Book Goal #1: Accomplished

Almost a year ago I posted about my desire to write a book. I wasn’t joking.

My goal was to have the “guts” of the book done by early June. I accomplished that goal at about 1AM this morning as I finished what initially is the last chapter of Tap Out: Beating the Sin that Beats You (tentatively titled, of course).

I wanted to write a short, little book that I felt addressed a need overlooked by many Christians when it comes to dealing with sin. It is an expansion of a series I taught many months ago that was very well received by our congregation.
