Wrecked: An Interview with Jeff Goins

Wrecked: An Interview with Jeff Goins

Several months ago, I had the opportunity to tell you about an amazing book, Wrecked: When a Broken World Slams into your Comfortable Life by writer Jeff Goins. The book has found its way into the hands of thousands and it’s changing lives daily.
Jeff Goins has graciously granted me the opportunity to interview him and share with you. I’m so excited! Here we go:
Me: First of all, what made you decide to put an upside down turtle on the book cover and how does that relate to being wrecked? 
Jeff: That was the publisher’s idea, but I loved the image. So did my agent and several close friends.

Hi, My Name Is…Grace

Yesterday was a good day for me in the blogosphere and I wanted to share with you in case you didn’t get to read.
I was priviledged to guest post over at Jon Stolpe’s place on the topic of grace.
Here’s an excerpt from that post:

Do you ever convince yourself that grace is for other people, not for you? That when God was creating our very existence, He wrote your name down on a napkin and said, “Everyone but you will get my grace.” I’m yet to find that in Scripture, but so easily believe it to be true.

What a gift grace is! Click here to read the entire post, and I’d love for you to join the conversation.
Then I joined Eileen Knowles at The Scenic Route to talk a little bit about my new manifesto, Liar Liar
Here’s a teaser of that post for you too:

Satan has a blast filling our minds with pictures that may display themselves at true, but if we were too look closer, we could see the lies for what they really are.

Head over there and take the commitment to believe truth with me today.
Thanks for reading and for being super awesome!

There I was sitting in my car… in line…waiting.
I glanced up and saw the MOST amazing thing.  A tree that had most assuredly gone through years of growth—and had made it—despite all odds.  It had broken through concrete blocks that had purposely been built to keep it out, to hold it down and not just one block of concrete…but layers. WoW!
