Praises!

Some praises to share today!
1. Interior galleys are done for the first volume of Secure the Fort (And Remain Under God). All I need to do is read through for any corrections that need making, and then approve them. We're one step closer to printing! Do pray for this series of books and the ministry they will have to our military families and everyone else who reads them.
2. I just spoke to another military mom this week who heads up www.momsofmilitary.com, a prayer circle of military mothers. The group is based out of Yorba Linda, California. I encourage other military moms to contact them to join this prayer circle. Our military "children" need all the prayers they can get. I am anxious to talk to other moms in this circle and hear their testimonies of answered prayers! I'm hoping to get some of these moms to submit their testimonies for the volume of Secure the Fort that will focus on our Christian military moms in action!

SUBMITTED!

When my daughter asked me several weeks ago when I would be finished with this book, I simply replied.."When God is done providing for the book." Well, we're now complete. It's done and turned in to the publisher as of today!
I covet your prayers for the ministry this book will provide for our military families, and all Americans who value the sacrifices made on our behalf in wars past and present. I pray I have honored both our armed forces and God in its making. May this book spark a revival of Christian patriotism in the hearts of all who venture into its pages.
A portion of the proceeds from the STF series of books will be donated to Military Missions, a Christian military support organization found at www.militarymissionsonline.com. Every book you purchase will also help provide care packages to our troops! Send this link to your friends and family and help support our soldiers...
I'll keep you posted on the progress of the book's production. I look for it to be released in June or early July. Wouldn't it be neat to have it out by July 4th??? :)
I hope you will be blessed by the stories by over 30 contributors!! I know I have been... and I now have many new friends.
Thank you for your prayers and support!
**VOLUME II's subtitle will be Christian Military Moms in Action! If you are a Christian military mom and would like to contribute a testimony for this volume of Secure the Fort, EMAIL ME AT : Lucy@allgloryishis.com!
**VOLUME III will focus on stories of faith by our military chaplains. If you have stories you'd like to submit for this volume, please email me at the above address!

Book Nearing Completion!

Secure the Fort (And Remain Under God), A Military Mother's Message to America is very close to completion! I have placed the book with Xlibris, who published my book, Life lessons in the presence of...Living Water (A Thirst Quenching Devotional).

I have been blessed and honored to include the submissions by over 30 contributors. It is a definite. A second volume will be in the works before too long! So, if you still want to contribute to the book, you'll have a second chance!

I expect a release date of June or July, so keep watching for updates!

**Good news! My opening poem, GI Joes and Army Men, will be made into a single release CD with the help of Angela Lashley of Nashville, TN. See her website about her song release, "So Brave" at www.sobravesong.com. This song was written when her son Jonathan joined the Army, and expresses tender thoughts about our sons and daughters entering into service. Be sure to listen to "So Brave." It will touch every military parent's heart....and that is what I pray happens with both Secure the Fort and the upcoming song, "GI Joes and Army Men."
