And her character(s) who are also "real" and easy to relate to! I'm SO looking forward to reading this new book! I'm in Manila, Philippines, on a short-term mission assignment with my husband, but I'm going to look for your book as soon as we return to the States! I rely on She Reads to give me great information about the books I want to read! Thanks!

YA is really hot right now, and you're right--there is a lot of scary YA out there. I think you just have to write what's on your heart or where your led ministry-wise (even if that's in secular lit). Lynn--Cereal City? That sounds like HEAVEN. I would never leave. Meg, don't you love it when things line up like that? When God reinforces his message? Linda, I love the book Roots of Rejection by Joyce Meyer and I'm hearing great things about So Long, Insecurity by Beth Moore. Fear of rejection is the enemy knowing you have this amazing, purpose-filled life and doing all he can to squelch it. Check out those books and pray scripture out loud concerning fear when those thoughts come up. Make 2010 your year o f "yes!" Danielle, that makes two of us. I'm hoping 2010 is a braver year for all of us. Terri, I don’t know that either genre is easier to get into. YA is really hot right now, and you’re right–there is a lot of scary YA out there.

I am often afraid to share my faith with others because of a fear of rejection ( fear that people will think I'm weird or a religious fanatic) I also fear rejection from the opposite sex. If I am in a dating relationship I fear that it will end and that the other person doesn't really love me as much as I love them.

Yesterday's message at church was about putting out into the deep, so it is fitting that Peter is getting out of the boat today! I wept-embarassingly! Having that kind off blind trust in the Lord and His plan for me is where I need to focus my attention-though it is hard in our current situation. Thank you for your words of encouragement-they spoke to my heart. Meg Thanks, Jenny, for your insight about fear.

Since you love cereal and travel, I'm hoping we can lure you here for a book club discussion or ladies day. I loved your humorous thoughts from your flight and cannot wait to read your book. LOL books are so refreshing and rare. I'm surfing around looking for your website to find out about trying to bring you here for a visit.

I will be looking for her books. My question is, if someone is starting out, is it easier to break into YA, or adult fiction? Back when I took adolescent lit in college, a great need existed. Now when I go to the bookstore, or even the scholastic book fair at my kids' school, I am appalled at some of the choices out there for kid. Thanks for She Reads!!! Blessings!
