While flying home Friday, I was completely oblivious to the miracle God was performing…
I had flown to New York City on Wednesday to do an interview on NBC’s TODAY Show (awesome experience, and Kathy Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb are even more beautiful in person!). I returned to DFW Airport exhausted and ready to see my family. While I was waiting at baggage claim, I turned on my cell phone, and had a text message from Skyla, a staff member. It read:
SCW is #52 on Amazon.com — higher than 11 out of 16 of the New York Times Best-Sellers on the list!
I had to read it several times for it to sink in — this book had risen over 6,000% in the rankings in just the few hours between that Friday morning interview and me landing in Dallas! Enough to put it at #2 on Amazon’s “Movers & Shaker’s” List!
While I was a mile high in the sky, passing the time reading a book and nibbling on pretzels, little did I know that God was working such a big miracle. And the excitement continued — by the time we went to bed that night, the book had risen to #35 on Amazon.com, and #19 on Barnes & Noble.com!
Sure, we’re ecstatic over the idea that this one trip to New York will go a long way toward getting our kids through college, but my deepest desire would be that the miracle of increased book sales is just the tip of this iceburg. I’m desperately praying that every wife (or husband) who ordered that book on Friday would receive a major MARRIAGE MIRACLE in the days to come as they read the book!
It may sound like a bizzarre statement to say, “Many of the world’s problems would be solved if couples had more sex,” but think about this… a more sexually confident wife means a healthier, happier wife AND a happier, more satisfied husband. Their stronger sex life means a stronger marriage… which makes for a stronger family… and stronger families make for a stronger society. Don’t you agree?
Heck, maybe this book will get me nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize! HA!
Wishing every married couple in the world the BEST sex life possible,
Shannon

I’m one of the pastors at Flamingo Road Church (8500 in wknd attendance). After seeing you on the Today show, running out to buy your book, then divin’ into it, I had to let the masses know about it. So today, I put your book as a post at http://www.leadHership.net. For our community & church, I hope the results are lots of healed hearts in the wives’ lives AND lots of smiles on their husband’s faces (wink, wink)!!!
Very grateful, Heather

A friend suggested your book to me last week. I hadn’t heard about it yet. I bought it from B&N online and received it this evening. I just finished the first chapter and cannot wait to get more into it. For the first time in any book I’ve read, I really feel like you’ve been in my head!! THANK YOU so much….I’ll be back!

Shannon,
Saw you on “Today.” You were so cute and fun, spunky, and adorable! You showed that women can be confident and have fun and don’t have to be sluts to do so! Thanks!

Shannon,
While I am sad to say I did not see you on the today show, I am glad that I randomly came across your book in Barnes and Noble just yesterday. I am still a young wife compared to many and only being married two years you would think I was still in the honeymoon phase. I am so blessed to have an amazing husband, but I do have some past abuse that seems to be a problem quite often for me. I’ve only read the first chapter of your book but by the third page I knew God was at work in my Marriage. Praise God for answering prayers before you even know you prayed them. Thank you for putting confidence back in our lifes.
