Look at what I get to tell you about today! =) That's right. You can now pre-order my book, "The Science of the Good Samaritan: Thinking Bigger about Loving our Neighbors"!! To say that I'm over-the-moon excited and nervous would be an understatement. But, I'm thrilled to share these chapters with you. We'll talk about loving our neighbors by tackling issues like historical injustices, systemic racism, structural violence, health equity, faith and church (the good and bad), and silly stories from my growing up years (with fun pictures of those interspersed). You'll also hear about my personal experience of threats, church, and my health during the pandemic which I think many of you will identify with. It's also not just a 'faith' book and I'll share the great endorsements I've gotten from my friends of other faiths (or no faith) in the coming days. And, I guarantee it's not just a science book because who wants to memorize the Krebs cycle again. Although I will have fun epidemiology in there because epid-is-life.
Yay! So excited for you! What a huge accomplishment in the midst is all you’ve gone through. I just pre-ordered! I found an independent book store nearby instead of ordering from Amazon so it’s a double win- a pre-sale order for you and support of independent bookstores! Can not wait for this book! Congrats and I thank God for the light you’ve been to me and so many these past few years.
Let us now sing the Doxology and then "Give Thanks." After this we will all DANCE in the Lord and sing some more. Way to go Emily! I am so, so happy for you and your family.
EEEEEK!!!!! I haven't even read your post (it's been A WEEK around here) other than to see that we can preorder. Then I sent a message and your post to our favorite local bookstore (Bookish, in Camas, WA) to see if I can preorder through them. Congratulations on this exciting part of the process. YES the cover is AMAZING!
Yippee! I plan to order your book as soon as I return from visiting my brother. Would have liked to preorder, but have had issues with our postal service, so I can’t right now. So happy for you—and me!😊 May your voice be strengthened as you record the audio version!
