Hey everyone,
I wanted to share something special with you!
I’ve signed with InterVarsity Press to publish my first full-length book, Dwelling in Christ: Discover the Threefold Path of Spiritual Transformation.
It’s scheduled to release on Sept 1, 2026.
I’m both thrilled and humbled to be partnering with IVP. This moment comes after years of learning, waiting, and grace—a journey of its own that’s shaped both me and the message of this book. More on that in the days to come!
This book has grown out of nine years of writing, teaching, and living into the question:
How do I move from transactional belief to a more transformational life in Christ?
The heart of the book is simple. The Christian tradition tells us there’s a steady path—a way of transformation that moves through three stages:
Purgation. Illumination. Union.
Each stage marks a phase in our growth into Christ’s likeness, with its own patterns, challenges, and graces. Each is also a unique way of being with him—a distinct mode of dwelling in Christ. Recognizing this has been a gift, offering me direction without being prescriptive—form without being formulaic.
My hope is to recover that path for people today. Not as an idea, but as a way of living with God—steady, relational, and grace-empowered.
Between now and the release, I’ll be sharing some of the journey here—what it looks like to bring a book like this into the world. Here’s what to expect:
Glimpses inside the publishing process
Early looks at the cover design
Pre-order details and special bonuses for early readers
An invitation to join the launch group when it opens
Opportunities to receive free signed copies
Thanks for reading and encouraging me all these years. Every note, share, and kind word has kept me writing!
Here’s to the long work of dwelling in Christ—together.
