I would covet your prayers for the next 5 weeks as I bear down to finish writing my first solo book. It is entirely focused on the two Great Commandments, which Jesus said are the “the greatest and most important commands.” (Love God & neighbor) The book will be available in about a year since I have a collaborative funeral sermon project with my childhood pastor Paul Powell which will be published first.

I will become virtually inactive on social media in July so that I can concentrate on this wonderful task. That of course includes this blog. I will be posting some fresh posts on my site from guest bloggers however during this time.

Also, thank you for praying for my ministry to pastors. Our Pastor Date Nights and Roundtables are booked almost entirely through 2017, along with several other exciting speaking engagements which will take me (and sometimes Janet) to over thirty cities each year. We are very grateful for the privilege of serving pastors, spouses and seminarians through LifeWay.

Thank you friends!
