Today is the day before the public launch of my second book, Untangling the Mess: Revealing the Certainty of God’s Love!
I am so much like this frog hanging out in my front yard. Like me, he’s waiting patiently for something to happen. Like me, his legs are poised to jump when the right time comes. Waiting is such hard work for the both of us!
My anxiety is high and my emotions are mixed. So many questions are running through my head.
Like these basic ones:
- How will people find my book amid the 32.8 million other books on Amazon?
- Will people actually download the ebook and/or purchase the paperback?
- Will they read it?
- Will they like it?
Then there are these more weighty questions:
- Will the book comfort those who’ve been on the receiving end of hurtful messages about God’s love?
- Will it cause those who’ve felt outside of God’s love, who’ve felt unloved and unlovable, to experience God’s love in new and refreshing ways?
- Will it challenge those who use manipulative tactics to frighten, bully, and scare people into believing that they need to do something or change something before God will love them?
- Will it cause some “well-meaning” Christians to change their behavior, their words and actions, when they speak to others about God’s love?
And then in the midst of COVID-19, when life is disrupted and grief is real, will this book be a beacon of hope amidst the suffering and sorrow of the world?
There is good news about the book this week! It’s received #1 New Release status in multiple categories: Religious Counseling, Christian Counseling, Protestant Christian Theology, Lutheran Christianity, and Eccleisiology Christian Theology. This is exciting and fills me with much hope as I wonder what difference this book might make in people’s lives.
The eBook will be FREE and the paperback is available at a discount beginning Sunday, May 24. Hurry, these discounts will only last a few days!

After reading the book, it would be awesome if you’d take time to leave a review. Reviews increase the liklihood of the book showing up when people search for it.
It would also be helpful if you’d share information about the book with your friends and family and on Instagram, FaceBook, Goodreads, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.
Thanks for helping me spread the word about the book so that all may know of God’s love which already and always holds us tightly.
