Hi, Launch Team!
That’s me up during last night’s (Restful) Book Discussion, wondering if your copy of The Spacious Path has arrived. I’d love to celebrate those moments with you. Please post a picture on social media and tag me, or, if you’d prefer, you can email me a picture of you with your book.
Has your book arrived?
Our (Restful) Book Discussion group will meet one last time, and I’d love to have as many of you join us as possible! Bring your favorite beverage, and we’ll raise a glass to completing the launch and then to the gift of beginning again with a Rule of Life.

Your Part 4 bonus content!
The week is here! My book, The Spacious Path: Practicing the Restful Way of Jesus in a Fragmented World, is finally live at all online booksellers.
I have one simple ask:
If you were able to look at the book and enjoyed it, I would greatly appreciate it if you could leave a short positive review on the following pages:
*You can share the same review in both places.
Reviews should only be 1-2 sentences and should take about 30 seconds to leave (and would make a huge difference for me).
Thanks so much for your help! I can’t thank you enough.
But I can try…
Who wants stickers?!?
When you publish your positive review of The Spacious Path, send me a note with your mailing address. The first TWENTY people to respond will receive free stickers!
Email me when your written review is posted. I don’t need to see what you wrote (unless you really, really want to share it with me).
I’ll send two large stickers (one of each design in 4x6”) to the first 10 people who let me know they’ve written a review.
I’ll send two small stickers (one of each design in 2x3”) to the second 10 people who let me know they’ve written a review.
Aside from pre-orders, leaving reviews is the best way you can show support.
Here’s a simple template that might help if you have writer’s block:
A Sample “Fill In the Blank” Non-Fiction Book Review
I read/am reading/ purchased this book because (a problem you needed to solve or desire you hope to meet). I thought The Spacious Path might help me learn/understand/grow/change (fill in the blank). I was not / have not been disappointed. This book helped/is helping me so much. I learned/am learning a lot about (what are some things you are learning in the book). Moving forward, I know I’ll be able to (what you plan to do/be). I highly recommend this book to anyone who (fill in the blank with the type of person who would benefit from this book).
BIGGEST REVIEW TIP: DO IT SOONER RATHER THAN LATER! 😉 And you can honestly never go wrong with a simple “I loved this book!"
Finally, I wanted to give you a heads-up that Amazon can sometimes block or remove reviews if they deem our digital relationship too close or if your account is too new. This is few and far between, so I’m sorry if you run into this, and thank you all the more for your support!
