I eagerly await the book. That said I am so glad to see you published with Zondervan.

As an evangelical pastor I believe this will be a gateway to local markets that need to hear your voice.

Hmm, unfortunately I can’t find the audio at that link! Maybe they moved it?

I have however preordered the book (months ago!) and am definitely excited for it. Congrats on the book launch!

Very grateful to the author and publisher for being so generous in releasing chapter 1 and chapter 9. This book is going to create some mighty ripples.

I'm very glad you've written this. I think this is a time especially ready for your book.

I am purposely not reading this or listening because I want to read the whole book together in it’s entirety. Lol.

I've been skipping past his excerpts in his daily posts. I'm very excited for the book.

Me too—studiously ignoring this stuff, as I have been. But I guess this post isn't for the regulars here; he's blasting it to the entire subscriber list, which is commonsense promotion.

I agree, I’m waiting for it to arrive from 8 Day books!

I like your point about ‘thin places’. I definitely think those exist. Is it an Irish expression originally?

It would be great to make it out to Alabama this weekend, but it's a little far for me to go. Good luck with everything! God bless!

So...assaulting a post-mortem equine...no audio link working without signing up for Audible.

I've had my encounters, from a moment in the Lord's love, to an encounter with angels(?) that even had them leaving a physical object with me that I still have, still puzzle over.

God is operating, and occasionally, bless people with something spectacular.

See you in Birminham, Rod. Looking forward to the weekend's events and my signed copy of your book.

“It was like a portal was opening,” [Nino] told me. “The best way to put it is that two humanoid-like beings glitched into reality."

This caught my attention. I just wrote a fictional book for my son called "Glitch - On the Edge of Reality", which is about a portal that opens up in my son's life and what happens after that, and includes plenty of angels and demons. In the story, my son discovers he was called by God to thwart what the demons are planning to do, and it is God who has opened the portal, though that doesn't mean it is safe.

I originally meant to write the story almost twenty years ago, but never got around to it. I'm thinking God pushed me a bit to get it done.
