Companion Info

A Companion for the Journey is a self-published devotional that I hope will be—as the title states—a companion for individual or group reflection. Though designed to match Lent’s 40 days, I also wanted Companion to be appropriate for daily readings along the journey of faith. Does it work for Lent? Yes. But it’s also for other times, from groups seeking a common resource or an individual desiring inspiration for personal reflection.

(Note written on January 23)…if you’re on this page because you clicked my Facebook ad, I’d love to hear from you. As a struggling artist–love that phrase!!–it’d be helpful to know why you made the leap from Facebook to here. Comment or try larry@larrypatten.com.)

Companion has 41 reflections mostly on the Lord’s Prayer. Since you’re a responsible adult, you can read it anyway you wish . . . however, it’s designed so that each brief “chapter” can be read on a daily basis in a matter of minutes. As your companion, I hope my words will invite your questions, disagreements and insights about the relationship between Creator and creation.

It’s available HERE on Amazon as a paperback ($8.99) or Kindle ($3.99).

Or click HERE for Barnes and Noble’s Nook ($3.99).

 

What about DEALS for groups using Companion?

 If you want a group discount for the paperback, let me know. I get an author’s discount (ah, the perks of self-publishing!). But it’s a tad complicated . . . because I’m the guy who’ll have to handle the order from start to finish! Here are the steps and likely costs:

• If you want 10 or more copies I’ll send them to you as soon as I get your check.*
• Once I get your check, I place the order. About 10-12 days later you get the books. Exciting, but not fast!
• Cost per book (10 or more) is 30% off the $8.99 price or $6.30. This includes price of book, shipping costs and a few bucks for the guy who wrote the book.
• This will not be a quick turnaround . . . please plan ahead. Cheaper is slower, sorry.

Oh, I do have one last comment . . .

I’m on leave of absence from ministry, mostly focused on writing novels. But I spend time each week volunteering with Nancy Hinds Hospice in Fresno. One of their programs is Angel Babies, where families grieving the death of an infant or caring for a child with a life-limiting illness are supported. I want to support their ministry, so 10% of Companion’s sales (of any kind…paperback, digital) will be donated to Angel Babies. (Or ignore buying my book, click on the Hinds link and donate money on your own…who needs me as a middleman?)

 

*No PayPal/credit card yet. If there’s a big demand for this option (though I have no idea what “big” or “demand” might look like) I’ll consider it. If you want to grab 10 or more books from me, I’ll give you my address and you can snail-mail me a check.
