Spotted in the wild! Sharing some personal excitement (and fun).

Forgive me for one more post about my new book 'Transform your work life: Turn your ordinary day into an extraordinary calling'.
I just wanted to share a little piece of personal excitement (and family fun) with you!
Before today I had not seen a copy of the book in print! Yup, that's the truth! Naturally I had seen the digital proofs, but I had not seen a 'hard cover' copy of the book before today.
I had a meeting with a friend with whom I do some coaching - after the meeting I was walking past Wordsworth bookshop in the Somerset Mall when I thought 'I wonder if they have copies of my book on the shelf'. So, I walked up to the sales assistant and asked her. She had a look in her catalogue and sure as you know it, they had a few copies that had arrived just this morning!
So, I picked one up. I was grinning from ear to ear as she rung up my purchase. I was looking over the cover, checking the print quality (which is very good by the way! The book has a hard cover with a gloss colour printed interior!) I handed her my credit card and her eye caught my name, she looked at the book's cover and then asked 'Do you know the author?' I just smiled and said, 'yup, I've met him before'! ha ha! It was very cool.
Well, this evening Megie, Courtney, Liam and I went out for a burger to celebrate the new book and so we stopped in at another book shop (Exclusive Books in the Somerset Mall). I walked over to the Christian Books section and there it was! 'Transform your work life' spotted in the wild! So I quickly asked Courtney and Liam to stand in front of the shelf and I snuck a photo with my iPhone. Another cool memory - take a look at the blue cover just above Courtney's head in the attached photo.
Lastly, I wanted to mention that if you order a copy of the book from Christian Republic you will receive a free leather bound journal! I'm not sure how long this promotion lasts, so don't miss out! The price is the same (R109.00, plus R20 counter to counter overnight shipping).
Once you've bought your copy please leave me some feedback on the book. You can either do so on the discussion section on this blog, or you can join the 'Transform your work life' facebook page.
God bless you! Please join me in praying that this book will offer encouragement, inspiration and fresh perspectives to Christians in their work life.

Congratulations! I really hope that many are helped to integrate faith and work through your and Graham's words. Trevor
Hey Trevor,
Thanks so much! It is a special feeling! Your copy should be on its way already (or posted soon). Thank you so much for your kind endorsement!!! It means the world!
Hope you're well?

Congrats Dion (and Graham!). As a Christian who serves God in the 'marketplace' the value of this kind of work is beyond measure. It is greatly encouraging and uplifting to read how God can use all of us where we are, no-strings-attached. Thanks!
Thanks so much Nick! I'll be sure to get a copy to you. Please could you send me your postal address!
Blessings,
Dion
