Nashville,
TN, July 28, 2009 - Sheaf House Publishers announces the August,
2009 release of Rain Dance by author Joy DeKok.
Rain
Dance delves into the often silent battles and surprising hypocrisies
found in the lives of women facing these two personal crisis.
Publisher
and editorial director Joan Shoup contracted Rain Dance because
it fits the editorial guidelines and the commitment of Sheaf House
to publish novels written with excellence, that are unafraid to
dive deep into the heart of sometimes “untouchable”
topics, and offer a powerful redemptive message for readers.
“Rain
Dance is the perfect fit for Sheaf House,” Shoup says. “The
author has written a beautiful story her test readers and reviewers
love. She didn’t shy away from the difficult and refused
to end the novel with ‘happily ever after.’”
Author
Joy DeKok comments, “I’m dedicated to writing with
integrity – my faith demands it and the story, which is
both plot and character driven, required it. I didn’t choose
this topic. It chose me one day while I was cleaning the house.
I told God I thought it was a great idea and I hoped He’d
find an author for it. Although I argued with Him for almost a
year, I realized, He already had His author. Me.”
Rain
Dance joins the impressive Sheaf House line up August of 2009.
Endorser
Sue Liljenberg, International Director, of Healing Hearts Ministries
says, “This book is a must read for all women. Although
it is a fictional story the author has brilliantly captured the
many issues that women struggle with and offers hope that can
only be found in Jesus. She also shows how looking beyond our
own circumstances can bring blessings into our lives and the lives
of others. I’ve ministered to broken women for over twenty
years and I’m thankful for resources like Rain Dance that
will reach women who are hurting and give them hope.”
Rain Dance is distributed by Ingram
and APG Sales and Distribution.
