We Have Some Great Discount Offers!

But just because something is discounted does not mean you should buy it.

It’s important to try something out first. Don’t just spend when you are not sure about what you are getting.

We cannot offer to let you read the whole book, but we do think that we can let you see enough of the book to be able to say to yourself, “Hey, this really is a book that I must get, and maybe one for a friend, too!”

So, take a look at the Menu item offering sample readings [HERE] and see if there is not something irresistible to find as you begin to browse and enjoy the sample readings!

When you have made your selection, also be sure that you use an online discount coupon. The coupons give you more discount the more books you purchase. More info [HERE].

Oh, and please do contact us when you have read a book and been blessed in the reading. You could do that by sending a note from our online contact form [HERE] or by sending us an email [HERE].

Did you know that you can buy your My Coffee-Cup Meditations books here on this site as well as from vendors such as Amazon?

We have some special prices, too, and offer you generous discounts by using the coupons (details HERE). And the great news about the coupons is that you (and anyone else) can use them, as often as you wish, so there is a great opportunity to make some super savings as you order these wonderful resources!

Off to the Printer Very Soon!

We’re delighted to be able to report that we are going to print Books 2 and 3 together so as to release them… and bundle Book 1 in the release, too!

Watch this spot. Once the author has given the OK to the print-ready files, we’ll be launching

The “Thumbs-Up” Man

When God Blocks Our Path

And we’re pretty sure that you will love all three books and want to get them for yourself as well as for a friend, family member, work-colleague, or neighbor.

Be sure to check back soon for an update on the availability of these delightful, beautifully produced devotional books.

Five-Star Feedback

Really enjoyed A Dog and a Clock, and look forward to the next in the series. Fills a gap in the market for a brief mid-morning bit of encouragement and inspiration. It’s a handy size to slip in one’s pocket or shoulder bag when travelling. Please update me when others in the series become available.

Thanks to Nigel Faithfull for this good feedback. Nigel also shared his Amazon review:

I gave it a 5-star Amazon review: “This book has a short chapter for every day in a 31-day month. It combines a thought for the day with Scripture references and a definite gospel content.
Better than caffeine for lifting the spirits.”

We’re Thankful for Your Thanks!

Here are four comments from readers:

• Very interesting
• I really enjoyed it
• Good stuff
• I’m looking forward to the next one.

Enjoy reading these excellent, Bible-rich meditations!

Book 2 Is Coming Together Nicely. . .

What is the best way to render the names of four contributing authors on the cover of a modest sized book?

That’s the question we discussed with primary author, Roger Ellsworth, in finalizing the cover design for Book 2, so engagingly titled The “Thumbs-Up” man.

We think you will love reading this book. There is a wonderful variety of readings in it–from Roger, Sylvia, Tim, and Martyn. The book’s blurb is posted below; but back to the matter of how to render their names.

After discussion, we decided to inscribe the words “Roger Ellsworth and Family” on the front part of the cover, and then to expand this on the back part of the cover.

Let us know what you think of the design of this book HERE and be sure to ask us to let you know as soon as it is in print!

He would be driving to his work in his old pickup truck and I would be driving to my study. I used to tease him about that truck. It had so many holes in it that I dubbed it a “see-through” truck. What I most remember about those meetings is not the sight of his beat-up pickup. It is rather what Pete would do when he spotted me. He would smile and give me the thumbs-up sign. I never felt like I needed an explanation. I took his thumbs-up sign to mean: “Be encouraged! Everything is going to be okay!”
