I must direct you attention to a book. Renee Altson’s first book, Stumbling Toward Faith, is being released next month, and I must commend it to all who drop by here. Hers is a story that you should hear.

Renee blogs at ianua.org, and as the Latin implies, the blog and the book are open doors into her life, a life that has endured more than its share of pain and abuse. (I didn’t actually remember the Latin from high school; Renee clued me in.) I received an advanced copy earlier this week, and if I can get it out of my wife’s hands and have a look for myself, I’ll try to share a few tidbits with you.

Throughout September, Renee will embark on a Virtual Book Tour, dropping by a number of blogs to speak about the book and the story the fills its pages. (She’ll be visiting me on the 3rd, so mark your calendars!) In the meantime, here are a few links for you to check out:

• The official Stumbling Toward Faith website
• The official Stumbling Toward Faith Virtual Book schedule.
• A PDF sample of the book.
