Adopt A Chaplain!

In the days since my last post, I have been diligently striving to inform more military chaplains about the book's ministry to our troops. I am humbled every time one of these servants express excitement and encouragement regarding this book!
I have been talking with the people behind the Adopt A Chaplain program. What an incredible ministry these chaplains have, walking side by side 24/7 with our troops worldwide! And what an incredible ministry this program is to be able to serve those who serve others.
I sent off our application to adopt a chaplain this week and received our assigned chaplain today! What an awesome year long venture this will be...our church will lift up, encourage, pray for, and send care packages to not only the chaplain, but also to those he serves.
I will be sending him a few copies of Secure the Fort (And Remain Under God) for him to use however he sees fit. Pray it touches the hearts of those in this unit who read it...
Again, pray for our military chaplains and the families they left behind. I encourage you to check out the website for this program at http://www.adopt-a-chaplain.org/. Whether you are an individual, or a group, you can adopt a chaplain. They will provide you the instructions you need, and all the info on your assigned chaplain.
If you know any military chaplains in the field, have them go to the website to apply as an adoptee! We cannot ever support our troops too much...

BOOK RELEASE JULY 4th WEEK!

I received a call from Xlibris and the book will be available through them this week of July 4th, the week our nation celebrates Independence Day! I am thrilled to release Secure the Fort (And Remain Under God), A Military Mother's Message to America on this particular holiday...I could not have planned that if I wanted to. Not with all the variables in putting together and publishing a book with over 35 contributing authors! This was just a little gift from God in the journey, and all in HIS timing. I love it!
Do continue praying for the ministry this book can have for those who chose to read it. My devotional and poetry books were "fun" to put together, but this one has a very special place in my heart and I pray daily for God to use it in a mighty way - within our military families in particular.
The next post will give purchase details! I will never forget the people I have met and the experiences I've had in the process of writing this book. I can't wait to discover "the rest of the story!" (What God will do with it!)
