Addition by Adoption - The new book from Kevin Hendricks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yesterday<\/a>, I briefly told you about Kevin Hendrick’s latest book, <\/em>. <\/p>\n

I want to be sure I give it it’s just due.
\n
\nI knew starting 2010 that Kevin was a blogger to keep an eye on<\/a>… but not only is he continuing his great blogging this year — he’s also released TWO<\/strong> books with a third in the works (his first was The Least of These<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Kevin and I chatted last week for an upcoming episode of the podcast<\/a> to catch up on what’s been going on in his life since our first chat<\/a> in the summer of 2008.<\/p>\n

As we talked about his life and the new book, it continues to be obvious that Kevin has a huge heart for those around him — especially those living on the margins.<\/p>\n

He’s all about caring for others.<\/p>\n

And his new book is a prime example of this. <\/p>\n

The book walks us through the last year and a half of Kevin’s life…<\/p>\n

from the “mundane”…<\/p>\n

Watching Lexi and another 2-year-old turn the handicap ramp at Barnes & Noble into a playground.<\/em><\/p>\n

to the humorous aspects of being a stay-at-home dad…<\/p>\n

Me: \u201cNobody wants your bare butt on the couch!\u201d Lexi: \u201cBear? I\u2019m not a bear!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

to the adoption of his son Milo…<\/p>\n

Big, big thank you to everyone for your comments, thoughts and prayers as we travel to Ethiopia to pick up Milo. We appreciate it so much.<\/em><\/p>\n

to the causes he has a deep passion for…<\/p>\n

On Thursday I\u2019m going to sleep outside to help the homeless. Today it\u2019s snowing. Doh.<\/em><\/p>\n

In addition to the chronology of Kevin’s last year-and-a-half, the book is an amazing testimony to the power of a Tweet and to the power of ambient intimacy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sure, you probably don’t care what Kevin’s daughter Lexi had for breakfast, but when you see Kevin’s tweets put in a chronological book form, you get a true picture of his heart and the passions of his family.<\/p>\n

That’s what Twitter is all about for me.<\/p>\n

I truly encourage you to purchase a copy of the book — not only because Kevin’s become a great friend, or it shows ambient intimacy, but because it also helps support another cause Kevin is passionate about — charity:water<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And if you pre-order the book (now through April 20th) you’ll save yourself a couple bucks, more money will go to charity:water and you’ll get your copied autographed by 4-year-old Lexi Hendricks to boot.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, the book will be available on Amazon on May 11th.<\/p>\n

Check it out and order a copy for you and your friends.<\/a> You’ll be glad you did.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
