I am deliriously happy to announce that our book project for the nursing home ministry is finally finished! After six months of writing and almost another six of editing and rewriting, the eBook edition is now live on Amazon! I am so excited. The book of Proverbs tells us that:
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life. Proverbs 13:12 NKJV
Hope deferred has been exactly my experience, since I began this project last summer. I was hoping to have the book done by Christmas. But that hope was deferred time and time again, but I am humbly grateful that here in August we are finally done! Yay!! One thing I have learned is that this project has been a team effort – and working as a team, needed far more time and patience than I had originally scheduled. My wife did some of the first edits, followed by my good friend Rob Keller who also designed the cover. After I trudged through their corrections, it was nearly Thanksgiving, and I handed the manuscript over to Sue Hyson for a more detailed edit. The final edit and formatting of the manuscript was done by our daughter-in-law’s brother, Winston Crutchfield who not only edited but also fixed my formatting mistakes and improved the older photos as much as possible. These people have selflessly given of their time for one reason – and that is to tell you the story of our many friends in long-term care. Though it is my hope that “Walking With Lambs” will prompt more people to take action in practical ways, I believe you can also just enjoy getting to know some of the wonderful stories of friends whom I have made over thirty-five years in nursing home ministry. Their stories have taught me more about life than everything I learned in college and Bible school combined! If you would like to check out the eBook version, the link is here

The print edition should be out next week for those of you like me, who like to hold their books in their hands.
How exciting! Congratulations!
Congratulations, Pastor Pete! 😀
Thank you. It is definitely the combined efforts of many people who came alongside to help. I can’t wait till the print version comes out (next week I think).
It’s such a thrill to open up the box and see YOUR BOOK! 😀 Enjoy!
Thank you so much!
Congratulations, Pastor Pete! I pray the God of the harvest multiple the seeds you’ve sown through this work 100 fold.
Thank you so much Manette. My greatest prayer is for God to use this simple book to multiply workers for His harvest field.
Congratulations Pastor Pete!
Thank you Beth
