My New Book - The Cost Of The Disconnect

It probably goes without saying that having your first book published is a pretty cool moment in time. Not the coolest moment in time, but it certainly ranks up there somewhere on the top 10 or 15 things I can think of.

This past weekend Julie and our kids and I went to my brothers ranch in Florida for a few days to enjoy Spring Break. While there, we swam with the camels, camped out in the coolest Moroccan tent in the world, and.....hunted alligator. And I must say, taking a small boat back into a dark, gator infested swamp was amazing. Words fall short to describe that experience. Two days later, I have some pretty wicked pictures, a freezer full of gator meat, and some incredible memories of that night. Something my boys and I will remember long into old age.

But the book is different. It'll be around forever. Well, technically speaking, the Word of God will last forever. But, as long as non-canonical books are around, my book will be around. And there's something pretty special about that. I wrote this book about Biblical discipleship because it's what my heart beats for. And it has since I first made the decision to run hard after Jesus. For the past 22 years, God has graciously allowed me to be discipled by some incredible men. And I've had the awesome opportunity to disciple some pretty awesome guys myself.

I love God's Word. And I never cease to be fascinated, as I read through Scripture, with the high cost that Jesus attaches to His call on our lives. And I love helping people understand what all that looks like. My intention was to do that in the book.

My deep and earnest prayer is that I succeeded and that God will speak to His bride clearly through the pages of this work. You can decide for yourself. THE COST OF THE DISCONNECT can be ordered from our website at www.2911.org The retail price is $15.99 plus $4.00 shipping. If you live outside the US, shipping rates are different. Please email me at dirk@2911.org for international shipping rates.

I hope you'll consider ordering a copy or two. I also hope you'll consider buying a copy for your pastor(s). We really do believe that the message of the book is one the church needs to hear. She may not want to hear it, but she needs to hear it. IF the church is ever going to be radically and passionately faithful to God's Word and IF we're going to be used by God to make disciples of the nations, I believe the message in my book is crucial.

Please join us in praying that God will use The Cost Of The Disconnect far beyond anything we could ask for, think of, or even imagine. All for the sake of His name among the nations.
