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 27 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 weeks leading up to launch. You read it at your own pace before 27 June.

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.

Who this is for

Committed Christians who care about getting it right. People who grew up in church and want 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

  • Shortly after you sign up: you receive the PDF by email
  • The weeks before launch: you read at your own pace
  • 27 June 2026: the book launches, and if it resonated, you post your review

Thank you for even reading this far.
