~~~ Notes from Minnesota ~~~

Hey Freelancer,

Every now and again, I have the incredible opportunity to work on what I call a “passion project.” This project generally falls outside our established publishing niches, but it’s something near and dear to my heart, something I cannot put down.

Now, before you read on, I should note I’m about to discuss something deeply personal. If you get uncomfortable when it comes to discussing matters of faith, you may want to scroll to our awesome feature article. It’s by the magnificent Bob Bly! Consider yourself warned…

Lately, I’ve been chagrined to observe how the faith of my youth has transformed into something I don’t exactly recognize. Deep truths have been transformed into trite sound bites peppering the walls of big box retail stores. Complex Biblical passages are cited without context. Many folks appear to be somewhat unaware of what the Holy Bible actually says.

So, I figured I’d do my little bit to change that.

I, and my fabulous Filbert Publishing team, created what we call a “Consecrated Journal.” It’s a small Bible, no commentary with super wide margins, a perfect place to journal, doodle, study without feeling like you’re studying.

The first in this series is done and number two is ready for release very soon.

If you’re a person of faith, I hope you’ll check out this poignant series. (Plus, I made a fast one minute video to show how it works!)

I probably won’t mention this project much here, but considering how pleased I am with how this is unfolding, I figured it merited a mention. Peruse this beautiful volume here (plus, check out my one minute vid!) Ignore my messy desk, classy paper weight, and the strange black square blocking a credit card laying next to the book. Good grief! I need to work on my video-making game!

‘Til next time,

Beth 🙂

Heck, it’s only 4.99 a month, the price of a mocha.

Freelancing is ever evolving… unrecognizable from when I began during the Internet stone ages.

So… let’s untangle these crazy, all important topics. We’ll gossip (just a little). Share the latest and greatest info. Perhaps we’ll have a little fun, too.
