Announcing My New Book Project!

One night I was alone in my living room (a very unusual thing!) and God called me to write another book, but this one would involve another person. I couldn't write it alone because this story wasn't mine alone. It was one of lives being intertwined through tragedy. It was such a strong and clear calling that I just knew this man would be willing to get involved - and praise God HE WAS! We're on the last leg of writing and I'm excited to announce the subject matter to you!

As a side note - click on the play button to hear the theme song for the book. My son wrote it and I think it represents the story perfectly!

He Heard "Hannah"
Theme Song by Jared Kraft

Here's a little teaser I've written up.

___________________________

July 12th, 1998 a man began a career in 911 dispatch. Two weeks later a baby girl was born.

November 19th, 2004, a man took a 911 call that would change his life. That same day a little girl died.

If you've ever wondered if God is real ... this story will convince you - He is.
If you've ever wondered if God cares about you ... this story will convince you - He does.

He Heard "Hannah"
How one family's tragedy led to one man's hope

by Lynnette Kraft
with Courtney Becker

_______________________________


Website and Book Trailer coming soon!

**PLEASE be praying that God will provide an agent and/or publisher for this project. I'm getting close to being done with the book and Courtney and I are both extremely excited about how it's all coming together. We are continuing to marvel at this awesome God we serve.



Kyle and I and Courtney and Jocinda - bonded forever because of Anna.

Wonderful - I can't wait to read it! I remember when you shared about him. I'm so excited about this book - what a great testimony to share!

Jessica said...

I am eager to read it NOOOOW!

See, see I should have said something!

Just kiddin... I thought one time only, that it was about Anna because of the wacky clues, but other times I was all crazy around and out of the box!!

Ok but I am a little confused with the clues... can you go back and explain how they were a clue haha!

God Bless, praying in Wyoming for a publisher and smooth from here on out!

Jessica said...

Wife, mother...and now a grandma! said...

Lynnette....may I be so bold as to say that I am NOT going to pray God provides a publisher.....because....I fully believe it has already been provided!! The way is clear....and what a beautiful follow-up...to be able to share how tragedy can lead to beauty not only in your own "little" world...but how God uses us beyond what we can imagine!!! I know this book is from God....and I know it will be used to draw and bless many to Him!!! I know the way is paved....and I look so forward to being able to read the final product!!!

I love you!! and your willingness to serve our Heavenly Father in all that you do!! and btw...I just finished reading "The Heavenly Man" because of your reference to it here on your blog!! OMG....what a lifechanging experience!! If you have the desire and time....another one that is equally good, from a woman...Evidence Not Seen!! If you haven't read it already....it's totally worth it!!!

Thank you for being out CHUM!!! May God bless you and yours today!!!

Wife, mother...and now a grandma! said...

oops....out CHUM should of course say OUR chum!!! (and in case I didn't make it clear....I am praying for you as you continue this work...just maybe in a different avenue!! Praying God will continue to give you all that you need to do His work!!)

That is such a beautiful song that Jared wrote. I am so proud of you!!! I am praying for the success of this book, Lynnette, because I believe that it will touch so many lives, the same way your first book touched me, and the same way Anna's life touched Courtney. I know it's going to be such a beautiful story and I know that this was always God's plan for your lives. I am SO excited that I don't know if I can wait to read it!!! Can I be on the proofreading committee or something? LOL!!

Very intriguing music and teaser; I look forward to reading more. Hi, over from Joanne's. I, too, am in the midst of writing my 4th book; my 3rd is soon to be published with WinePress. Very excited to write my heart for readers.

We all have a story to tell; we're the only ones qualified to write them.

What a privilege it is to have others come alongside for the journey.

peace to you as you go~elaine
