A New Video
....and the pleasant job of promoting the book goes on. As do the most gracious comments about it.
I guess, in the week and a half since the official release of the book, I've done a couple dozen interviews about it on radio stations all across the country.
I got a kick that the very first one was with a station in Bangor, Maine. How appropriate that that first telephone interview was with the station owned by none other than Stephen King, who, in a way he never intended, got our whole Maine adventure started those many years ago. Mary Jo and I owe him a great debt -- the debt of gratitude for introducing us to new lives we did not expect to seek let alone accomplish.
There've been interviews with Christian stations and secular ones. At first, I am ashamed to confess, I treated them differently -- muting my message of Belief on the secular stations; highlighting it for the Christian stations. Mistake.
It was a matter of feeling comfortable "preaching to the choir" but uneasy speaking to someone who might not agree. That is not the way to evangelize and all Christians are called to be evangelical.
How pleasant, then, when I found, speaking to secular stations, kindred company and no disdainful belittling.

By the way, a chain of Florida newspapers, in a feature for their "Diversions" section, has just put together a brief written feature and linked to it a video interview they made at their studio. Very nice job, they did and I'm happy to share it with you.
