Hey Doc,

I just got done reading Seeing Jesus, and I found it to be wonderful both theologically and on the practical side. I've just started trying cataphatic prayer, and the first couple times have been great, and I'm looking forward to seeing how the Lord uses it in my life.

So, my question is, why didn't you publish it?

Blessings,
chambes

I wrote this book about 12 years ago. I initially tried about 20 publishers and got rejected by each one. Most were evangelical publishers who were worried about "visualization" and "new age" associations. Several were more liberal publishing houses that thought it was too conservative. And a few were Catholic publishers who thought it was too Protestant.

In other words, it feel between the cracks of the market niche.

I have since contacted two or three publishers, but with no success.

Its kind of amazing in that, aside from Letters From a Skeptic, this is the work I've had the most positive feedback on.

We plan on reworking the book this summer and trying again.

Thanks for the feedback.

Blessings

Doc
