My new book now available as an Ebook on Nook at Barnes and Noble

Promises In The Dark: One Woman's Search for Authentic Love

Promises In The Dark: One Woman’s Search
for Authentic Love by Beth Jones

I’m so excited! My new book, Promises In The Dark: One Woman’s Search for Authentic Love, is now available as an Ebook for Nook at Barnes and Noble!

Whoop!

Here’s what my client and friend Stephanie Carter had to say after reading it:

“I just finished Beth Jones’ book, Promises in the Dark.… Let me say, Beth, thank you for your courage to write each and every word. It was very transparent and telling, to say the least. I was greatly inspired to know Jesus and to write my own stories. It is a great book that I believe will bring healing or at least open a door for women needing healing from their secrets and false promises. They will see your transparency and be encouraged to move from the dark to the light of Jesus. Thank you for writing this book. God bless you.”

Once you are real

This week a friend/business peer asked me what readers’ response has been to my new book, Promises In The Dark: One Woman’s Search for Authentic Love – and if I was okay.

I told her the response has varied, and yes, I am okay. I wrote my sister Maria a letter last night, and told her that I actually feel more liberated. No hiding. No secrets. The truth sets you free. (John 8:32)

Some readers, viewing it pre-book launch, said it is beautifully written, powerful, raw, triumphant. Some friends, after reading it, are shocked, not knowing I had been through some of the painful things I’d experienced -or sinned to the degree that I have.

Other readers are uncomfortable, because I’m so open and truthful in it. Some people can’t handle that much transparency.

A couple of friends have questioned me writing it, asking me won’t sharing my sinful past like this (abortions, adulterous affairs) hurt my husband Ray and our children.

Our family

Me, Ray, and our 3 beautiful daughters Heather (far left), Leah (middle), and Eden (far right)

My response to that is I’ve been very open with Ray and our 3 beautiful daughters. They already know about my past. I’ve used it as an object lesson of what NOT to do. “You follow Me,” Jesus told Peter in John 21:22.

Being real is risky and scary.

It takes you way out of your comfort zone. 

It may mean losing friends, fans and followers, and support.

It may mean being criticized and judged.

But I believe God told me to write this book…and I obeyed.  I thank God for His Unconditional Love and Forgiveness, for His grace and mercy upon me.

For those who read it and decide to judge me, I refer to a quote in The Velveteen Rabbit  story.

“Once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.” – The Skin Horse from The Velveteen Rabbit, Margery Williams
