They're almost here…

The books are scheduled to be here sometime between August 7th and August 21st. I'm feeling pretty restless, wishing they would hurry and arrive. And then I start thinking, "What if nobody wants to buy this stupid book?" I'm pretty good at self-doubt, especially toward the end of a project; you should see me on Saturday night when I'm supposed to preach the next day. Suddenly all my good ideas look like lunatic ravings and I wonder what on earth I'm going to do. And what happens then is that God takes my efforts and kicks 'em into high gear. I want to believe the same thing will happen with the book. I pray that it will be helpful to someone, that it can minister to somebody who might never darken the door of a church. "Lord, I believe. Help Thou my unbelief."
