Letters to Grief Named ECPA 2025 Christian Book Award Finalist

The back story:

I first pitched this book to a publishing professional at a Christian writing conference in October 2015. He really liked the writing and premise, but said their house wasn’t publishing gift books at the time.

Nearly seven years later, in January 2022, that same person emailed me to say he was now working with a different publisher specializing in gift books and asked if they could buy Letters to Grief.

I signed the contract a month later, the book was published in February 2024, and this past week, I learned that it has been named a finalist for the ​ECPA 2025 Christian Book Award​ — nearly TEN years after I first pitched the idea!

I share all of this to say don’t give up!

With God’s help and enabling, continue to be faithful to the work He has called you to do. You never know what may happen . . . (or how long it might take)!

And to all who have known grief: I pray that the God of all Comfort would use the words in ​this collection of letters to grief​ to give you a measure of comfort and hope in the midst of your loss.
