What if I told you I have a brand-new book release for you on New Year's Eve?
That would be crazy! Two books in one month?! *covers face*
But God seems to delight in doing impossible things. So He gave me a book, and I'm ready to slip it into your hands in EIGHT DAYS.
And here's the title...
Oh guys, I can't say how special this book is to me.
It's an anthology of poems from over so many years... poems I cried through, laughed through, that shaped who I am. They're stuffed full of rich colors and joys and war-cries and stories and truths.
They all point to the fact that God is faithful. His Kingdom is coming. And this girl will be found waiting.
Simply put, they're war-cries. It's been my dream to have these poems in print, to grab them as a reminder of Truth, as a reminder of His faithfulness and an urge to travel on, even when everything fights against me.
AND there's bonus features:
Incredible artists collaborated to illustrate multiple of the poems!
A "behind the poems" section has stories, encouragements, and fun facts of what inspired the poems!
Are you as excited as I am?!
God already answered prayers in this book. After publishing The Tale of Honey-Water Farm and receiving sweet, amazing encouragement from readers who are soaking in the story, I had only two weeks to finish this book.
And there wasn't a cover.
But God.
He always does that. *wink* He takes an impossible situation with people (like me) who are completely inept... and He is faithful.
In many hours of crammed designing and dreaming and deleting, my cover designer and I finished.
We have a cover. And it's absolutely beautiful, guys.
AND I get to release it on our first day of snow?!
Without further ado, here's the cover we prayed over, labored over, and God supplied!
Presenting...

Synopsis
a war is waging, and a King is coming.
thus, these poems sing.
they utter war-cries of faith for the one thick in battle.
they whisper teardrops of hope for the aching soul.
and they overflow in dancing, giggling worship because of love.
in stories and colors, emotions and beauties,
they’re an anthology drawing together to testify to the King
through heartfelt moments and
genuine truth
and in free verse and rhyme and behind-the-scenes stories.
an arsenal of indie artists are featured within their pages,
and laughingly, these more than eighty poems sing of joys to come
(like a poem with giraffes).
may every word
stir one’s heart to live for that Kingdom.
Do you see that snowy-mountain-y goodness on the cover?! Ahh, doesn't it make you wanna bundle up and tramp through the outside snow and celebrate the Christmas goodness that Jesus came, and He changes everything?!
Keep your eyes open for more updates and sneak peeks into the book AND for a release in eight days!
Are you a snow-loving soul, or do you prefer bundling up with a hot mug (or both!)?
What's a favorite poem or poet of yours, or do you rarely read poetry? Let's chat below!
The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and rehid. Then out of his joy he goes and sells everything he has and buys that field.
Matthew 13:44~♥~
