My new book, Putting Joy into Practice: Seven Ways to Lift Your Spirit from the Early Church is set to release from Paraclete Press on April 16th. I’m floored by the wonderful reviews coming in from advance readers like this one, and I’m so excited for you to get this book in your hands to read it for yourself!
I have some wonderful pre-order bonuses for those who pre-order the book. There are bonuses for those who purchase one copy, and even more for those who purchase two or more! After you enter your information on the pre-order link, you will be emailed on April 16th all the information you need to claim your bonuses. The email will come from phoebe (at) beingincommunity.com, so please add me to your safe senders list.
Anyone who pre-orders one copy of the book will receive a free digital download, beautifully designed by Paraclete Press, of the “Seven Ways” to experience joy – a great reminder that you can print out and post anywhere. I colored printed mine and had it laminated.
In addition, those who pre-order the book will receive EXCLUSIVE coupon codes from the following online shops, an over $60 value:
25% off this beautiful hand-drawn bookmark by
Divine Designs on Etsy and exclusively designed for Putting Joy into Practice readers. See below to find out how to get one for free by purchasing two or more copies! The bookmark retails for $5, so the coupon is worth $1.25 off for each!
25% off a copy of this wonderful children’s book on joy, Philo, Rose, and the Joy SuperHoly by Mireille Mishriky. This is the third book in the popular SuperHolies series. You can read a review of this book on my blog here. The retail price is $10, so this coupon saves you $2.50!
50% off Forest in the Desert and/or Anastasis: The Harrowing of Hades by Creative Orthodox. I LOVE these two graphic novels – they are beautifully designed, uniquely illustrated, well researched and so engaging. I reviewed Antastasis here. Each book retails at $20, so this coupon saves you $20 if you buy both!
50% off the Spiritual Goals Mini Course from Coptic Dad & Mom! I signed up for this wonderful course last Fall at full price. It’s a five part series that includes worksheets and videos to help you set some personal spiritual goals, and it’s a great way to set some goals for putting some of the Seven Ways into practice. The course retails at $30, so this coupon saves you $15!
15% off a customizable gratitude journal (or any other notebook) from May Designs. That’s where I buy my gratitude journals. You can personalize the front with your name, initials, or any text that fits, and choose from many prints, sizes, and internal pages. A classic May Book retails for around $20, so this coupon saves you $3 on one notebook!
15% off any one item from the We the Copts store. My favorite is the Sacraments Quiet Book, an interactive touch and feel book about the sacraments that can be personalized, and new and exciting items are being added all the time. The Sacraments Quiet Book retails for $98.69, so this coupon saves you $14.80!
10% off any shirt from the Faith and Hand t-shirt shop, including these beautiful new Resurrection themed t-shirts with the hand-drawn words, “Truly He is Risen.” Premium T-shirts retail for $23.99, so this coupon saves you $2.39!
15% off any item from the OrthodoXes Etsy Shop, including this lovely baptismal cross in the Eastern Orthodox style. This cross costs $29, so this coupon saves you $4.35!
In addition to the above gifts, those who pre-order TWO OR MORE copies of the book will receive signed bookplates for each copy. This is a way to get a SIGNED BOOK without physically meeting me. I’ll mail you the bookplate and you affix it to your book.
Those who pre-order two or more copies will ALSO receive a 5×7 printed postcard, beautifully designed by Paraclete Press, of the Seven Ways, which can even be framed and given as a gift. I’ll mail this postcard along with your signed bookplates.
And on top of this, those who pre-order two or more copies will receive a FREE beautiful hand-drawn bookmark by Divine Designs on Etsy. These bookmarks were exclusively designed for Putting Joy into Practice. Check out the hyperlapse video of Mariam creating the bookmark here:
Signed bookplates, postcards, and bookmarks will be physically mailed to those who complete the pre-order bonus form after April 16th.
