Ahh, Praise God!

There are two website like people who are doing things similar to myself and are willing to let me use the testimonies they have collected for my book.  One of them is precious-testimonies.com.  I can use any of their testimonies that they have signed consent forms on, which makes sense.  Ages and countries will be hard to find, and many of them have passed, but I am blesssed.  Then I got the permission from a woman who helps write a blog called Free and Holy.  She has four testimonies at the moment.  She said I just needed the permission of those people and I could use them, so I sent out emails today.

For those of you in the dark, this summer I started writing books.  Four were poetry books, and three of them are online right now but all are written.  Two of them are personal story books, which are in an Our Stories series.  The last book is a devotional I am currently working on.  It is about the worries that I feel like myself and others around my age struggle with: finances, purity, singleness/becoming a spouse for marriage, general worries, following God's direction, loving others, and loving oneself.  It could technically be for anyone, but the whole mawwage/purity section is directed at those who aren't married and all and finances may be too old for youngins.

PRAYER REQUESTS/CALL OUT

If you feel led to contribute a love story of your testimony (how you came to God, your life story with Him, a time that God was just so, so awesome with His power and love with you or someone) please talk to me.  Below is more information on these books if you feel interested:

1. Our Stories: Clears Away Tears

This book is a devotional surrounded around people's Christian testimonies.  It has journal room and meditational questions at the end of each week/chapter.  This is the biggest calling I felt on God through writing.  The purpose of this devotional is to help believers and nonbelievers alike.  For believers, it reminds us of God's awesome power and love, it helps us feel united as a Christian body.  There is just so much power and wonder in people's testimonies.  And then for nonbelievers, it shows them why people believe in God, that God has power and such love for sinners, and hopefully help lead them to God.  

2. Our Stories: Working Toward a Love that Lasts

This book is a collection of love stories from people who have been dating for long, long time, are engaged, or are married.  The purpose of it is for inspiration and encouragment.  We live in a world where there's lots and lots of heartache.  There is about a 40-50% change of getting divorced nowadays.  Living in this world makes it feel like it's nearly impossible to have a happy, long-lasting marriage.  This book is to show it is possible for those who have fears, worry, or doubts.

These books will be sold on lulu.com (the self-publishing website) as a paperback and an ebook, as a kindle on Amazon.com, on nook at barnesandnoble.com, at GooglePlay, and, I believe, the ibookstore.  I am selling them because I see that they can be seen by so many people through these venues.  I want a lot of people to be able to see and be inspired and encouraged and just grow through these books.

If you have any questions or a slight interest, please send me a note or comment or anything ^.^

Hey Heather, I would love to talk to you and perhaps give you a piece of my testimony to see if it is something you might be looking for. Perhaps we can skype sometime. My e-mail is kyle.stinnett.wr2013@gmail.com. Just shoot me an e-mail and we'll go from there. Good luck! ~ Kyle Stinnett
