A Sample: The Anger Altar
This is draft 47b of Chapter Two of a book proposal I’m working on. It has no working title yet, but the subtitle is “12 Spiritual Practices for Soulful Kids.” This material, as all material on this site, is copyrighted by Rachelle Mee-Chapman and should not be reprinted without permission. This post will be removed in 48 hrs. Enjoy your taste tester!
So sorry, in an attempt to not tip my hand too much, I’ve removed this material to keep you hungry for more. (Yep, shameless marketing and self preservation going on here. What can I say? I’m trying to be saavy.)
If you are a publisher or agent and would like to see a proposal, I’d be happy to send you one. Thanks for stopping by!

What a perfect and timely piece. My 4 year old daughter had a complete breakdown today which I still don’t entirely understand but it’s hugely helpful to read this and see the creative way you’ve found to deal with this kind of frustration.
Oh, and broken plates make wonderful material for mosaics :-)

Wow Rachelle! This is amazing work…good, good job! It’ll be a joy to have this in hand when you finish! Sorry I don’t know a publisher, but no doubt your dreams will come true! And I love the ideas and other book inspirations. My book want list is growing daily! ;) Thank you! –K

Thanks! Karla sent me over here and said I’d better get here soon since you wouldn’t be leaving the excerpt up for long. Blessings, Leah in San Diego

Magpie Ima,
Tee Hee! The mosaic party happens in part two of the chapter! :-)
FYI for all, the final part of each chapter contains some YBH (’yes, but how’) and ideas for adapting each practice to various faith traditions. Oooo…this is so much fun!

[...] For now, you can sample the chapter on the Anger Altar at my other site here. I’ll be keeping it up for two days and then selfishly taking back down again to hoard it for a book offer. [...]
