Will you Join the Holy Leisure Launch Team? 📖♥

Published 4 months ago • 2 min read

Will you help me launch The Pursuit of Holy Leisure?

Reader,

After years of writing, praying, revising, and dreaming, my book The Pursuit of Holy Leisure: Enjoying God in Everyday Places is finally about to be released! This is such an exciting time, but the work is not finished yet!

I’m forming a small Launch Team of early readers who believe in this book's message of enjoying God and pursuing holy leisure with him, and who will help launch this book into the world.

What is a Launch Team?​
A Launch Team is a group of early readers who will join me in promoting this book to their networks and have a lot of fun doing it!

What you’ll receive if you join:

  • Early access to the book – You’ll receive an advance digital copy to read before the book officially releases.
  • Private Facebook community – You'll be invited to join a private group on Facebook, where I’ll share personal updates, stories, prayer requests, and launch details with the team.
  • Prizes and giveaways – I’ll be giving away fun gifts throughout the launch season to thank you for your support.
  • Community + encouragement – You’ll be part of a group of readers who care about delighting in God's Word and growing in their union with Christ together.

What you’ll do as part of the team:​
​

  • Read the advance copy (be sure you're ok reading on your book or iPad!)
  • Leave a 5-star review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐when the book releases on Goodreads and Amazon
  • Share on social media and with your friends who would enjoy the message of holy leisure
  • Pray for this book and the message to reach the people who need it

More than anything, this book is about advancing a gospel-centered message: that we don’t have to earn God's approval by good attendance in his Word, but that we can enjoy him through the practice of holy leisure in every area of our lives.

If the message of The Pursuit of Holy Leisure has resonated with you already, I would be honored to have you on the team.

It's as easy as 1-2-3 to join...

  1. The first step is to pre-order the book here.​
  2. The second step is to join the team here.
  3. The third step is to join the private Facebook group (link provided in step 2)

Thank you for walking this journey with me.

Your support and prayers mean more than I can say, and I can’t wait to share this season with you.

With gratitude,

Cara

Class of 2026: Timeless Truths in an Age of Brain Rot

Hail to the conquering graduates! Reader, Next week, my daughter graduates from high school. (How can it be?) I wanted to mark this milestone by leaving her and the other 2026 graduates with some timeless wisdom from God's Word. If you've heard teenagers talking lately, you might've thought you were hearing a foreign language. You weren't going crazy. It does sound like a foreign tongue sometimes, and it takes some context clues to figure out what they're saying. What you heard was likely...

The Most Important Doctrine You've Never Heard Of

This truth changes everything! Reader, This week, I taught at my church's women's Bible Study on 1 John, and we looked at 1 John 4:15. "Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God." The end of that verse reveals an often-overlooked doctrine. Inside those eight words are massive, life-changing, Bible-expanding, worship-producing truths. "God abides in him, and he in God." It just might be the most important doctrine you've never heard of. I hope you'll take...

How Holy Leisure Helps You See More Clearly

Are you spiritually nearsighted? Reader, If you've ever struggled to enjoy reading God's Word, or if it feels like a box you check before moving on with your day, you might be spiritually nearsighted. That's when you can see what's right in front of you, but everything in the distance is blurry. It means we move through the motions of devotion without the right heart posture. We "lose sight" of 'why' we go to God's Word in the first place. Holy leisure helps us refocus our attention on who...
