The Shack

First time for everything, right? This will be the first time that I endorse a book prior to having it reviewed in the Among Worlds magazine. But...can't keep quiet on this one.

Below is a notice sent out by the author (a childhood friend). I've held off posting this on the blog because it is still "prior to the general release of the book in September", but decided to go ahead and promote the book. So...here is my "part" in the marketing for the book (and it is well worth the read!!!!!).

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

A pre-release publication was printed on May 1st, and is to be followed by a General Release publication in September (rumor as of today is that the September release will also be in Hard Bound - this first printing is paperback).

To get your first peek (some of you have been peeking already) at the book and "What Others are Saying" go to our new website for the book : www.theshackbook.com

This is a celebration!!! Let me tell you now, that this book is way bigger than me, so like you...I am just along for the ride.

Thank you to so many of you who have played a part in all of this! As things develop, including a possible major motion picture, I will keep you posted through the website. It will have a blog link soon to my own 'author's website'. There will be links on the website to purchase the book. Please feel free to let anyone/everyone you know know about the website and the book. You can even use all or part of this email if you like. We are not going through the 'usual' channels to market this book, but decided to see what viral marketing ('word of mouth and relationship') can do for the book. We are also looking for more comments and endorsements as people read the book. I will have an email related to the book that people can contact me through: wpy2007@gmail.com

This is all an adventure of grace!

As a book-maniac, let me say, "Hurray! another book by a TCK about themes which matter to us."

I've read "The Shack", and I've been busily foisting it upon anyone and everyone possible! It's an AMAZING book (& I'm an avid book-devourer)! If you don't read this, you will kick yourself one day. If you do read this, you'll be transformed. Yeah, this is one life-changing deal that really delivers what it promises.

Get it while it's in pre-publication so you can tell everyone you "read it when", before it gets big. And trust me, it's gonna get BIG..!
