Oh! I am so excited to hear you will be having another book come back! I so love reading your works! I've even started reading TLATS again… for the fourth time. I just love it and it is such an encouragement for my Walk with the Lord!

I can't wait for your new book and gonna promote it when it does come out!
blessings,

Wonderful news! I look forward to reading both books.
I'll be interested to see how you interpret the prodigal son story. I can't help wondering what happened next. I mean, life can't have been easy for him, living with his Dad and that understandably irritated older brother. He must have been tempted to save up his money and try the big city again, knowing he could always come home.
I'm not just being cynical. I would describe my life as a constant running away from God and crawling back again. It doesn't just happen once. (Although, err.. maybe some of us take longer to get the message)
Good luck with the new novel – I can't wait to read it!

"I can’t help but also wonder whether the very elusive nature of words means that sometimes they have to be supplemented with actions to make them unambiguous."
I think that's absolutely true. It can be hard sometimes to know what someone means unless you can see it. If all you have to go on is words, without a definite look in the person's eyes or something in their tone of voice or some kind of action to demonstrate what they're saying, it can be confusing.
I'm reminded of a quote from an online friend of mine (appropriately enough): "The Internet is a great way to get people to misinterpret your words 50 different ways."

Hope things work out for your new book! I'd love to be able to read it.
