Once in a while it’s good to remember why we do what we do.
The whole point of BOUNCING BACK is to form a circle of folks who want to discuss what it looks like to live life on purpose as followers of Jesus. One of my big goals is to invite you into the circle.
This blog was never about generating income, which seems almost un-American as we celebrate Black Friday and Small Business Saturday.
However, I’ve discovered an important fact. When you write a book and you believe in its message, you need help to share that message. Books in boxes don’t help people.
So, in the madness that surrounds holiday shopping, we invite you to consider these opportunities to help us spread the word.

Give signed copies of either book as gifts. They’re great stocking-stuffers.
I’ll bet you know someone who’d appreciate an inspirational story about following a dream, overcoming adversity, and moving forward with God’s message of hope and possibility.

Become a book benefactor.
Those who might benefit most from Rich’s books are often least able to purchase them. You can sponsor distribution of these encouraging, inspiring books to clients at speaking events in drug rehab programs, homeless shelters, disability support groups, disabled veterans, and detention centers.
A while back I spoke to inmates at our county jail. A local business bought books for each inmate, and I’ll never forget the impact a hand-signed book and a handshake seemed to make on those folks. What I didn’t think about was that books tend to have a life of their own, and you never know whose hands they’ll find their way into.
I returned to the same jail a couple of years later and a guy walked up with this tattered old copy of Relentless Grace. Somebody handed it to him the first day he arrived…he wanted me to know how much it helped, how much of a difference it made. I couldn’t help wondering how many hands that book passed through before it reached this man, how many lives it touched. And I wondered about the impact of all the other books we handed out due to one person’s generosity.
