If you had told me in January that I'd hand in all of the materials for my fourth book during Holy Week, I'd have laughed. One of the busiest weeks in a pastor's life, and I'd be able to say I was finished writing then? I would have thought that to be an absurd notion back at the beginning of the year.
A lot of things seem absurd now. Like gathering in large groups. And eating at restaurants. And standing next to people.
But that's also the reason why I was able to finish things when I did. My drastic change in schedule afforded me some extra time to work on it, and I also wanted to keep to a daily routine so as not to just sit on the couch mindlessly scrolling Facebook and Twitter for 12 hours a day. These two things combined allowed me to turn things in well before my deadline, and it happened to coincide with what is usually a frantic week.
So now I'm at the stage where I do a lot of waiting. Eventually there will be edits, and then more waiting. I am still hoping for a 2020 release. When I know more, I'll provide another update.
In the meantime, check out the books that I've already written. And I also provide such updates and other things in my monthly newsletter.
