{Good News!!}
I've posted before about my hubby's book.......honestly, the past few weeks have been somewhat discouraging. Amazon had sales one week of like....4....not quite the start you want....
But recently, things have been exploding and it's super exciting!! One thing that I mentioned was that WORLD magazine was potentially reviewing it. We had no idea what they would say......would they like it? hate it? tell readers to ignore it??? (If you are not familiar with WORLD magazine, it's somewhat like the Christian version of TIME magazine.)
We just trusted, prayed, and hoped that they would say nice things.....
Because we don't get any magazine subscriptions, we weren't even sure when the April issue would be published......but today, our FB accounts were abuzz with posts by friends saying that the magazine came in the mail.....
I was nervous to read it.....was it a 2 sentence blip that said....boring book...don't buy???
Well.....here it is....Heat vs. Light and Love......overwhelmingly positive!! Written by Marvin Olasky himself!!
I cried as I read it......I was so incredibly relieved, thankful, and proud of my hubby! Truly, he spent so many nights scribbling his thoughts on scraps of paper.....there was a constant stream of "really smart philosophical" books by his beside forever as he researched and confirmed his thoughts.....
If you get a chance check out the review or hop over to his website No Argument for God.
Gratefully!

That is AWESOME! I am new to your blog, so I had no idea your husband had written a book (and one that sounds like an important one at that!) What a great review! I want to order one. Is there a preferred way you'd like me to do it?
I just bought it! My husband and I had a loooong conversation about this topic just the other night. Can't wait to start reading it.

awesome! congrats to your husband, and to you too! i'm sure it wasn't always easy during the monumental task of writing a book!! i was telling my husband about this book the other day ~ i'm going to tell him to check out the website and the review ~ seems like something he would like!!
ps~ i'm also thinking you could really advertise this in the decorating world ~ the dead bird on the cover could make some GREAT halloween decorations ;)
I also saw it on prime space (facing outward) at the Lancaster Barnes and Noble! Great job!
Hi Nicole, I bought his book the same day you posted about it. I am anxious to read it, I just want to finish the book I'm reading at the moment, "Into the Deep" (so heartwrenching). When flipping through the pages it looks like it will be an easy read and the subject matter is something I need to read, I know I will enjoy reading it. Congrats to your husband on the good review!
Thanks everyone for the comments and for purchasing his book! :)
Heather...wow, we weren't sure if the Barnes and Nobles was going to carry it. Borders said no! :)
