Branson author Lauri Lemke Thompson, who writes a column for the Branson Globe, has published a second book, “Pressing Forward.”
In her first book, “Hitting Pause,” Thompson alluded to the pause button on our many devices. Sometimes the only way to find a silent moment of peace is to hit pause on life’s noise. Then one can smell the roses, ponder and discover.
In this follow-up book, “Pressing Forward,” readers are offered hope and encouragement as they hit the Forward key in life.
“Sometimes it helps to forget what lies behind and press forward to what lies ahead,” Thompson said. “In this book my desire is that readers will find courage to face the next day with joyful, faith-filled eagerness.”
Both volumes are collections of the writer’s columns, short articles and devotions. If you would like to request a complimentary copy of either book—for yourself or to place in the reception or waiting area of a business, medical or dental facility—contact the author at SnowyPinesLane@gmail.com. You may also have a ministry (such as being a chaplain) in which one or both books might be useful.
The books cannot be obtained on Amazon or other internet platforms but only through the author herself. Currently, Thompson is not charging for the books. If shipping is necessary or multiple copies are wanted, reasonable costs can be discussed. It may be possible to avoid shipping if you live in the Branson area as drop-off spots can often be arranged.
The books are spiral-bound, sturdy and 6 by 8 inches in size. Both include quality color photos, many taken by the author and her husband on their trips, adding to the attractive visual appeal.
A Wisconsin native, Thompson is active in the Branson Christian Women’s Connection (Stonecroft) and the Ozarks Chapter of the American Christian Writers.
