I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday and that your Christmas season is shaping up to be a great one as well.
Today I wanted to give you all a little update about something I've been working on since our Son Caleb was born. It's a new concept for a book.
---------
Many of you know that My wife and I have been working on a series entitled "Kedoshim: The Untold Journey". The first book in this series is still in the 'in progress' stage but we have a title for the first book. It's called "Kedoshim: The Journey Begins".
However, this is not the book I wanted to update you about. The book concept I have been working on in recent days is very different. It is pulled from my Devotional Blog...
www.gathering-777-together.blogspot.com.The night after Caleb was born I woke up in the middle of the night with this idea for a devotional book that combines Letters, Devotionals and Reflections. I have always wanted to do something like this and I am so excited its finally coming together. I have to say the timing was perfect because I had two weeks of paternal leave and Traci's mother was staying with us for quite some time.
This gave me the time to write the book. It's a pretty simple book to write because a lot of it was already written and posted on my devotional blog. I am very excited about it if you can't tell because I really feel as though God gave me the motivation to write this book because of where I am at in my spiritual life. It also ties really well into another Idea God has given Traci and I that we aren't ready to share just yet. :-).
I have titled this book 'Ahavah' Writings for the Journey. The word 'Ahavah' is a new testament word for Love. Thus making this book 'Love' Writings for the Journey..... Here is the back cover text... Let was know what you think...
God has taken my life and made it something truly wonderful. Growing up I went through so many things I shouldn't have gone through but every step of the way God was with me. I was blessed beyond what I could ever imagine, not in the way you would guess, but in the way of experiences that I have been able to use to reach others.
Ahavah' Writings for the Journey is the result of those experiences in my life as well as in the family God has blessed me with. The purpose in sharing these writings with you is simply meant to be a bit of encouragement to all those that read it and to remind us all that our 'Ahavah' (Love) Journey with Christ is indeed a continuous one.
God's promises are so wonderful and they are always anew. God promises us that he will be faithful to us, all we have to do is trust in Him for guidance. It is my hope that this book will help you, the reader, do so.
Blessings to you all,
Matt
