Yeah, the scary part of the first chapter is the, “if you have it, you could lose it” part. I think anyone that brags about having “it” should be weary of this “bad news.” Looking forward to reading the book!

Yea, I’m feelin this book for sure. I’m going to enjoy the discussions this book may begin. Can we play 20 questions on what “it” is?

Is “it” the same thing for every group?

WOW!! Can’t wait to get the book! If we knew you personally we’d ask for the “hook up” in getting an early copy. We are starting a church in the NW Austin area. Cedar Park, TX to be exact. We want to make sure we have “it”, use “it” and don’t loose “it. :) lol

We’ll forward this to our network of folks!

Craig, thanks for the tease! I’m really looking forward to this. It has the flavor of one of those books I can’t put down and end up devouring more than once. I pray the Lord continues to inspire you with such insight and creativity because you are so faithful to share!

Adam, Jill, David, and Rusty, So glad you liked the first chapter.

Jim and Kenyon, I am thrilled you are both excited about “it.” Hope it blesses you.

Blane, you asked when I write… I rarely write during church hours. Thankfully, I am a very fast writer (which doesn’t necessarily mean a great writer). When I’m doing a book project, I typically write before office hours and after the kids go to sleep. I also cheat and write on my days off. Unlike a lot of people, writing is fun for me.

Thanks for the preview. It really resonated with me as our church has recently lost it but are now in the process of finding it again. I really appreciate your honesty about lifechurch and the reality of the campus in which you teach. That is (for me) encouraging…not to be celebrating a percieved failure…not that your failing…I’ll…stop…talking…

Craig,
You and your church as a whole is great at marketing sermon series with teaser videos, promotional flyers, etc-and BOOKS! That free first chapter was awesome-I agree with everyone else, I do not want to wait!

I also had a question:
When do you write? (What I mean, is that, are your writing projects part of your “work” time at LifeChurch?)

Just curious becuase I want to start my first book, and am entering a new job in May and wondering how that works.

Thanks!

I’m looking forward to purchasing “It”! Thank you for being led by the Spirit and addressing topics that have been on our hearts as young pastors wanting to see God do something huge in our lifetime!

Craig,
You are killing me!! I just read the 1st chapter and I want to buy this book right now. I want to know what “It” is. Can’t wait!
