The Ultimate Happily Ever After: A Miscellany of Guest Posts and Interviews
This spring and summer, I had the privilege of partnering with several organizations, writing guest posts and conducting radio and podcast interviews, as well as a full-studio interview that aired on television.
Many of the opportunities were related to the release of my new book, The Restoration of All Things: How the Promise of Christ’s Return Brings Us Comfort Today. In fact, I held a few “Return of Christ” seminars. I don’t have any audio or video from them, but they were so much fun. I affectionately called this my multi-state book tour. It had two stops, and one of the stops was at my own church. I’m hoping someone in Canada will invite me to speak. I’ll gladly go and gladly start advertising my “international book tour.”
But several of the partnerships weren’t about the book, such as the radio interview with Kathy Emmons, which I found delightful. That interview focused on an article I wrote for Christianity Today four years ago. For some reason, CT started resharing it, and it blew up, getting over 50k page views in August. I got a bunch of emails about it. Also, there’s a guest article on Desiring God about the pain of adultery.
I tend not to share these guest posts and interviews on my blog, at least not individually, but I thought the end of the summer would be a good time to group them together in case others might enjoy them.
Thank you to everyone who read and reviewed my book. If you read it, please leave a short Amazon review (here). It really helps. It only takes about five minutes. I’m currently at 37 reviews and really want to get over 50.
Thanks,
Benjamin
