I have book news! But first, a smidge of background...
In 2017, my book Free to Lean: Making Peace with Your Lopsided Life released from Discovery House (now Our Daily Bread Ministries). This was the nonfiction book of my heart, the one in which I metaphorically link arms with you and we talk about what it means to live an unbalanced life. (Hint: Not only is it OK to not do it all, it's biblical to focus on priorities for a given season.) It went out of print a few years later, which was much too early in my opinion.
And so, over the last several months, I formed my own independent publishing company called Prairie Lantern Press, learned how to format the interior of a book, and hired the very talented Hannah Linder as my book cover designer, all so I can finally re-release Free to Lean. This second edition has the same content as the first with the addition of a brief preface. It releases March 26 in paperback and ebook, and is available for pre-order now! As soon as I can this spring, I'll also release the audiobook format, which I am narrating myself.
Here's the book description:
Do you feel like you have a lopsided life? Good. You're normal! Instead of constantly trying to "fix" our lives by achieving some perfect balance that doesn't exist, let's dump the guilt and admit that we need to lean into God. His perfect plan for us includes seasons of life when we may be more focused on caring for our children or our elderly parents, working for pay, or volunteering at church. Free to Lean gives you permission to recognize the season you're in and live in harmony with it.
Free to Lean will help you to:
- Stop feeling "less than" for not being able to do more
- Shed the burden of other people's expectations
- Find ways to prioritize and order your life
- Learn to recognize the various seasons in each of our lives
- Develop the five pillars even the unbalanced woman must lean upon
- Grow in your confidence of God's plans for your life
So grab your cup of coffee and copy of Free to Lean. Stop feeling guilty about not "doing it all," and refocus your thoughts on leaning into Jesus. Allow Him to make your lopsided life complete.
