NR. How many books have you written to date?
Marilynn Dawson: So far, I've written one series, "Becoming the Bride of Christ: A Personal Journey", a grad gift, "Mom's Little Black Book: Godly Advice for the High School Graduate", an e-book, "Practical Thoughts on Becoming an Author", which I've turned into a $15 22-day e-course, and my latest book to be published was "Dressed for Eternity", which launched back in February.

NR. What book are you working on now?
Marilynn Dawson: Right now I have a new book just being released, called "A Year in Prayer With Jesus" where I encourage the reader to join me on a year-long journey through The Lord's Prayer as an outline, for the full 365 days.

NR. Do you have a sample of your work?
Actually, yes I do! In fact I have samples available of all my works to date, over at my Facebook author page (https://www.facebook.com/Marilynn.Dawson.Author). The sample for, "A Year in Prayer With Jesus" covers one month only, but should give a decent idea of the rest of the book in that one month experience.

Every author dreams their book will hit it big. What are your dreams for this particular book?
It is a dream of mine to have 365 people purchase this book in paperback, PDF, epub, or mobi, and each of these people begin "A Year in Prayer With Jesus" on 365 consequtive dates! For those prayer prompts where people groups, language families, nations and missions organizations are presented, this dream would have them covered by someone every single day for an entire year! As a Christian who strongly believes in the power of prayer, the thought of so many people engaged in consistent effort on behalf of others just gets me all excited!
