And so that was the big thing.

And also my dad, he grew up strict Catholic, but without a lot of love.

And then he got injured and was in the hospital and someone prayed for him and he got healed right away.

And so he's like, whoa, I need to find out about this God.

And so that's kind of a journey that happened for us.

My journey was, I believed in God my whole life.

But my life greatly changed when I met this homeless harpist in downtown Denver in 2010.

Because I spent five years full-time writing in the writing inter-excellence, 50 to 60 hours a week.

But I came out of that with a near mental breakdown.

I had spent my life savings, $90,000 in debt.

There came a point where I was speaking to these high schools in Denver, Colorado.

I was thinking, okay, yeah, the book is in bookstores around the world.

That's great.

But you've got no money to hire someone to market the book.

You don't know how to do marketing, and you don't like promoting yourselves.

This is not a good marketing plan.

If no one hears about the book, no one's going to buy the book.

If no one buys the book, then Barnes & Noble will pull it off the shelves, and five years of full-time work is going to go down the drain, plus all that money.

And I just could not see how that was not going to happen.

The Barnes & Noble pulling off the shelves?
