Congratulations Kyle! Great to see so many people who are ready to put their money where your mouth is.
Creator Marloes Busscher on June 1, 2012
I backed your project!
Congratulations with reaching your 3,000 goal!
Creator Kyle Scheele on May 21, 2012
Truer words have never been spoken, Dean. Or written. 2 out of 3 ain't bad at all.
Creator Dean Ferguson on May 21, 2012
Can't wait to get the book in my hands! Read what you have posted and connected with everything you said. Oh and thanks for giving Goeden and I the White House number. I have several great stories because of it myself. Even got the Capitol Building number from them... still can't get the Supreme Court number, but 2 out of 3 isn't that bad!
Creator Kyle Scheele on May 18, 2012
Haha. Guilty as charged.
Creator Mike Scheele on May 18, 2012
Dream on. Let's ask Lindsay if there are times when your awesomeness fades. I suspect she would tell a different story, unless you are writing her posts for her again (like you've done in the past)
Creator Kyle Scheele on May 18, 2012
Hahahahaha. Thanks dad! You spelled it right the second time. The only thing I can say is that your review can't be trusted since you mention a time when I wasn't awesome. That obviously never happened.
Creator Mike Scheele on May 18, 2012
I think my post speaks for itself. I can't even spell awesome, so obviously my suggestions didn't help the text.
Creator Mike Scheele on May 18, 2012
While I know this is an awsome book because:
1. Kyle is our son and we could do no less than awesome.
2. I helped him by proofreading the manuscript (and I'm sure many of the awesome points are ones that I helped on) [not really, my suggestions were just punctuation issues that were probably wrong anyway]
3. I remember when he wasn't awesome and he's a lot better now.
But I know this is an awesome book because I have seen him speak to groups of teenagers and he can connect to them in ways I didn't think was possible. I think this book will be a great adjunct to his speaking engagements and allow teens the time and tools to take his message and make it theirs.

Ryan,
Hahahahaha. The funny thing is, there's a guy in the book named Ryan who is a pathological liar. That can be your prize for being the 80th backer. Also, that time I bought you lunch at Amigo's.
Creator Ryan Goeden on May 17, 2012
I am sincerely excited to read this book. The only thing I ask is when you sign my book you make it out to "your mentor."
I would also like to point I was the 80th backer. I should get something for that...
Creator Kyle Scheele on May 15, 2012
Haha. Good thinking. I'll go ahead and throw it on the cover, too.
Creator Joseph Keil on May 15, 2012
When you put my name in the book, can you go ahead and put it behind the part that says "Written by"? Thanks. I appreciate it.
Creator Kyle Scheele on May 12, 2012
Thanks Gabriel!
Creator Gabriel Sebastian Jönsson on May 12, 2012
Woho! So excited for the book!
Creator Kyle Scheele on May 10, 2012
Thanks Jamie. Your beard growing powers are already pretty substantial, so I can only imagine what will happen once you get the book!
Creator Jamie Bell on May 10, 2012
So excited for this book and the beard growing powers I will possess! It is a timely message that needs to be discussed in churches and families alike.
Creator Kyle Scheele on May 10, 2012
Thanks Mitch! But it's a book, not a staple. :)
Creator Mitchell Dong on May 10, 2012
Kyle, I am really excited to get the book. It is about time a book like this came out. It sounds like it should be a staple in every church's library.
Creator Kyle Scheele on May 10, 2012
I know man! I'm pretty blown away by the whole thing. Seems like the concept really strikes a chord with people. Can't wait to see where this thing ends up.
Creator Brooks on May 10, 2012
It's amazing how fast your reached your goal. Looking forward to see what it ends up at
Creator Kyle Scheele on May 10, 2012
Nathan,
I'm looking into ebook opinions currently. At this point, the only thing I can guarantee is the pdf. If there is a way to distribute an ebook for free, backers will definitely get a copy. Some markets (like Amazon, I believe) only allow you to make the book free under certain circumstances. This is a great question, although it's one I can't currently answer very well!
Creator Nathan Mallonee on May 9, 2012
Will this be an e-book as well? And if so, can your backers get an e-book version?
Creator Kyle Scheele on May 9, 2012
Good question Darian. The goal is to have the book ready to print as soon as the campaign ends (I have to wait until then to make sure all the backers get their names in the acknowledgments). If that happens, we're looking at late June/early July for the books to be in hand.
Creator Darian on May 9, 2012
Any projected time for print release? Thinking this could be a really cool resource for district youth camps this summer or youth groups as students head into the fall semester of school...
Creator Lisa Klug on May 9, 2012
Cannot wait to read your book!! I'm not sure who will get to read it first.... my teen daughter or me :)
Creator Kate on May 9, 2012
SO excited to get my copy of Kyle's book! I know it's gonna be a book that I don't want to put down!
Creator Ben Bennitt on May 9, 2012
Looking forward to reading this!
Creator Kyle Scheele on May 7, 2012
You caught me, Brooks!
Creator Brooks on May 7, 2012
Jokes on us, Kyle only wrote six chapters and is feverishly writing the rest of the book as I type.
Just kidding guys!
Creator Kyle Scheele on May 6, 2012
Thanks Caitlin!
Creator Caitlin Acker on May 6, 2012
Best of luck! You are very funny... can't wait to read the book!
Creator Kyle Scheele on May 5, 2012
Awesome! Thanks John-Erik!
Creator John-Erik Moseler on May 5, 2012
Looking forward to handing out to my students.
Creator Kyle Scheele on May 4, 2012
Thanks Zen! Long time no see. Hope you're doing well, friend.
Creator Jonathan Roberts on May 4, 2012
Loved the video and I look forward to reading the book.
