The world bombards us with its anxieties and distractions while religion often draws us onto the performance treadmill of doing our best for God. With all of that, how will we ever sustain a journey that leans into Father’s love and faces every circumstance in the growing confidence that we can know his ways and follow his lead?
Live Loved Free Full, is my newest book and will come hot off the presses at the end of this year. I never thought I’d do a devotional, but a number of years ago a college intern working at Lifestream culled some of the best insights I’d put into my past articles and blogs over the last twenty-five years of learning to live loved. She formatted them into 365 daily thoughts that could help people lean into more relational space each day with God and with his love for the people around them. This is a book people can revisit year after year to call their hearts back to his reality.
I had taken a cursory look at it years ago but was so busy with other projects I didn’t have time to go through it all. So, it has rested on my computer for the past few years. Recently, however, I got thinking about it after a conversation with my publisher at Blue Sheep Media. I sent them the rough copy, and they expressed a real passion to print it. Surprised at their enthusiasm, I started reading through it and got captured by it. Some of these, I don’t remember writing, but I found myself inspired by some of my own long-forgotten words. How weird is that?
So, I have spent the last few months going through it and working in some of my more recent blogs to put together a book that can either be read as a daily devotional or even read straight through if someone prefers. Many of daily reflections feed off the ones before and continue in the ones following, so some themes carry through for a few days at a time. This book will be in a smaller hardback edition, a convenient companion size for your Bible or journal, if you keep one. My prayer is that it will be a daily reminder to lean into God’s perspective for you year after year.
Now, we’ve been busy getting it ready for a December 22 release date. Yes, I know that doesn’t give you a lot of time, especially for those of you who want to get it as a Christmas gift for someone you love. However, if you want to pre-order it, we’ll ship it out directly from the publisher as soon as they arrive. If we cannot provide that by Christmas, we’ll have a downloadable card you print up at home and wrap to give to your family member or friend that let them know their gift will be arriving hot off the presses soon.
These daily insights are designed to draw your heart into God’s reality with a focus that will open a doorway so you can see your world through his eyes, including the wisdom he has to help navigate your day and the people in it.
This book will help you . . .
- Gain confidence in how deeply loved by God you are.
- Recognize how he nudges you with spiritual insight.
- Lean into a growing trust in the way God is working in you.
- Enjoy sharing his love with others in ways that will transform the world around you.
- Rest from your own efforts and learn to cooperate with what he is doing.
- Find the freedom to follow him, especially when it isn’t easy.
You can pre-order your copy today of Live Loved Free Full, right here and we’ll give you $2.00 off the cover price. I hope it gives you a thought every day that will help your mind and heart recognize how Father is making himself known to you and how you can think through your day with his perspective.
If you pre-order this book along with other products from Lifestream, they will all be sent when the new book is ready to be shipped. If you’d prefer the other books to be shipped sooner, please make a separate order. Thank you.
Hardback with dust jacket, 320 pages, $16.99
For International orders: Since this is being published by Blue Sheep Media, an independent publisher, distributing options outside the U.S. are incredibly limited. We are happy to ship books to International destinations, but the cost is expensive. We don’t profit from shipping, but it is often way more than the cost of the book. If you’d like us to ship one to another country, please email Jess to get a quote for the number of books you want and where you want it shipped. Keep in mind the shipping cost is usually the same for one book as it is for two. We’ll let you know how much it will cost to fulfill that order, then you can decide whether to do it or not. We will have an e-book version that will be easier to distribute overseas.
Hi Wayne. Re: Live Loved Free Full:
This sounds like a great book, and I would like one, are you into shipping to Canada? Please let me know as soon as possible, because I want to pre- order my copy. Blessings, Janet
Unfortunately, international shipping is a nightmare these days. We can send a book to Canada or to any other country, it is just inordinately expensive to do so. We don’t profit from that shipping but it is often way more than the price of a book. If you’re interested in having one sent, please write Jess to get a quote for the number of books you want and where you want it shipped. We’ll let you know how much it will cost to fulfill that order, then you can decide whether to do it or not. We are not part of any international distributor that can put hard copies in bookstores overseas. That, too, is ridiculously expensive. But we will have an e=book version that will be easier to distribute overseas. We are sorry it won’t be the same thing…
Hi Wayne,
So good! I’m excited about it 🙂
However, I read the comment above about international shipping, so having just one single copy to the Netherlands is pavlovsky not going to work either. My question is: is there a Kindle-version? As an ebook?
There will be a Kindle version available at some point.
I will look forward to the Kindle version too.
Ah… of course it should read “probably” .. my phone has a life of it’s own .. 😀
When will it be available in UK??
Thanks
Harry & Chris Jacobson
Not unless bookstores order it. Unfortunately, our ability to distribute to foreign outlets are extremely limited. I apologize for that, but we will have an e-book available soon.
Thank you for your reply, Wayne.
