Early readers
Read the book before it ships
A small group of readers. A free early copy. An honest review on launch day.
I am looking for about thirty readers to read Meaningless Without Love before it launches on 14 June 2026. If you are the kind of person who reads slowly, underlines things, and cares about whether a book is actually true, this is for you.
What you get
A watermarked PDF of the full manuscript, sent to your email in the first week of May 2026. You read it at your own pace over the following four or five weeks.
What I ask
If the book resonates, post a short honest review on Amazon on launch day. That is it. A paragraph or two. Your real reaction, in your own words.
If you read it and it is not for you, or if it does not land, say so and walk away. No review is required. I only want honest ones.
Who this is for
Committed Christians who are tired but still showing up. People who grew up in church and are looking for something more honest than the version of faith they inherited. Readers who care about love, not as a feeling but as the thing Scripture has been asking of us all along.
You do not need a platform. You do not need a blog. You do not need to be a "reviewer" in any official sense. You just need to be someone who reads carefully and writes honestly.
The timeline
- Early May 2026: you receive the PDF
- Early May to mid June: you read at your own pace
- 14 June 2026: the book launches, and if it resonated, you post your review
