Virtual Book Tour: Spring Roundup!

EOTH CoverEyes of the Heart: Photography as a Christian Contemplative Practice was published in April by Ave Maria Press, and I have been so grateful for the wonderful reception!

I embarked on an almost two-month long Virtual Book Tour (ah, the wonders of the internet!) and am so grateful to everyone who participated, wrote reviews, hosted guest posts, and conducted interviews.  I am really in awe at the generous response.

I have compiled the whole tour below broken down by category so it is easier now to find what you might be looking for.  Several guest posts from me on the contemplative life, as well as interviews (and even two you can listen to), a webinar, and several amazing reviews.

The main part of the Virtual Book Tour is complete, but there will still be a few reviews and interviews over the summer.  And if you would still like to participate, just send me an email!
