COVER REVEAL!
It hit me like a ton of bricks! I revealed the cover of the new book on social media a full month ago now– and I didn’t share it with y’all. That’s a HUGE fail on my side of the screen. I owe this community an apology. Forgive me. Please. Many of you have been with me for decades now and many of you have signed on very recently, but either way, I want you to know that I treasure your engagement with me here and one of the ways I try to prove it is by sharing news here, first. Now, if I’m forgiven, and I feel like I am, because y’all are kind like that. Here’s a video from the big reveal. You can watch it, or meet me below for “just the facts”. LOL!
My new book releases June 13th, 2023. That will be like “tomorrow” for those of us who are always amazed at how quickly time is flying. Can I get a witness? Here’s the cover.
Can I tell you that this image pretty much qualifies as a miracle? Hanky Panky was not down for the photo session. What you can’t see by looking is that I was actually whispering, “Are you getting this? Are you?” because Hank paused ever so briefly and my wonderful photographer, (I love you Stephanie Thornton!) was saying “Yes! Yes! Hold still a minute longer!” And, voila! We got it!
And here’s the t-shirt I’m wearing in the video that my darling daughter designed to celebrate the book (I love you Jessica!) and the bracelet I designed that says, “Jesus is the Good Life!”
I don’t have that merchandise in my online shop just yet, but I will! I put it up on social media and it sold out faster than quick, which blessed me to no end and proved I didn’t order enough the first time. But, back to the book.
This is the study on John’s gospel I’ve been telling y’all about for some time. Friend, I’m beyond excited about sharing this with the world. All of that anxiety and angst I see in my travels that I mentioned in the newsletter here, well, Jesus has an answer for that! The book of John is all about teaching us how to believe and keep believing in the middle of an angry and anxious culture bent on erasing the Everlasting God from the world He created, dearly loves, and paid the utmost cost to redeem with the precious blood of His Son! We really can know peace and joy despite it all because Jesus IS the good life.
Fair warning, you’re going to hear me mention this one a few or several hundred times, but I beg you to bear with me. It’s a message I want to give the world and I’m willing to be a squeaky wheel to see it happen. Much love to you and yours!
Hugs, Shellie

My husband and I survived Hurricane Ian, but only by deciding to evacuate and go to Vero Beach Florida for 2 weeks in hotels, now that was not fun. Our area of Englewood FL was devastated, including many homes in our development. We were blessed that the Good Lord kept our roof on, even though we have some damage to other areas. Reading your post today made me know God’s presence is always with us, through the good times and through the bad. So many people are suffering at this time, especially in S. Florida that prayers are always greatly appreciated.

Julia! I’m so thankful your home was mostly spared from Ian’s devastation but I know the road is long to rebuilding and my heart hurts for your whole area. We know too much about hurricanes here in Louisiana, too! I will most definitely continue to pray for y’all!!! Hugs, Shellie
