The Vow

1.05.08
My new book, The Vow: How a Forgotten Ancient Practice Can Transform Your Life was release just a few days ago (January 2nd).

About six years ago I noticed this little path of vowing as I was casually reading the book of Acts. It turns out that vow-making is an old trail that was very familiar to the ancients who have gone before us, but is virtually unknown for we moderns. And it was a path that many used to put a shot of Tabasco sauce into their faith.

As I have wandered down this path, it has been both intriguing and empowering, and, on another level, just plain dangerous. But I really think it's leading somewhere. That's the why of this writing. My journey into vow-making began with a boatload of questions and I still have a bunch - but I think that's OK. I think there is lots of fodder in my book for some great, worthwhile conversation.

Please grab a copy, give it a read and send me a note about what you thought!
