Canaan Sleeps is only the beginning.
It is the first book in a set called the “World Without End” series. The second book, Eden Wakes, is currently being created!
The plan is to expand the story of Canaan Sleeps beyond Shiloh and out into the wild and dangerous world as the characters face challenges from without and from within the Third Way movement.
Eden Wakes is already being written, all I need is financial backing to publish it and make book two, Eden Wakes, a reality!
Book 2: Eden Wakes Will Be Crowd Funded
The Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign hasn’t been set up just yet for book two, but after seeing all the support I received for the first book, I have confidence we will get there.
Writing, editing, releasing, and promoting a book is not a simple business, and as I learned with this last book, it ain’t cheap either.
I also learned through writing Canaan Sleeps that these books are valuable. They deserve a chance to challenge young people’s preconceptions about church, country, and what it looks like to follow Jesus with all our hearts.
I sincerely believe these books will make a lasting difference in the world, and I hope you do too.
