For the Love
Reading is one of my loves. When Jen Hatmaker posted that they were looking for a launch team of people who would read her book, give feedback and endorsements, it sounded like something that I would enjoy. After all I absolutely loved her book "7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess" and the opportunity to be part of a team to pre-read the book before it comes out sounded fun. I never thought I'd actually get chosen. Over 5,000 people applied and only 500 were chosen. Incredibly so - I was one of them!
It has been amazing to 'meet' the other 499 people on the team and to find others who love Jesus and reading... and Jen Hatmaker too.
I opened my email to find this:
Knock, knock. Who's there? YOU, because YOU are on my Launch Team for 'For the Love'!! Yeah baby!! We only had room for 10% of all applicants (what the??), and we think you got the stuff. THANK YOU for your amazing enthusiasm; I couldn't possibly love you more if I tried with all my might. You are leading well and using your influence like a boss. We all think you are amazing. We are going to get this thing off the ground together! Let me tell you, launching a book is really fun. And some of you are going to end up on the inside cover, so THAT. I said on January 1st this year that one goal was to spend less time pleasing "Not My People" ... well let's be clear: YOU ARE MY PEOPLE. I love you so. I really do. I am loyally yours forever. Let's do this thing.
My marketing team will now tell you all the fun details.
