He Heard Hannah is being published!!!
God has opened doors by opening hearts. Things are unfolding right before my eyes in an amazing way and I’m beyond excited! I have accepted a contract offer for He Heard Hannah… and it is on it’s way to becoming a book!!
For those of you who are new to my blog and don’t know about this book I’ve written, let me just say, I got goosebumps writing it. It’s a story that reveals how the death of our daughter changed the life of the 911 dispatcher (Courtney Becker) who took our call that morning. As he shared details of his story with me I was blessed with some serious goosebumps. I’m SO excited for you to be able to read it. God did an amazing and miraculous work and I want to shout it from the roof tops!!
My book will be released sometime April 1, 2012. I’ll keep you up to date on the happenings along the way. I would love it if you would give praise to God for this. I’ve shared my frustrations, my heart, my hopes and my desires with you and you’ve prayed with me. My friends, God said YES to our prayers! Thank you SO MUCH for praying and supporting me.
Will you please begin to pray for the publishing process? I want it all to be exactly as God intended each little detail to be and I know Comfort Publishing feels the same way. I can tell they are going to be great to work with.
This picture was taken after we had supper to discuss the book (when I was nearly done writing).
I am SO stinkin’ excited for you!!!! I have been praying for this. YAHOO!!
Thanks Vera!! Your prayers mean so much!
LYNNETTE!!!! What an answer to prayer!!!!
I’m so so so excited for you! God’s gonna use this in a big, big way. 
xoxo
It is a beautiful answer to all of our prayers. Myra, thank you for rejoicing with me.
How exciting!!! God is certainly moving in your life. I look forward to reading all about your journey!!!
Thanks Loretta! I’m so excited for you to read this story. I appreciate your encouragement so much.
God can turn even our darkest hours to His glory. Writing has saved me as I walk through losing my son to suicide last April. His death has impacted all of us and not just in the ache of missing him. I am a Young Life leader and our loss has greatly impacted the teens in my life. I will definitely be praying for your book. And I enjoy your blog!
In Him,
Joyful
I’m so sorry to hear about your son – and your broken heart. :’( I just stopped and prayed for you.
Thank you for praying for my book. That means so much to me. I’m so glad you enjoy my blog.
Love,
Lynnette
