Can I enlist your support for my new book?

Published: Thu, 06/17/21

Dear

I’m delighted to let you know that my new book Extraordinary Awakenings: When Trauma Leads to Transformation will be published in September (towards the beginning of the month in the US and towards the end in the UK).

I’m sure you’re familiar with the book from my previous newsletters. I think it’s the most inspiring and powerful book I’ve written, with some incredible of spiritual awakening amongst soldiers, prisoners, addicts, bereaved people, people who attempted suicide, and so on. At the same time the book explores the meaning of these transformative experiences and provides principles readers can apply to their own spiritual development, like releasing psychological attachments, facing and contemplating mortality, and responding to suffering with an attitude of acknowledgment and acceptance.

As you may know suppose, publishers have strategies for drawing readers to books, which is fortunate for someone like me who’s generally averse to self-promotion! So, I’m working with my publisher, New World Library, to create what they call a “launch team” for the book — a couple hundred people who are willing to pre-order the book and post reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. Writing reviews close to the publication date and spreading the word about the book are so helpful in getting it into the field of awareness of those who might benefit from it.

If you join the team, you will be among the first people to read the book via a free sneak peek advance PDF copy that my publisher will provide in advance of the pub date.

Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Pre-order a print copy of the book from Amazon as soon as possible. If you're in the US it's: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1608687678/

In the UK, it's https://www.amazon.co.uk//dp/1608687678/

In Australia, it's https://www.bookdepository.com/Extraordinary-Awakenings-Steve-Taylor/9781608687671

If you're in any other country, simply use your usual bookseller.

Step 2: Sign-up to be on the “launch team” by the end of the day July 2nd. To sign up, just hit “reply” to this email and provide the following:

•   your name and the country you live in
•   the email address where we can contact you
•   your receipt or order number from Amazon

Step 3: Receive the advance PDF copy of the book that my publisher will email to you in mid July.

Step 4: Read the PDF of the book.

Step 5: Post a review of the book on Amazon.com and Goodreads.com. When you receive the PDF copy my publisher will give you a specific date range sometime after the publication date of Tuesday September 7th in the US and Tuesday October 7th in the UK to post your review based on the first initial of your last name.

Thanks so much for your support!

Steve
