I'm so excited about this post- AND GIVEAWAY

This is just so exciting for me! I have been waiting to get a chance to share this with all my blogger friends. You all have celebrated with me in my engagement and wedding and all the fun details of my life since I entered this wonderful world of blogging. And now I get you to celebrate in THIS with me- MY DAD WROTE A BOOK! It is finally available for purchase. It should be in the bookstores within the next few days, but is available on Amazon currently. Wahhhoooo! Hope you enjoy it!
“What if there was a place so safe that the very worst of me could be known and I would discover that I would not be loved less but more in the telling of it?”

That’s the promise and hope of our new fiction novel, “Bo’s Cafe”.

Amy called me the other day and said, “Dad, you should write a guest blog on my site about your new book.” I said, “Really? That would be so cool. I’d be honored.”
So, I’m the dad who married this really wonderful girl to Danny Reid. And I’m one of the authors of a new fiction book “Bo’s Café”. It’s in most bookstores after September 25th. I’m like a little kid waiting for it to show up on a table at Walmart or Barnes and Noble! I think I’ll pick it up and yell, to no one in particular, “Hey, this is my book. Right here on this table, I’m telling you!”
It’s a novel about grace; about how we can learn to allow others to love and protect us as we stumble. It’s a book about regaining trust after its been shattered. It’s a story of a strained marriage, and a 34 year-old angry and resentful husband, Steven. He has everything going for him, but some days can’t make it home without sitting for hours in the parking lot of a Southern California neighborhood restaurant from his youth. He can’t face his own daily life and can’t figure out why. One day he runs into an eccentric, scruffy and mysterious older man, Andy, at that restaurant. Andy proudly drives a 1970 Buick Electra convertible and offers to drive Steven around to help sort out his unraveling life.
After an ugly argument, Lindsey demands her husband to move out. So Steven starts an extended stay at a Marriott in El Segundo and finally calls Andy to take him up on the offer of rides in the Electra. Soon Steven is introduced to the “deck crowd” at Bo’s Café, a Cajun restaurant on the beach between Marina Del Rey and Venice. He meets a world of authenticity and grace-filled vulnerability he’s never before experienced. God is working in Steven. But change won’t happen overnight. It all gets uglier before it gets better. Steven will have to learn to trust some others with him-something he’s never done before. But eventually, grace wins. And Steven and Lindsey discover a redemption, restoration and forgiveness in their relationship they never thought possible.
This is a book that models and reveals how trusted grace and love can irrevocably change the course of an entire community. It is full of humor and fun amidst the pain and hurt. I can’t wait for you to read it. I think you’ll love it and enter into its hope for your life and those you love.

Thanks Amy for letting me speak to your dear friends on here. I’m so proud of you. I can’t believe I get to be your dad.
