So, for the three of you who have yet to call me crazy, today will be the day.
I have another book due in October.
I know.
I feel a little like a newly wed who announces she’s pregnant with her second baby before her second anniversary. Come to think of it I was a newly wed who was pregnant with her second child before her second anniversary.
But then I figured out how all that was happening and we celebrated our third anniversary pregnant free.
Glory be.
So, back to the book.
I have 1,432 ideas rushing through my brain, bumping into one another, and slightly stressing me out. I just can’t seem to land on a definite theme for this next book- much less a title.
I sort of toyed with the idea of writing “The experts guide to raising Hamsters.” But then when two of these precious creatures died within a month of living in my care, I started feeling a little hypocritical.
I then played around with something like “Raising kids who never get in a lick of trouble.” But then we had a slight streak of visitations with the principal that caused me to think I should shelve that idea too.
Finally, I really thought I was on to something when I started pondering, “The ultimate guide to keeping the flames of your marriage burning hotter than Hades.” Catchy, I know.
But then I heard my husband talking on his cell phone with a guy from his work the other day. He was unloading treasures he’d gotten at the Sam’s Warehouse Club when he quipped, “Yes, I think the ultimate sign of lasting love is going to the store and bringing your wife home two jumbo boxes of tampons.”
I choked. Literally. Call me high school but I hate that word. Nothing throws a cold dose of reality on hot burning flames more than the word- tampon.
So.
I’m just kinda- sorta- wondering if any of you blog readers have read anything I have written lately and thought to yourself- now that would make a good book.
Possibly--- "The Wild Emotions of a Woman" OR "One Day Completely with Jesus" ???
And I totally know it’s hard to think about me writing anything of value when we have just jumped from hamsters- to the principal’s office -to flames -to tampons.
Remember I warned you- that’s what happens when you have 1, 432 ideas dancing about your brain. On that note, I'm off to deliver a blue shirt y'all.

Just thought I'd share that I was also pregnant with my second child before my second anniversary. Some of the comments I got were just awful. But I wouldn't trade my boys for anything...
Anyhow, I think the blog post that struck me the most lately was the one about women judging women. I think that is such a HUGE problem today, and I'd really love to read a book on that topic.
I'd actually like to read something in conjunction with your post "No, I Can't Love My Husband And Brad Pitt Too." Something about purity of mind and heart not just before you're married but for the rest of your life. I know people that have the misconception that keeping things pure is totally necessary before marriage, but afterwards, it's off to the races!
Well, now. I think you should absolutely stick to the ...burning hotter than hades thing.
It's an important topic. Satan's just throwing you a curveball on that convo you overheard.
Get thee behind me, Satan!
You could put the *blank* (don't want to say that word you hate) story in the book. Your humor is a huge part of what I love about you.
I appreciate how real you are.
A while back you talked about being yourself. You shared a humorous story about an, um, bathroom incident that I believe involved Kay Arther.
Just keep it real and keep it funny. We need to be reminded that other women feel "awkward" at times.

First off...you have no idea how much I needed a smile this morning. Sitting here with tears streaming down my face...opening your blog...the Lord gifted me with a smile. My heart is still broken, but thank you for a moments release.
As for the book idea, the first thing that comes to my mind is what you wrote January 1st of this year..."Unsettled". Lysa, that has stayed with me now right into March. I said it before, and I'll say it again...I want to exchange yesterday's longing for contentment for today's yearning for holiness.
I'm still praying, Lord unsettle me,
Joy
PS. Praying for your "God-stop" today - have fun delivering that shirt in Jesus Name.
Lysa, I am excited to hear what happens with Emily and the blue shirt! :) Can't wait to see what God does through you.
I love "God stops" (Joy's terrific quote!). I had a God stop a few months back. "The Raw Truth" and "The God Who Sees" tells the story.
Only thing is, I am not sure I will know the fruit my "God stop" this side of heaven. When I went back to visit "Hope" again, they told me she didn't work at the grocery store any more. Still praying for her. Praying for Emily, too!

Will also pray He leads you (possibly through a bloggy friend) perfectly for your next book! :)
Maybe it's time for another "Q&A" on your blog!?!? I know our Gather and Grow girls would have a few questions from your books we have read like "what ever happened to the neighbor/pond lady...did you ever hear from her again?" (the cup of water woman)
Enjoy your day!
Just had to come back...Wendy Pope wrote about the danger of "settling" today on her post. Just found that interesting after leaving that comment above...
Obviously God doesn't want me to "settle" :o)
Love ya,
Joy
hmmmm...."hotter than hades"....
I just came back from a ladies retreat where the conversation of sex came up in the late night hours. Now THERE is a topic that isn't discussed among christians enough.
Whatever it is titled, I can't wait to read it!
Well...I was all with Mindi and Rena...and then I was reading Joyful's comment and I was like, "Oh, wait, that would make a great book, too!" Sooooo...what do you think about having twins? ;) Don't you want to write two books at once?
Can't wait to see others' ideas and especially can't wait to read whatever it is God choses for you to write.
How about living in freedom through Christ?! You live every day, sharing and being real. You are free to be you, through and in Christ. John 8:32, You will know the truth and the truth (Jesus) will set you free! Hallelujah!
A couple recently have been so timely/true for me...the one about judging other women, and the one about loving Brad Pitt. Also, I work with women (and a couple of men) in trying to help them lose weight...thought life in general would be a great topic. It's amazing what people tell themselves on a daily/hourly basis. No wonder we judge others and love Brad Pitt-we think we're worthless. (That was a general comment of course!)
It seems to me the topic that has been on your mind lately, is women judging women.
The woman at the well had been married 7 times, and was living with someone who wasn't her husband...would you invite her to your bible study?
If you use my idea, I dont expect you to send me a starbucks gift card, or mention me in the acknowledgements. *wink*
Hi, Lysa!
Just a few weekends with you and Holly at speaking events, and it doesn't take long to see that your life is FULL! What amazes me, Lysa, is that you are still able to keep your relationship with the Lord, you are able to hear His voice through the Holy Spirit, and you are able to lead many women to Jesus in the midst of it all. Truly, truly amazing!
So...I would like to read a book about *that!* Your personal experiences about juggling the various schedules of 5 children, keeping your marriage alive and well, blogging, speaking, running and exercising, writing books, etc, etc. (You even have time to buy shirts for others! I think the Holy Spirit must have whispered that, too).
My husband would be better about brainstorming title ideas, but I'll give it a shot..."Up Before Dawn: How to Be a Proverbs 31 Woman *and* Hear the Voice of God."
"Master Your Schedule and Spend Time with Your Master." or,
"Where Do the Days Go? Living a Fully Devoted Life When Your Life is Full"
Oh, and ask Holly to forward the "tampon story" to you. You might find the word slightly less offensive!
Warmly,
S. in Indy
I really enjoyed your post about the blue shirt and Emily. How about something like Loving Others - Let Them See Jesus In You? I have been trying to nurture that spiritual gift of mercy and this spoke to me yesterday when you talked of Emily. Love.
Hmmm, I think you might have something with the hotter than Hades, can't love my husband and Brad Pitt thing. You are such a riot! That's a topic we need to hear about in a "Grey's Anatomy" sort of world, and you do it with such grace and humor. Thanks for all the laughs!

The whole women judging women thing you've written about lately. That may be a chapter in a book, but I really think it could be a book/bible study all it's own. I know the topic really struck a nerve with me...and I really don't think I'm the only one!
Prayers and blessings to you, O Crazy One! :) hehehe

Hearing God's voice in the midst of it all. The blue shirt incident is just the latest example.
Wow - you've got quit the guy there - not only buys them but will admit it to a friend!
It looks like you have a couple of themes are emerging in the comments.
I think the Can't love Brad Pitt is a great topic and extremely relevant.
I also think the women judging women is a great topic and extremely relevant (that was the topic that came to my mind first - Susie Larson came out with a book last summer "Uncommon Woman" that kind of covers this topic - great book!)
I'll say a prayer for clarity of mind and a supernatural focus as you try to narrow down your topic!
Can't wait to hear the rest of the blue shirt story!

Hi Lysa!
Topics for a new book? Well I can tell you that I have totally benefited lately (thanks to your blog!) from thinking about my WORDS. The words that I direct towards my husband. The words and thoughts that I direct toward other women - all because you have posted about how we talk to our husbands and how we tend to criticize other women. It has really made a difference for me :) Thank you! Maybe that gives you some ideas!?!
I've already prayed that God leads you to a book topic :)
Blessings to you,
Kate :)
This is the type of subject I have to take time to think about but I couldn't resist telling you that you made me laugh with the tampon statement. I have a hubs who would buy them but not sure he would shared that bit of info with anyone else!!! Gotta love our men!!! I do agree with several of the posted comments - you are hilarious and I know I don't laugh enough. If you can make us laugh over hamsters and tampons I can't wait to hear what else you come up with!!! You are a blessing and you make living "real" life more fun!!! God bless!!!!
Just yesterday I was made aware of your "adoption" story by a friend who attended Day Set Apart in Roseville, Minnesota. You were one of the main speakers. You touched her heart with your words because she adopted 3 children from the Philippines less than 6 months ago. We also have 5 adopted children. I would love to encourage you to do a book on adoption--presenting it as a way to follow God's plan who, afterall, has a HUGE adoptive family. Adoption is God's plan for many people and like me, some of them are afraid to step out on this adventure without the encourage that we could give them with our stories. Thanks for considering this topic!
Lysa,
I have just really appreciated your vulnerability with us as readers. I am sure there has been a lot of growth and love from Jesus in order to show us that, WILLINGLY. As a reader, I look foward to your honesty. I'm not sure if that helps for your book subject specifically, but I hope that is a little encouragement thrown your way!
Thanks!
Danielle
I've always enjoyed the posts you've written about relationships with other women - be they friends, acquaintances, or strangers. You were dead on when you wrote the post "women judging women" and I think you are usually very thoughtful about interactions with other women. It is hard for us to be godly women when we are interacting with each other sometimes. I think it would be a great topic to explore and one that a lot of women might like to improve themselves on.
Everytime I stop in and read your blog...which is often as its a good daily Jesus reality check for me...I am so blessed at how you live Jesus daily...like the blue shirt you are about to deliver. You have many "daily Jesus" stories and I think (just my little opinion) that the world needs to see Jesus daily...and how to be Jesus to others...so what do ya think about a little book that shares your daily Jesus stories and encourages others to share their Jesus in very real and practical ways daily! I am all for more Jesus on a daily basis! I love you my friend and am praying for your "special blue shirt delivery!"
you mean you have a book due and you don't even have a topic. scary girl!
i would love to read more about sharing jesus in every day situations, like with the blue shirt. this is something i struggle with. since i stay home and basically interact with children all day,when i am with big people i feel like i don't know what to say, how to start.
Hey Lysa,
I think one very strong topic I think of when I have read any of your books or blogs or hear you speak is a book on "being real". I think in that you could include parts of things on emotions and the judging women (that was a great blog I printed it and shared it at Bible Study).
So, there you have my thoughts, of course I have loved all your books, even if you think your crazy, I just think you are "being real".
Blessings,
Margaret
Lysa,
I'd love to read a book of yours about "Blue Shirt Moments." These moments are so uplifting and inspire the rest of us to keep a watchful eye for these kind of opportunities.
Sweet blessings to you,
Ann
At first thought, I was gonna say stick to a book about marriage based from the blog "No, I can't love my husband and Brad Pitt, too". And I know lots of women would benefit from that subject.
HOWEVER, I believe that marital, among other, problems stem from a much deeper root of discontentment and "a spirit that is tainted and a heart that must be placed under the microscope of God's word".(taken from your blogpost "Unsettled")
Applicable ways to uncover those "areas of my life that have also settled that mock my desires to be godly woman".
That cuts deep into the roots. Also, it seems like a great book topic given that it is your prayer of 2009.
How about a book on how to wait on God when the best is yet to come.
I believe that we have all been there, waiting and wondering why God's timing is NOT our own. Whether we are waiting on a mate, a child, a job and answer that only HE can give..it's all about waiting and learning that dreaded word, "patience."
I will be praying that God give you the exact answer you are looking for concerning this new book. He already knows exactly what it is all about, every single word and every heart that will be touched.
God's best blessings to you today,
Tanya
Oh Lysa, you could write about practically ANYTHING and it would be worthwhile reading.
Personally, I'm always looking for help with finding the balance in my life. I want to serve God, my family, my church, my community and be all He would have me to be. Yet, I'm constantly fighting the feeling of being overwhelmed. I'm overwhelmed with all the demands of my life. I'm good at saying "no", a talent many women would admire I'm sure, but there's still so much.
So, a book about balance sounds great to me. Coming from someone who runs a company, travels, speaks, writes, inspires, exercises, and says yes to all God has for her -- it would be a great book!
Lysa,
I loved the comment you made about women gossiping about other women & it really stuck with me & made me more aware of my own sin nature to do that. You said "IS IT WORTH THE CHEAP THRILL" instead of ENCOURAGING STILL.
I can relate to your dilemma. I am writing a monthly column for my church's Women's Newsletter. I have more thoughts running through my head than I can capture to put to "paper," as it were.
I love the way you find Jesus in the middle of all your real life happenings with floating mattresses, hamsters, children, shoes and all the "stuff" that we all go through (not quite as colorfully as you maybe:)). That is what brings me back day after day is the "realness" and the love and the encouragement that it will get better and God is definitely not done with us. A book of those moments would be awesome... like one of the ladies said, "Blue Shirt Moments".
Blessings to you my dear sister...
Hey Lysa,
I liked the post When all else is stripped away. I know that it's about illness and the potential for death but it's good to encourage each other when we all go through these things either in our own lives or in the lives of our friends. A book on this could help when we don't have the words to say.

I really think the sex/lust marriage issue and women judging each other kind of go together. Usually women who are judging other women are unhappy in life. Which, if married, also carries into their marriage. There is no reason to judge another woman if you are joy filled. There is no reason to lust after another man if you are joy filled either. If your contentment is in the Lord those things would not matter to you. Could be a very interesting way to tie two very deep subjects together.
I would like to read anything by you, because I really enjoy these blogs. What I need however, is a book about loving Brad Pitt and your husband and most importantly, finding forgiveness...I really need to be re-assured I'm forgiven because it ended up in a divorce and my exhusband is not acting like he ever will forgive me, so I often wonder, how can God or does God or will God?
Just this morning in Bible Study we were talking about how Christian women need to be more transparent. Sometimes we hide all the bad stuff that's going on because of pride, or whatever. We need to let those who don't know Jesus that life isn't going to be easy just because you are a Christian. But we can rely on Jesus to hold us up when the going gets tough.
And sometimes we as Christians tend to "shoot" our wounded. We have got to get real and help each other through trials.
I agree with Cindy. In the world of hand sanitizers, we have sanitized everything to the point of it not affecting us anymore. We just add a little more gloop to our souls and our hearts, and shine us pretty, and off we go. Our world, our communities need to see Christians deal with life - all the mess that it brings, all the mess we make of it - through the lens of the gospel and through God's grace. That is what will transform a community.
Hey Lysa - God has been teaching me about the fact that my worth and value comes only from HIM!
It is so easy to compare myself with others even in blogging (IE)"she has more comments than me so she must be better," etc. But God continues to say "I love you. You are valuable. I have plan for YOU. I will use you." And I can take that from Him and know that what others think of me or how many comments I get :) does NOT affect my worth.
Realizing and really believing this truth is changing my life and changing the way I view and talk about others. I think that this is the core issue why we judge, are critical, or unkind. (We want to feel better about ourselves and so we put others down).
I think it's the core issue why we're "looking for love in all the wrong places" why we try and fill our lives with stuff, tv, blogs, whatever.
Until we realize that Christ alone can fill our deepest desires and longings that He alone determines our worth and value, we will continue to be insecure and unfulfilled.
My life has never been more full now that I understand more HOW much He adores me and wants to show me Himself everyday! I really do see and feel Him everyday! Life is so purposeful!
Your book, "What Happens when Women say YES to God" definately played a big role in this journey for me! Thanks!!
So after that long drawn out comment, I think you could write a book on our identity in Christ.
"Women Judging Women" could be a chapter in it.
As could "You can't love Brad Pitt and Your Husband Too"
I would love to be on your prayer team again for this one Lysa! I can't wait to see what topic God gives you!! :)
Hey Lysa,
Why don't you write a book about kindness and how God uses it to change people? You could call it, "It was just a blue shirt..." -- and a subtitle of "Hearing God in everyday conversations." Thank you for reminding me that kindness moves people and laughter is good for the soul! God is so good! Thank you for letting Him use you as instrument to touch me. -- Becky
PS I love that you're not afraid to admit you're human! Just like me!
You are just too funny. I would be the same way if Steve outted me with the um, you knows. Which would be a shock since I had a hysterectomy nearly 10 years ago. Anyway....
YES! I have an idea.
Lysa, remember the post you wrote about "unsettle me"? There's a whole book in that, honey. And there was the one on speaking good words. You could always do a humor one - maintaining sanity with a mattress in the pond type thing.
You make me laugh!
I was thinking about your blue shirt delivery this morning...where I do my best thinking...in the shower. And the question that hit me heart was this: I wonder how many blue shirts are out there, in just the right size, waiting unclaimed.
That could be a book, right there.
This really doesn't have anything to do with a book topic, but there is a little girl named Lola who is very sick and the doctors don't really know what is going on. Her family is asking for prayers and since so many people read your blog, I hope it is fine that I add this here...just felt compelled to do so.
As for a title to your book, how about "Thank God that He loves me, casue I am a mess"...and I dont mean that you, Lysa are a mess. I just think that one of the reasons that your blog blesses so many of us is because we are all a mess. We are all able to identify ourselves in the things you post. God bless you...and keep on keeping on!
Y'all are cracking me up. Thanks for all the fun insights and helpful tips.
Ok, now that I am posting a comment right under, you all are cracking me up, I am forgoing said comments, and going back to read a few...since I need a good laugh right now. :)
I put off commenting today because I really wanted to give this some thought. And I have a few . . . :)
I totally resonnate with the woman who suggested the "Thank God He loves me cause I'm a mess" idea. Your transparency, living a real life as you do, speaks to so many women. Maybe you could go into Lives that are a mess, marriages that are a mess, friendships that are a mess. . . . Just thinking here . . .
The other thing that came immediately to mind, as others have caught too, is the "everyday Jesus" stories. A while back I blogged about an incident in which I had to be Jesus to a refugee woman on a 25-degrees-BELOW-zero day--sadly, I was a begrudging servant, but it turned out o.k. Being "Jesus" everyday really requires listening to and obeying His voice (something I don't do very well). I'd love to read something about that. Maybe you could even do a compilation of women's stories since lots of us seem to have them. :)
Whatever you do, Lysa, will be done with authenticity and upholding the name of Christ. You wouldn't do any less.
Lysa,
I have read all of your books and I just love reading your blog because you are real. You meet me where I am and sometimes that is not a pretty place.
How about a book about "stability in an unstable world." You could write about the stability that a relationship with the Lord gives to being a wife, mother, friend, with your finances etc.
It seems most ladies that I talk to are concerned about this unstable world whether it be the economy or the state of the family or life in general.
Whatever the Lord leads you to write will be blessed and will also bless your readers.
I'm praying for you as you walk this road of discovery.
Tasha
I'd love to read a book on answered prayer. I've read a lot on when God says no, but I'd love a rockin' encouraging book on when God says yes--filled with amazing true stories both big and small. Part of the book could be how God uses us to answer the prayers of others. Stories like your blue shirt one. Or sex. I agree that Christian women need to talk about sex!
The thing I like best about you Lysa is your sense of humor. So my suggestions is a book about maintaining a sense of humor even though you have been/are going/will be going through many trials.
Unfortunately, I think that is one of the worst testimonies a Christian can give...after their life roof caves in, they give up and forget how to laugh. They isolate themselves and just stop trusting, laughing, loving etc.
Conversely, I think that's what makes Beth Moore and Jon Courson's testimony so powerful. Even though God allowed Satan to sift them like wheat, they maintained a joy for living and kept a sense of humor. Gimme THAT Jesus! Amen!!!
It seems you may have answered your own question...."Divine Whispers in the Midst of Life."
...how it all started with a blue shirt!
I've been touched by your prayers. Unsettle me. Scriptures you've shared and pray.
The tampons. I vote for a book about tampons. ;)
I love whatever you write cos everything you share, is truly transparent and reflects the every day thoughts of what a christian woman would think or walk thru :)
Hi Lysa!
A great book (and I haven't really seen a lot on this topic)would be on the importance of, ways to nurture and grow, and pitfalls and detours to avoid in our relationships with our girlfriends. You touched on the topic in a recent post (Women Judging Women)and I think there is a lot to draw from on this topic.
Sometimes we are damaging or neglecting a friendship and don't even notice. I think sometimes we forget that the women in our lives are a gift from God, sent to be his hands, arms and shoulders in the flesh.
:)
Lysa, one that I am struggling with is stress in marriage. A book on that would be helpful to me. Right now I am dealing with help my mother, and my husband's mother, and taking care of my own family, financial struggles, "trying to lose weight problems" , overwhelmed by what needs to be done at home, when I work full-time, etc. Stress, Stress, Stress, so tired of Stress, What to do! Help!
I like wild womans emotions idea. I would like to read books on dealing with emotions spiritually and also dealing with anxiety and depression and moods, spiritually
Lysa....Words....encouraging words...eye-opening words...confronting words....to other women. You are so good in all your other books, I do believe the words (no pun intended) will flow. Give scriptures and how to put forth the words..so we can bless all women we meet with words....oh and how to start up a conversation so we can direct it to our love and trust in God for ALL our daily experiences. GO Girl!
I haven't been able to visit for awhile, but i just embrace your writing...it's so fun!
anyway, this is a topic that i would love to write a book on, but since i don't think i will ever actually aspire to that, i will lend the idea to you! lol. it kinda goes with the judging women thing. The comparison game. I'm soooo sick of how Satan uses lies of comparisons against us as women. You read someones blog with 8 kids and homeshooling and just made 10 dozens of homemade candies as valentines gifts for neighbors...all of a sudden you feel like the worst mom and neighbor ever. and if you actually get into "serious" subjects, our comparisons of what we are NOT, can paralyze us into to NOT doing what God wants us to do...and all along Satan continually whispers in your ear about what THEY can do and YOU can not.
Does this make sense? It's late.
ok. that's it. that's my book. lol
my vote is women judging women and mothers judging other mothers---
These seenm to be current topics that need a fresh burst of humor and maybe a path of a better way?
thanks for letting me shar my two cents..
i know i am days late but there are 2 books i would like..one is how to even get started on a godly path. i have no clue how to study a bible. how to jump start faith. if that makes sense. i know what i am trying to say. the other part i struggle with is trust. because of my past i don't trust god or anyone else. that is a huge issue for me. so there you go a dollar short and a day late:)
ROFLMBO! Lysa, you're SO funny. I've been so busy lately, I've not been around. But I'm glad you're on yet another book - when God has blessed you with the ability to touch women at the heart level, and share the Truth with them, it's exciting to see where He'll lead you next!
What about something along the lines of "How God works through a REAL woman"? :)
BE BLESSED!!

Hi Lysa, I have not read your book YET! I have been reading your blogs. I LOVE THEM!!! I think you are real and precious and have a sense of humor and we all need laughter right now. I like BLUE SHIRT CONNECTIONS, BLUE SHIRT MOMENTS, Divine Whispers in Blue Shirts, Blue Shirts. You can share stories of God's divine Whispers. In the midst we ladies, blogging sisters can share blue shirts. It maybe be in other ways. It reminded me of the other day I watched Rachel Ray and she had a book on DIAMOND NECKLACE, it was about a group of ladies who bought a diamond necklace and shared it together. So she brought on a group of readers who read the book and gave the group $5,000 to buy something together. Could they come up with something? You could start to open our hearts to listen to GOD's Whispers, and give what God wants. You can share the blue shirt, starbucks.. and I am sure you have many precious stories. We all have struggles, and how God met our needs.. I can't WAIT!!!
