Rescued and Restored – My First Book is Here!

by Leave a Comment

BookCoverImageI am absolutely giddy with excitement over this announcement! My first published book has been released! It’s finally ready to share!

Over the last couple of years, I’ve been blessed by meeting new widows just beginning their walk down Grief Road. I’m humbled that people continue to send these precious women to my blog to share in my own journey by reading some of the posts from my first year of widowhood. However, the further I am removed from that year, the harder the posts from that time frame are to find on my blog. Several people suggested I make a collection of those posts and publish a printed or electronic book to make them more readily available. Well, I’ve done both!

I’m still stunned that anyone would even want to read what I have to share, but I know God was my Rescuer and is my Restorer during the most difficult tragedy I’ve ever experienced, and if I can bring Him glory by sharing that experience with others, then I’ll continue to do so.

If you know someone who could benefit from reading this segment of my widow journey, or perhaps if you simply want to see more fully how God worked so amazingly in my life during that season, I’d love for you to get a copy or two. You can do so HERE or HERE, or if you’re a Kindle person, you can get the electronic version HERE!

Thank you, friends and readers, for your encouragement and love through the years here at Out of Deep Waters! I truly have been Rescued and Restored, and He’s certainly not finished with me yet.

P.S. I’ll be giving away a couple copies of Rescued and Restored here soon. Stay tuned!

 

My Latest Project

by 2 Comments

If I’ve heard it once, I’ve heard it a thousand times since the death of my late husband, Chris… “I just sent _______ to your blog, so they can read about your grief experience first-hand.”

I’m so thankful that so many of you who walked through that journey on my blog are now remembering those posts as you encounter other women who now find themselves widowed and hurting. It truly is flattering. The struggle? Those particular posts are getting archived deeper and deeper on this website, as time continues to elapse.

While there are other ways to bring those posts to the forefront of a website, I don’t want them to be all that anyone sees. God has worked in so many other areas of my life as well. So, after much prayer and conversation with others, I’ve determined the route I’m going to take…

I’m going to publish those posts in a single book compilation, documenting my first year of grief and widowhood, specifically!

It will be available in paperback and ebook formats and will hopefully be a more useful tool to share with those that could benefit from reading those posts from my faith-filled, yet difficult, widow journey. The project is currently underway, and I would love to say it’ll be available at the beginning of the new year! Would you join me in praying that to be the case?

I’ll continue to provide details about this project as they emerge. I can’t wait to see how God chooses to continue using those difficult days to help someone else! He. Amazes. Me.
