PTL (Praise the Lord)!
… a year ago in May 2024, The God Layer: Faith Lessons in Real Estate was published. The goal of the book is to encourage and inspire real estate professionals—agents, brokers, coordinators, loan and escrow officers—through the ups, downs, and sideways things that happen to us in our work life. Many of my friends who aren’t in the business have told me there are good stories and practical encouragement for anyone, especially if you are in a relational business or your income fluctuates.
It took over two years and lots of prayer to write, get feedback, edit, proofread, and learn the publishing process. You can read several reviews on my Author website including an excerpt from the Foreword by Glenn Kelman, CEO of Redfin. All thanks go to God as I hear from readers who tell me they’ve been encouraged and helped by the practical topics covered. Thank you to those who have read, supported, and gifted the book! Several brokers bought dozens of copies to give away to their agents. PTL!
To celebrate the one-year anniversary, I’m offering 50% off the price = $12 (plus shipping) through the end of May - no limit! This offer is only available from my distributor’s site, click here: JPLBooks.com. Be sure to enter discount code PTL at checkout. Your purchase will also help reduce my monthly costs to store book inventory!
90% of the book profits are going to two non-profits on O’ahu I love to support: The River of Life Mission and their homeless outreach, and The Makaha Community Center. In the first year of sales, For the Good Publishing was able to donate $700 to each group—God is so faithful!
Soliciting readers for my second book manuscript
I am almost done with the manuscript of my second book: Faith Lessons for Home Buyers and Sellers. It will be another book of encouragement, this time for those going through the many ups and downs of a purchase or sale.
I’m looking for a few volunteer readers—especially if you are currently or recently a buyer or seller. Please reach out if you would like to read the first draft manuscript and give me feedback! You can read the entire draft, or choose just the buyer or seller portion; each half has about 25 short chapters. You can take a couple of months to review.
Please take a quick, 1-question survey
Lastly, I have had friends ask if The God Layer is available as an e-book or audio book. I am considering offering it in another format other than hardback. The survey is quick: only 1 multiple choice question. Take care and God bless you! —Ali
