There is Hope

For the past 20 {?} years, my dad has been writing a book. He tried to get it published a few years ago, but the company said they didn't think it would have a good sales turn out, so they turned him away. After a huge disappointment, my dad put the binder full of typed up stories on the shelf, and called it a wrap.

My mom has always thought that he should try again. It had been a couple of years since the first go-round, so there were certain things that needed to be changed and added to the book. My parents agreed that together, they could make the changes needed and try again. My mom spent hours in front of the computer re-typing everything and getting it ready for my dad to go back through and do what needed to be done. The last word was typed, the thumb drive was inserted, the transfer took place, and the changes were made. Finally, the book was finished.

My dad chose WestBow Press to be the potential publisher. The copy was sent and we nervously awaited their response. They were going to publish my daddy's book. :)

After months and months of getting things exactly right, it's finally for sale!

There is Hope: And Other Lessons Learned by a Christian Cop. Where most books have chapters, this book has lessons. Lessons my dad has learned through his years of being a Norfolk Police Officer. Some will make you laugh, some will make you cry, some will make you think, but you won't regret reading any of them.

I'm so beyond proud of my dad for coming back and finishing this book. I know it's going to be {and has already been} such a blessing to so many people. If you ever feel like things are too far for healing and there's no light at the end of the tunnel, always remember that There is Hope.

If you're interested, my dad's having a book signing at Barnes and Noble in MacArthur Mall this Saturday {May 5th} from 1pm - 4pm. If you're free, come on by! If you want to see a little more about the book, you can go here. :)
