• What is something you learned from writing this book?
The first lesson learned while writing this book: I thought I knew what God wanted from me, but in reality, what I wanted was for God to bless the plans I made without consulting Him. When I cried, "Use me!" what I meant was . . . use me in a way that makes me feel comfortable and look good. There's a difference, a Grand Canyon sized difference.
The second lesson learned in writing this book: Obedience does not guarantee an easy road. In fact, obedience to God is often met with resistance. Our family is donating the proceeds of this book to a local nonprofit (minus what the publisher and agent receive). I thought since I had a book contract from a traditional publisher and our family was attempting to live out the meaning of the book and glorify God, that the publishing process would be smooth. Not so.
• Who did you write this book for?
I wrote this book for Christian families, but mostly, I wrote this book for my family (a glimpse at my selfishness already!).
