The Book I'm Writing: You Can Help!

This week, I finished the first draft of the book I have been working on for the last couple of years. The working title is The Power of Pretend: How, on Earth, Can You Be a Christian and an Actor?

WHO the book is for:

• Actors, especially Jesus-loving and Jesus-curious ones
• Artists of all stripes
• Friends of artists
• Any Christian who desires to better unite their faith and their work
• The "dearly beloved": those who long for something, and don't yet know it's Jesus 

WHAT the book is about: 

• My own journey of trying to be both a serious Christian and a serious actor
• An in-depth look at the struggles that Christian actors can face
• A dream for acting and the performing arts as they could be, thriving under Christ's direction
• An invitation to follow God's dreams for us as artists

WHY I wrote the book:

• To provide others with the resource I could never seem to find
• To help myself and others believe that it is possible to be a serious Christian and a serious actor
• To expose the unique requirements and unique temptations actors can face
• To entice my fellow artists with the exquisite beauty of Christ
• To see God bring his kingdom to earth through his artists

HOW YOU CAN HELP: I will be meeting soon with a publishing house to pitch the book, and I would love two things from you, my awesome blog readers:

1. Prayer

2. If you are interested in buying the book once it is published, please comment below. It will help me so much with the publisher if I can show that there is already built-in interest in this book.

Thank you!! I am so excited. I've never written a book before, and I feel like this one has been percolating in my head, heart, soul, and spirit for at least the last fourteen years.
