Hi everyone! Did I tell you that I had to cut 20,000ish words from my book? I guess I had a lot to say…well, or just friendly! I decided to share one of those cut chapters as a bonus if you pre-ordered the book. And, now I’m sharing it with you in the Substack FNE community too. This chapter is like one big ole' ‘Thank You!’, so it fits right in to share it with you. I hope you enjoy it! Also, it’s a little flavor of what the rest of the book sounds like with my writing style, stories, and overall flow.
Sank you! I shared your book with my mom, who is junior warden at her Episcopal church that is in the search for a new rector. She read the first couple of chapters and gave it back. She then told the entire search committee and vestry that they needed to buy them and read it. You captured the essence of what community means to us and to what we want the Church to be. As a fellow former band kid from Texas, I feel you.
Even tho I haven't had chance to read your book yet, I do have it and plan to! I appreciate your embrace of both faith and science and wish that more churches would do this.
