More Progress!

I had another wonderful experience today when going to our KY National Guard Armory to meet some people and share about Secure the Fort's release. I was encouraged and felt it a true honor to meet these Guard men and women.
I was given some contact names and phone numbers of people who may be able to help schedule some speaking engagements about the book's ministry to our troops.
Keep praying for open doors in the direction God wants us to take...
I should be receiving my author copy within three weeks to preview! After I approve that, it's available!
I thanked God again today for allowing me to take part in this journey with Him. It has been incredible. What an honor...

What a day!

Wow! God has really been at work today in preparing the way for Secure the Fort's release!
I have been in awe of my God all day long...let me share.

1. I met some incredible people today at various recruiting offices and at our local Armed Forces Reserves Center. When talking to them about Secure the Fort's upcoming release, they were very positive and encouraging! I met with someone involved with the Army Reserves family programs who literally embraced this book's intent and vision to lift up and encourage our military families. I may have some speaking opportunities as a result of this meeting. God is beginning to open doors to share about this book's ministry! I may even have the opportunity to share about this book at Fort Knox. What an honor this would be! Keep praying for God's leading.

2. I just received confirmation of an interview on June 8th with Bob Calvert, host of "Talking With Heroes." He will be doing a live taping for his show at Port Memorial Baptist Church in Lexington, KY. What an honor and a blessing for spreading the word about this upcoming release! Pray for this event and all involved that it will be a blessing to our military.

Thanking you as always for your continued prayers.

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."

God is working!

The submissions keep coming, and I am continually blessed! Keep praying for a publisher. I submitted queries to four Christian literary agencies this week. One emailed back and asked for the full book proposal, which was sent today. I was very encouraged by this! Our nation needs the message found in Secure the Fort...praying for the means to get it out there.
If you are new to this blog, read further down for submission details.
I'll keep you posted on our progress!

P.S. I submitted "State Needs Church" on gather.com and did that article ever generate conversation. I was called an idiot, cursed, called a religious fanatic, etc. If interested, go to www.gather.com and do a search on the topic of "separation of church and state." Keep looking. It's on there!

Secure the Fort comes along!

Praising God for how He is moving in this manuscript! I just recently discovered about 60 letters my two great-uncles wrote home from WWII! We have literally "lived in the trenches" for several days. What history! Some will be shared in Secure the Fort!
I have also had good response for my submmissions call. I have about 15 outside stories included thus far, and waiting on more! I am humbled...and grateful! This is going to be such a unique book. God is soooo good! Keep watching for details. I can't wait to see what God has planned for this one....share with your family or friends about the submissions invitation! **I am in need of Coast Guard contacts!!!! Lucy
