ANNOUNCEMENT: The Revised and Updated Re-Release of Mad Church Disease (+ more!)

Backstory: In 2005, because of the decisions she made to overwork herself and stay busy “doing” things for God and not “being” with Him, in combination with being in a toxic church environment, a girl named Anne found herself in the hospital for  a week, a battery of tests tried to determine why there was so much inflammation in her digestive system.

It wasn’t just that. She gained forty pounds in the two years she was serving in the church full time. She was having panic attacks and acid reflux and was on a diet of espresso and sleeping pills just so she could wake up and go to sleep each and every day.

After the hospital visit, she quit her job, got counseling, and set out on a mission to help anyone serving in ministry stay healthy – volunteers, staff, and friends of those who serve.

That girl was me.

This was the first time I saw my book Mad Church Disease in a store – Borders on West End in Nashville! It was a cool moment!

In 2009, the book Mad Church Disease: Overcoming the Burnout Epidemic released through a traditional publisher.

In February 2013, I found out from a  bookstore that when he tried to replenish his stock of Mad Church Disease, the order came back with the error: OUT OF PRINT. Because of whatever happens in the publishing world, they chose not to reprint it after there were none left which meant I never had a chance to buy any. Except for audio, eBook and used copies, they were literally all gone. And those are slowly disappearing too.

This came with no warning from the publisher. After many emails and many hours studying the original contract, I learned this “Out of Print” scare was really a blessing in disguise. Why?

Because now, I have all the rights to every format. Now, I can update it with so, so, so much I have learned from listening to others and in my own walk. I can make study guides for it and offer staff assessments and…well, the possibilities are endless!

(Plus I get to put my sweet new name on it: Anne Marie Miller.)

mad-church-revisedSince I am wrapping up writing Book #3, I will spend this summer re-writing, revising, updating, scheming, praying over and for this new book.

I won’t lie – when I first heard from the bookstore manager that it was out of print, I was angry. Not because of anything monetary, but because several times a week I hear from someone that says this book truly helped them.

This message is NOT one that can be pulled from the shelves and I vowed to fight tooth-and-nail to make that happen.

I didn’t happen in the way I imagined it, but it happend in the way it was meant to be.

In the fall, after my new website launches, the next “big thing” will be the re-release of Mad Church Disease (and its many helpful counterparts).

For instance…

  • The updated book (eBook or print)
  • An updated study guide
  • A staff or team assessment tool for leaders
  • Coaching options
  • Web classes
  • Private consultations
  • Church workshops
  • Retreats

With the launch of the new website and all that is and has changed, I want to be sure to keep in touch with those who want to hear about what this new release has to offer. It would mean the world to me if you’d let me have your email address (I won’t do anything with it other than to keep in touch).

With that, for everyone who is subscribed before the re-launch of Mad Church Disease, I promise you not only will you be the first to know, you’ll be the first to have a chance to get it – and a few other things – for free. That won’t be a public offering.

You can sign up below! (*if you have a pop-up or ad block extension, it may not work. if that’s the case, click here and it will go to the form).

Any questions? I’m all ears.
