26 Days and Counting…
In February of 2008 I was officially offered a contract on my very first, and I hope not only, real live book. I’ve squealed and carried on about it ever since and – because so much time has passed – I’ve almost forgotten there would be a day when it would actually be released and I could hold it in my own two hands.
This book, the manifestation of hundreds of hours of the hardest and yet most fulfilling work I’ve ever done, will be available February 1. AS IN LESS THAN ONE MONTH. I don’t know why that hit me so hard today but I’ve just been bowled over afresh at all the Lord did to orchestrate this whole thing.
The reason I’m telling you this is because I want you to stay tuned for a fabulous contest that is being offered in conjunction with LifeWay. I don’t have official liberty to announce all the details yet but let’s say it involves spas and shoes. Do I even need to tell you more? Just keep your eyes peeled for more info because it is coming very soon. In fact, if you aren’t on my email list and want to be sure you don’t miss out, it’s easy to subscribe over there in the sidebar!
I want to thank you again for cheering me on in this process and for all the insight you girls gave me for a fun Round Table segment that is included at the end of each chapter. It thrills me that you girls, lay people and ministry wives alike, are all over the pages. It truly was a group effort!
I’m planning some February Fun for us to celebrate. I hope you’ll join in.
p.s. Have I said thank you?
p.s.s. You can read an excerpt or pre-order through Amazon HERE.
Lisa, I am very excited for you. I love reading your blog and I can’t wait to read the book. Keep up the great work!
Wendy
I cannot wait! Can you reserve a copy on Amazon yet?
PS…did you ever announce the winner for the Amazon gift card. Maybe I missed it.

Woot woot!!
Hey – I’ll see you Saturday!

I am in tears as I just went and read the first few pages of your book. Your testimony of your marriage and what God did, hit me hard. When I was first saved I had a dream one night of my husband up on a stage in a dark suit, and when I woke up I just knew he had been talking about Jesus……It’s been 15 years since that dream and he is no where closer than before to me ever seeing that a reality, but it’s a secret hope I have always held in my heart.
Can’t wait to read the rest.

26 more days? I will have a newborn by then and will be in a fog where reading takes a back seat.
But tonight? The first few pages on Amazon totally sucked me in…..such a powerful testimony….that I cannot wait to read the rest. Newborn fog and all.
Congrats on completing this book! I cannot wait for it to come out. Especially because my husband is a pastor, and I LOVE to wear cute shoes!!
I’m new to your blog. I just read the excerpt of your book and Amazon and loved it. What a testimony! I’m looking forward to reading the rest…of your book and your blog postings.
So exciting!! I can’t wait for my copy!

Lisa…no joke…I was drying my hair this morning and thinking that your book was coming out soon and that I was so happy for you! I really am.
I just asked J if he’d snag a copy for me when it comes out. He said “Absolutely!” Can’t wait!!!
I’m so excited for you! I can’t wait!! I read the excerpt and preordered a few weeks ago! Now I just need to get it, read it and get it autographed!

I have pre-ordered my copy on amazon, but will unashamedly be entering any competitions for an autographed copy! I’ll have the coffee (or diet dr pepper!) and chocolate ready and it will almost be like you are coming over. Of course you are always welcome to pop in! ;) hehe

Oh girl! I am just so happy for you! You have such a gift to reach women. This book is only the beginning. I see many more “cute shoes” in your future! :)
love you!

I cannot tell you how excited I am for you! You have worked so hard on this and now it is just a month away! Can you stand it??
I can’t wait!! I think we need to schedule a book signing in Arkansas!
.-= Julie´s last blog ..Good-bye 2009 =-.
oh! I forgot, Can I get it on my Kindle?? I want a real-life copy of course (autographed, do I have to say it???!!!) but I want one on my Kindle too.
.-= Julie´s last blog ..Good-bye 2009 =-.
Not only do you have your own book, but you have your own page on Amazon! “Visit Lisa McKay’s Amazon page”– that’s YOU! Eeeeeeee! :) Can you tell that I am so excited for you?
.-= Marsha´s last blog ..My first gift of 2010 =-.
Congratulations, Lisa! How exciting! Can’t wait to have a copy :)
.-= Deidre´s last blog ..ReVolutions =-.
WHOOO HOOOO!!!
I am so proud of you, friend!!
And proud of myself for being friends with you. Because really, you are so cool, that if you are friends with me, than I must be super cool too.
Yay for US.
But more than that, yea for God, who turned big fat sinners like us into his masterpieces.
love you!!!
Girl, I am so excited for you! I’ve been recommending your blog to several young, young pastors’ wives I know. I think this will be such a great resource for them!
.-= Jeanette´s last blog ..The Year of No Presents to Wrap =-.
I just downloaded the sample chapter from LifeWay and I am dreading reading the last few pages… It will be like eating just one piece of chocolate or a massage that stops after just a minute or just one bite of a roast dinner or seeing someone drink an ice cold diet dr pepper when you are terribly thirsty. I want more! :)

Hi Lisa! I’m not a pastors wife (yet) but a few of my best friends are. I look forward to the release of your book and grabbing one for each of them! I can’t wait to read it my self.
I’m totally digging the title! :o)
