Thank God for winter storms! This is my second new book this winter to be printed at Amazon Books.
The first one, which is finished and for sale, is for bishops, priests and deacons. It is called BUILDING INTENTIONAL PRESBYTERATES: A Collection of Reflections. This second one, which is also finished and for sale, is for lay people as well as priests. It is entitled FOR YOUR GOOD AND FOR MINE: Preaching, Teaching & Writing.
What I have done in these two books is to take some of my unpublished presentations, convocations, lectures, retreats, parish missions, blog posts and published articles and put them into books as well - one mainly for the clergy and one mainly for lay people.
I realized recently that my days of traveling and doing priest convocations and parish missions is probably behind me. Instead of trashing all the material that took me years to develop, I decided to make it available to people who have never heard it, or might want to review it, in book form.
This effort frees me up to write new material and take on new projects going forward. I consider it much like tying a ribbon around an era of my past to preserve it, while freeing me up to pursue some new creative efforts in the near future.
These books, along with all my previous books, can now be purchased from Amazon Books through a link to my bookstore at ronknottbooks.com
