SURPRISE!

While in my last email I might have mentioned the cover reveal was today, my co-partner and I are thrilled to share that Finding God in Anime: A Devotional for Otakus released early!

You can download a free e-copy on a variety of places, but if you prefer reading paperbacks, those are readily available on Amazon!

But first, if you're unsure what this devotional is about, here is the official blurb!

Finding God in Anime Blurb

Being a Christian can be tough. Being an otaku can be tough. But being both at once?

Sometimes it seems easier to become Hokage rather than explaining your faith and passions to others. That is why we otaku have united in this devotional: To encourage otaku like you spiritually and through a medium we all cherish.

In this devotional, you will find God in the animes you know and love. Each devotional presents spiritual lessons found in animes ranging from the world-famous Attack on Titan to fan-favorite Haikyu!! to beloved classics like Cowboy Bebop. Each piece will feature a different theme such as:

• Human Will vs. The Holy Spirit in Yona of the Dawn
• Choosing to be Free in Free! Swim Club
• Not by My Might in My Hero Academia

…and many others! We believe that God can be seen throughout His creation—even in places where people might not intend! So pull out your cosplay and snuggle close with your plushies as you join us in Finding God in Anime.

Moriah and I are so excited this book is here! I hope if you grab a copy that you find it deeply inspiring and encouraging!

And we're not the only ones feeling that way! Check out this amazing endorsement we received recently!

"Finally, otaku have a devotional to call their own, one that’s centered on scripture and as diverse thematically as it is with the anime it discusses, from recent popular works like My Hero Academia and Attack on Titan to classics like Cowboy Bebop and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Filled with encouraging messages, I found myself uplifted as I read the devotions, which pointed me toward living a more holy life with patient and grace-filled words by the writers. This is the kind of work that you carry with you, pulling out to read when discouraged by the world and your own shortcomings to remember that God is with us, that he cares, and that he’s speaking to us—even through anime." ~ Charles Sadnick, Founder of Beneath the Tangles, Devotional Author, and Christian Anime Journalist
