Today is my birthday, and I wanted to take a moment out of our regularly scheduled blog 
content to thank my wife and friends for the birthday book launch they sponsored for my new book, Pieces of Heaven: Recognizing the Presence of God. They asked friends to help celebrate my birthday and the release of the book by doing one thing, such as:
• Buy the book for themselves or a friend
• Post a review of the book on Amazon.com
• Review or mention the book on their blog, Facebook page or elsewhere.
I have heard from many friends over the past week telling me of things they have done, and I am very grateful. The book has spread to places it never would have reached otherwise. It makes me wish all my books had released around the time of my birthday! If you would like to get involved, it is not too late!
Here is the Amazon page about Pieces of Heaven:

Here is a video interview that Alton Gansky did with me about the book a couple weeks ago for his Writer’s Talk video series:
Thanks you again for your encouragement and support.

Happy Birthday to You! I am giving a copy of Joe’s book to people in my small group at church (just three couples–I said “small” group. We have just finished a book by Richard Peace called Noticing God (IVP Press, 2011). Not everyone was delighted with what they read in Peace’s book. I told them, “My friend has just written a book that is better. READ IT.” I’ll let you know what they think.

Thanks for your encouragement.
(Hi Emily!) I also purchased the book for a friend, and I know she will love it. I especially liked the parts about finding the Holy Presence in the world of nature, and my devotional time has been enriched by reading a few pages of the book each morning.
