Plant Your Book in the Wild

This Week’s Tip: Plant Your Book in the Wild

Sometimes the most powerful way to share your message isn’t a marketing campaign—it’s a simple, Spirit-led act of obedience.

If your book has impacted someone, it may be time for them to pass it on.

📌 What to Do This Week:

Invite your readers to plant their book somewhere unexpected.

Encourage them to leave a copy where someone might stumble across it at just the right time.

A hospital or doctor's waiting room
A retreat center bookshelf
A break room or lunch table
A coffee shop prayer corner
Laundry mat community table
Blessing boxes or little free libraries
A women’s or men's ministry closet
A hotel nightstand
In a care basket for a neighbor or teacher

And before they leave it behind, ask them to pause and pray: “Lord, put this book in the hands of the person who needs it most.”

You can share this gentle prompt with your readers on social media, email, or however you choose to communicate with them:

“If this book spoke to you, consider leaving it for someone else to find—and ask the Lord to guide it to the right heart.”

To make this tip a bit more special, we’ve created on canva.com 4 editable “This book was left here for you” sharing card options that you or your readers can print, personalize, and tuck into the book before planting it.

📌 Why This Works:

It’s relational, not promotional—and deeply personal.
It shifts the focus from sales to spiritual impact.
It’s slow, quiet, faithful marketing that God can multiply in ways we’ll never see.

Try this today! Planting your book in the wild is a small act of obedience with eternal potential, but don’t just ask your readers to plant your book, make sure you do it as well.

Hit reply and tell us—where are you considering leaving a copy of your book this week?

Until next week...
