I think it was simply word of mouth that made it a New York Timesbestseller for more than 60 weeks, over a year. People being moved and changed and transformed by the book [One Thousand Gifts] and wanting to share that with hurting people all around them.

I don't think of myself as an author. But simply as a grateful child of God. John 3:27 has long been a life verse: A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven. Any more words will only be solely a gift from Him. I can only faithfully wait.
