![Why I'm Excited About This Book and You Should Be Too]()
by | Book Reviews
I’ve been a fan of Tommy Newberry since I was first introduced to his book, The 4:8 Principle. The words in that book changed me. As a matter of fact, I’m in a point in my life where perhaps I should read it again.
When I heard the news he was writing another book based on this principle, for teenagers, I got excited. However, what’s even more exciting is that my friend Lyn Smith is the co-author. I’m so proud and excited for her and this opportunity to be involved in such a powerful project.
I know it will change the lives of teenagers.
I introduce to you Think 4:8, 40 Days to a Joy-Filled Life for Teens. The book is based of Philippians 4:8 (TLB).
Fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely, and dwell on teh fine, good things in others. Think about all you can praise God for and be glad about it.”
This book isn’t for Mom or Dad. It’s for the teenager. In today’s world, we are pulled 100 different directions. We try to fit into every circle, be involved in every activity, and when we try to follow Jesus on top of it, life gets hard.
Being a teenager today seems harder than it used to be.
Tommy and Lyn wrote this 40-day challenge to upgrade the thinking and refresh the attitude of teenagers. We don’t have to live in insecurity. The words of other people do not define us. It’s time for the next generation to understand they were designed by a God who is excited to shape their future.
I’m excited about this book and I want you to be excited, too. Whether you have a teenager or know someone who does, I encourage you to gift them with this book. Oh.. and if you haven’t read The 4:8 Principle for yourself, I highly recommend that, too.
It will rock your world!
The book releases September 3, but you can pre-order it now. Not only does pre-ordering a book help the authors, but you have the opportunity to be one of the first to receive the book when it releases. Sounds like a win-win to me.
Click here to order your copy today and help spread an awesome message to a generation desperate for it.

As you may know, my first published book, Dear Dad, goes on sale today. I told you to wait to buy it – that I would make it worth your wait. Now is the time.
A dream 18 years in the making comes true today, as the book releases. I’m speechless, really (which doesn’t happen often) and I’m so excited about this message.
I won’t spend a whole lot of time telling you about the book. You can find all that, plus the 20 endorsements from people like Jeff Goins, Suzette Brawner, Gary Smalley, Julie Cave, Allison Vesterfelt, and more at the book site.
However, I do want to share with you why you shouldn’t wait any longer to get the book.

Maybe you’ve heard about Dear Dad and you’re wondering what it’s all about. Or, maybe you’ve bought the book and want a little something extra.
That’s why I took some of my favorite truths from the book and put them into 10 daily devotionals you can get for FREE.
It was hard to narrow down bits and pieces of the book and pack them into ten days, but I’m happy about the results, and I’m even happier to share them with you.
Oh.. PS – in case you haven’t heard the news, the book releases on May 7th. Stay tuned for some great details regarding the first week release.
Just sign up in the box you see below and you’ll receive one email a day for 10 days.
It would be my pleasure and honor to walk with you for the next 10 days as we learn more about finding freedom, restoring relationships, and seeking hope.
Here’s a screen shot of the email you’ll receive:
Hope to see you on the ten day journey soon!

Are you the woman who was sexually abused? Are you the guy who’s mother abandoned you at eight years old? Are you the overweight girl who refuses to go out in public because people will laugh? Are you the teenager wearing a pair of shoes from a garage sale and fear others finding out because you’ll be made fun of?

I can’t imagine my life without books in it. Someday I want people to walk into my house and see the ginormous library of knowledge I’ve collected over the years.
Know this ahead of time though, it probably won’t be organized. It will be stacks of books and some of them may have dust. Feel free to borrow as many as you’d like.

I love to read. If I’m not reading a book, I’m usually talking about one.
I also love to say yes when someone asks me to review a book. Afterall, there’s nothing better than getting a free book, right?
A couple of weeks ago I received a book in the mail with a letter thanking me for offering to review the advanced copy. My first thought was, Crap! I don’t have time to read this book by the date she needs it. I’ve got to stop offering to review books.
