It’s finally here–my first e-book! I hope you’re as excited as I am. I
wrote this e-book for you, to aid you in your spiritual life. And today
I’m going to ask you to do something for me. But first, I want to tell
you how you can receive a free copy of
Five Lessons from the Carmelite Saints That Will Change Your Life.
It’s easy. All you have to do is
sign up to receive my blog posts by email. At the end of the
process, you will receive an email containing a link to download the
e-book.
What if you are already following my blog by email? No problem. I
have set up a new account at MailChimp to handle my emails to
subscribers. I have also removed the old WordPress widget for email
signup from my sidebar. All new subscribers will go onto the MailChimp
list. If you are on the old list, simply sign up for the new list and
download the e-book. Then you can click on “unsubscribe” in the email
you got today for this post to remove you from the old list. That way,
you will not get two emails when I post on Friday. If you have any
questions about this, leave a comment or email me directly.
Buy a copy for your Kindle or Nook for $.99
If you prefer to read
Five Lessons from the Carmelite Saints on Kindle, you can
purchase a copy for less than a dollar. That’s the lowest price Amazon allows. This is
also an option for those of you who would rather not subscribe to my
blog posts. The
Nook version is available now as well.
Please help me publicize this!
Several of you received advance copies of my e-book in exchange for reviews on your own blogs. You can read reviews from
Kristen Johnson,
Terry McDermott,
Mary N, Nancy Shuman,
Jenny, and
Melanie Jean Juneau.
If you haven’t yet written a review, it’s not too late. Please link
back to this post to make it as simple as possible for your readers to
get their free e-book.
For those of you with a smaller blog audience who wanted to help out
before, now is your chance. I still need lots of reviews to spread the
word. Feel free to provide a link to your review in the comments below.
Don’t have a blog? I also need reviews on Amazon and
Goodreads. Please
Tweet this, share it on
Facebook,
Reddit’s Catholicism subreddit,
Google Plus,
Pinterest,
and any other social media you use. Send a link to this post by email
to your friends and family who may not otherwise see it. I am really
counting on my readers for publicity. There’s only so much I can do
myself.
Bigger projects ahead?
This short e-book is a trial run to see how much interest there may
be in a book-length manuscript on Carmelite spirituality. Your response
to this e-book, and your enthusiasm in sharing it, will tell me whether
it’s worth my time to write a longer e-book. Remember, besides being a
wife and mother, I am a homeschooler before I am a writer. Writing a
book-length manuscript will demand sacrifice. I can’t do it if the
interest isn’t manifest.
It’s all about growing closer to Christ
I truly believe that the lessons in my e-book will bring you closer
to Jesus. They are not secrets. They are the tried and true steps to
holiness that countless saints have followed. If you are new to the
Catholic spiritual life, this e-book will give you a road map for the
future. If you are advanced, it will remind you of the basics. If you,
like me, are somewhere in between, it will challenge and motivate you.
(I am currently being changed by Lesson 5). You can come back to it
again and again over the years. And it’s all taken from some of the most
admired saints in the history of the Church.
Sign up for your free copy now, before you forget.
