Finding Love and Fighting Back

Our culture is so full of confused and harmful ideas about love that a lot of women and girls are looking for love in the wrong places. But there is a RIGHT place–a starting place for all real, authentic, life-changing love.

That’s what the book I put together two years ago, with contributions from multiple writers and poets, is all about. It’s called FIFTY SHADES OF LOVED, and it’s about finding true love (and rejecting its false counterpart) in a world of heartache.

Fifty Shades of LovedIn 2012 the hottest book of the year (in more ways than one) was an erotic novel called Fifty Shades of Grey.

This book is not about that one.

It is about many things Fifty Shades of Grey has women and girls thinking about. The essays, quotes, and poetry in this little book were written by women who share a central vision of who we are, of what it means to be female and what it means to be loved, that is rooted in faith in God.

FIFTY SHADES OF LOVED is coming to its final paperback form in the next two weeks. We’re just putting final touches on the cover (which will look almost like this one, but more suited for print), getting endorsements, and tweaking the interior.

At the same time, my good friend Josh Gilman has launched a Canadian initiative called Strength to Fight, with the goal of combating pornography in our homes, schools, and culture.

Strength to Fight is currently raising funds that will enable them to launch. They need to raise $20,000 by the end of this month. They’re more than a quarter of the way there–but there’s still a ways to go.

Because I believe so strongly in what they’re doing–and because I believe that you, my readers, are interested both in finding love and in fighting back–I want to use the FIFTY SHADES OF LOVED launch to raise money for Strength to Fight.

The proceeds of all paperback copies of FIFTY SHADES OF LOVED ordered HERE ONLY in the next week–January 7 through January 14–will be donated entirely to Strength to Fight.

Keep in mind that FIFTY SHADES OF LOVED is a great gift, so I’d encourage you to pick up more than one copy.

[THIS FUNDRAISER IS NOW OVER. THANKS TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATED!]
