And…. A New Book is Soon Arriving on a Slow Boat (or Train) from the Printer!
We have been a bit hush-hush about it, but my latest book is only a few months away from launch! I’ve been working on two research and book projects about mental health for the last few years, and the first of two books,
When Hurting People Come to Church, has just been printed. (The second book is still in the research stage.)
Here’s what specifically I’m loving about this: After two years of research, interviews, surveys, writing, editing, designing, and proofing by me, my co-author Dr. Jim Sells, and the good people at Tyndale House Publishers, it is crazy to picture all the steps this one little book still has to make it through before it actually shows up in a bookstore!
I’m not sure where the actual printer is (publishers use different printers in the U.S. and overseas depending on where they can get space). But the printing process alone is a technological marvel. And if the printer was overseas, that means our little book is probably being loaded onto a container ship right about now. Then it will make its slooooow way across an ocean for about five weeks. Then the container ship will be unloaded in a port somewhere—and all those cases of books will then be shipped on trains and/or trucks, arriving at some point at the Tyndale warehouse. Then from Tyndale they get shipped on
more trains and/or trucks to all the different booksellers out there. And at some point, a copy will arrive in my mailbox—and maybe yours!
Crazy to think of everything that one little book is going through, right? But the long journey will be worth it if it helps people who are hurting find hope and healing.
