All Things New + New Podcast

In November of last year, I made a post here explaining that I'd be taking All Things New down from Amazon (both the digital and paperback versions). My purpose in doing this was to take some time to update the book, making some corrections to certain parts and removing others altogether. The goal was to release a second, more relevant version of the book to replace the original. However, as some of you may have noticed, although the Kindle (digital) version is no longer available, the paperback is still there. You may be wondering why!

Shortly after making that announcement last year, I realized that removing that book from my catalog would pose a problem for translators, many of whom are still working on their various language versions of All Things New to this day. By removing this book, it would essentially render whatever work they had done of the book so far obsolete. If, in turn, these non-English versions of All Things New were released, it would mean that foreign-language readers of the book would be actually experiencing a novel quite different from the newer English-language version, complicating things.

Another reason for leaving the paperback version of All Things New up is that by and large, the feedback I've gotten from that book has been positive. Most who read it (and again, I'm so grateful for your comments and continuing support) come away with exactly the reaction I was hoping for; namely, one of having their minds opened to new possibilities, and being excited for specific things in the New World.

Additionally, I'm trying out something new: a podcast! I've no idea if there will be any interest in something like this, but I've found that certain topics (like the one I've written about here), work better in the format of a podcast, where things are less formal and I can literally just talk directly to all of you. And so, for this first episode, I've taken the topic here and expanded a bit on it, adding some extra info that some of you might find interesting. So give it a look, and if it's something you enjoy, consider leaving a comment, a like, or possibly even subscribing to the channel. It's a fairly simple affair to produce these so I don't expect it to take up too much additional time and frankly it's kind of nice to have a new format to create in. Here's the first episode:

As always, thank you all so much for your kind support and readership!
