A big congratulation to our winners: You’ll receive a separate email with prize details. And, yet another big thank you to everyone who participated in The Joy Refuge.
The impact of your generosity is already blooming. This morning, a couple who took part in the Joy Refuge forwarded me a note. They shared their copy of Longing for Joy with a friend, who wrote to them:
I had to jump in and tell you how much I am being impacted by Longing for Joy! I bought my own copy because I HAD TO highlight so many lines. Your copy is safe and unmarked! Talk more when I'm done it. But thanks for sharing it with me.
This ripple effect is exactly why we do this work together. Your support through pre-orders, reviews, and social shares has been incredible. For those still planning to write a review (cough—about half of our Joy Refuge community—cough), there’s still time to help the book reach more readers. Rather than feel guilty for not following through yet, take that step today—or soon, please! Every review makes a difference, no matter how brief.
Thank you for being part of this journey to help others discover the possibility of joy.
OH! One more thing—I’m trying to keep the momentum going. If you have thoughts about how I could promote my book, connections to speaking events or podcasts, or random ideas, please leave a comment. I’m all ears!
With gratitude,
Alastair
Congrats to the winners. Re promoting the book - have you sent a copy to Tim Challies as he has a good following for new Christian books reviews.
