayers and Notes to Aspiring Writers: Your Dream, God’s Plan
(due out next week), encouraged her blog readers to come up with an elevator pitch for our books, so here it goes:
The working title is “Bountiful: Cultivating a fruitful life in dry seasons”
Where can we look when find ourselves in a season that is painful or dry? Galatians 5 is a gift from God for a parched soul. My book walks us through the lush garden of the fruit of the spirit, picking one fruit at a time and examining its healing properties for hurting lives. We can find that place of refreshing and renewal in Christ.
I pray this is only the beginning of great things. I am writing this book because someone (maybe you!) needs to read it. God has help for others on the other side of my faltering pen.
I’d appreciate your prayers as I struggle to complete what I feel God has placed on my heart to share.
Wow, Anna! That is great news and it sounds like it will be a great book as well!

Hi Anna-Marie!
I found your link via Brooke’s blog! I love the idea for your book!
I know the feeling of not wanting to shout it from the rooftops either, but hopefully we’ll be able to encourage each other!
I’ll be praying for you and I hope you win!

Thanks Karen! I’ll hold you to it.
And I appreciate the prayers too!
Thank you Kristina! Blessings and success to you.
I’m so proud of you! And I love the idea. I pray the fruit of the spirit for my boys almost every day…one of my favorites.
Summer you are a dear! And you should pray about writing. I bet you have one inside you!
Brooke it means a lot to have you say that. Thanks for your encouragement!
Hi there! I’m visiting from the challenge myself and I think I just found a new friend with a shared secret!
I love the subject, our power is in God’s word alone, so my encouragement is this…..you are following a path the Lord has laid for you, keep Him first and all things will follow to His glory! This is a great subject! And I’m excited to meet someone whose been keeping the same secret I’m keeping too!
God bless and the best of luck to you!
Oh, that sounds wonderful! I can’t wait to read it!
