Sure. It's been a while since I've blogged. But every now and then I get excited about the world of web logging and get a few seconds to muck around on the net. And so today I decided to share my good news with my thousands of loyal readers.
Someone famous is reading my book.
Well he's not famous famous. But he is well-known. Particularly in Australia.
His name is Mark McCrindle and he is a social analyst, or futurist. He runs McCrindl research which is a company that researches social trends and specialises on Generational research. It was because of his online research (mcrindle.com.au) that got me thinking about generations in the first place.
[Note: If you are reading my blog for the first time (welcome and where have you been?), you'll need to know that the book that I've written is about bridging the Generation gap, and in particular trying to figure out how to engage the current generation of teenagers long enough that we might jam the gospel down their throats.]
I went to a conference (compulsory professional developement - don't call me nerd), and he was the keynote speaker. I met him and he told me that he knew I had been writing some stuff. I picked my chin up off the floor and asked if he'd like to read it. He said yes. I said great. He gave me a copy of his book, 'The ABC or XYZ' (catchy huh.)
And so he now has a copy of my book on his bedside table.
And hopefully he's reading it.
And hopefully he doesn't think that it's rubbish.
And even if he does, at least I can say that someone famous-ish, has read my book.
Peace out.
