| Exciting news! My first book is being translated into Dutch, and the launch event is happening on May 7th at 7:30 PM in Bennekom, The Netherlands. While we know most of you are English-speaking and might be far away, we wanted to extend the invitation in case you’re nearby and would like to celebrate this milestone with us! If you plan to attend in person, please reply to this email so we know to expect you, and I will send you more details right away! For our wider network, we’re also exploring a Zoom link to join us online!If you’d like to tune in virtually, please reply to this email as well, so we can send you the link (it won’t be shared publicly). Some of you have asked me what the title will be for the Dutch translation. Still curious?… Join us online or in person to find out! Recently I was invited to be interviewed for a podcast about the heart behind this book, and in a few weeks there will be an interview on national television in The Netherlands as well. Scroll down for a note from my publisher. Looking forward to celebrating with you in some way! Have a good one, –Reinier. — Message from Gerhard Rijksen of Gideon Publishing: As a teenager, Reinier Blijleven decided that faith & traditions and Reinier were not a happy combination. As a twenty-something and fledgling believer, he was introduced to new faith traditions and began to see their value. Today, for example, an annual period of prayer and fasting is invariably part of his faith journey. In this book, he shares with you, the reader, what he discovered. Think of the book as a toolbox that you can use to give shape and content to your own period of prayer and fasting. Use the tools that suit you and leave the others quietly for perhaps another period. In any case, what you can expect from this book is that you will be challenged and inspired to forty days of prayer, fasting, Bible reading and giving. You will begin to experience how such a period can also strengthen your relationship with God. |
