The winner of the Instagram photo challenge is author Angela Watts! Thanks to everyone who participated in the challenge! I loved seeing the different books and characters other people thought of for each of the day’s prompts, and I got a few new book recommendations myself. Please be sure to add the Sola books to your own reading list, and I’d love if it you leave a review when you’re finished. Happy reading!
We’re nearing the end of the Stand Alone photo challenge with Day 4. The prompt for today is “Life Set-Backs.”
Throughout the Sola Series, Grace and her family have faced many set-backs in life. In Stand Alone, Jackson’s future crumbles before his eyes. All he’s ever wanted to do is play football in college, but a major sports injury his senior year of high school crushes that dream.
Who is another book character to experience life set-backs?
It’s not too late to join the challenge! Find me on Instagram @ruthmeyerauthor to enter. I look forward to seeing your entries!
Today is Day 3 of the Instagram photo challenge for the release of Stand Alone! The prompt for today is “Stages of Life.”
The characters in the #SolaSeries often enter into a new phase of life. In Stand Alone, Grace’s children are all in school for the first time in twenty years, and she has to decide how to structure her time. Meanwhile, Jackson is off to a new and exciting world of college, which brings its own challenges.
Anything new can usher in a different phase of life: a birth, new job, marriage, divorce, an empty nest with the kids leaving home, and even death. What is a book that looks at different stages or phases of life?
Be sure to find me on Instagram @ruthmeyerauthor to enter the contest for a chance to win all four Sola Series books!
Yesterday was a successful launch for Stand Alone! Thanks to readers like you, it hit the #1 New Release for Contemporary Christian Fiction on Amazon! (As of right now, it’s still at that spot, but Amazon updates their stats hourly, so no telling how long it will stay that way!) If you have’t gotten your copy yet, please order today! And if you haven’t joined in the Instagram photo challenge, today is a great day to start! Find me @ruthmeyerauthor to join in the fun. Today’s prompt is Family.
In every book of the Sola Series, Grace’s family has faced challenges that could easily tear them apart. Yet God is faithful in bringing healing and forgiveness to broken and strained relationships. In Stand Alone, Jackson has to decide how to handle his relationship with his estranged father even as he helps his best friend, whose family is falling apart.
What is a book that explores the theme of family?
I love to see the answers people come up with for the photo prompts. Enter the challenge for a chance to win all four Sola Books!
And I’m sorry, but I just can’t resist including a screenshot of the #1 New Release! Thanks again, readers!
Today is release day for Stand Alone! Order your copy to continue reading the story of Grace and her family. Instead of a blog tour for this book, I’m hosting a photo challenge, so hop onto Instagram to enter. Today’s photo prompt is Resiliance.
Throughout the Sola Series, the Williams family has had many opportunities to prove their resilience. In Stand Alone, both Grace and Jackson are presented with a different reality than they planned on. Grace’s new season of life makes her reconsider her plans, while Jackson must rethink his future in light of a football injury that puts his scholarship in jeopardy.
Who is your favorite book character that exhibits resilience in the face of changes or challenges?
Post a photo of the book you use to answer the question, use the challenge hashtag (#StandAloneBook) when you post about the day’s prompt, and follow me @ruthmeyerauthor. Then you’ll be entered to win a signed book bundle of the entire Sola Series! Happy reading!
One week until launch day for Stand Alone! Fans of Jackson will enjoy this installment of the Sola Series, which focuses on Jackson’s adjustment to college life as he struggles to find his identity after a sports injury crushes his dream of college football. He’s not the only one to face changes, though. The entire family experiences transition as the kids get older and enter new phases of life. Stand Alone is about identity, character, and standing up for the truth, because God promises His children will never stand alone.
