Hey friends happy January 30th today's a fun day for me because it is the one year birthday of my book.

If you only knew my unlikely unavoidable story becoming free. I released this book because I wanted to use my story to point all of you to Jesus.

I believe stories change the world. I believe we all have stories. I believe that when we proclaim our stories and what we've been through and things that have happened in our life that we get to show people Jesus.

We get to point to him the one who is the writer and the creator of our stories and so.

I've had such a great year talking about this book with you guys my favorite thing is to hear from you guys about what you loved about the book and what guys showed you about your own life through the book so happy birthday if you only knew right now I'm going to have a little birthday special for the whole month of February my book is going to be on sale on my web page for $10 you can go find it there at Jamie ivy dot com slash store.
