I enjoyed my book signing at CLC in Birmingham very much last weekend. I met some lovely people in the shop – both staff and customers, and some of them even bought a copy of The Ministry of a Messy House. On Saturday I also appeared in the local paper after they’d sent a photographer round to take a pic. He spent a good while rearranging the mess in my kitchen to perfect his shot. Sadly, he didn’t rearrange any of it so that it was tidier…
Our diocese also published online the article that appeared in the diocesan newspaper this month. The online version has a short video of me in my messy kitchen talking about the book and why we need to know God’s grace. The mess is slightly differently arranged – the icecream tub has moved a bit.
And this week, the first proper review of my book was published online. Eddie Arthur of Wycliffe BIble Translators liked my book and thought that men should read it too (he also blogged a bit of the book that had struck him earlier in the week). This made me happy. I am finding this bit of being an author slightly rollercoastery. Still fun and interesting and occasionally exhilerating. When I’m not feeling slightly nauseous, that is…
The Vicar's Wife 
I read it. Loved it. Then ordered 3 more copies to share and give away. I will blog about it soon. It was such an ENCOURAGEMENT! Yay for you and thanks be to God.
Thank you Debs! Lovely to hear that you’ve been encouraged. And you’ve encouraged me too…
Sadly, you got what you “asked” for when the reported messed up your kitchen even worse than it already was. But, no one ever said that God does not have a sense of humor.
