7 Days Until Launch: INK - Discover the Power of the Pen in a Digital World

My sincere hope is that through the power of the pen, you will find ways to deepen your connections with those around you.

Author's Background

I am Rod Gray, a seasoned leader with over 30 years of experience in the corporate and nonprofit sectors. Known for my servant leadership approach and expertise in building authentic relationships, I am passionate about creating a movement through the simple act of handwritten correspondence. My goal is to foster meaningful connections in a fast-paced digital world.

INK is designed for anyone seeking personal growth—whether you're a busy professional, a student, or someone eager to enhance personal and professional relationships through the art of handwritten correspondence. This book serves as a valuable resource for those ready to embark on a journey of self-improvement through the power of the pen.

Here’s what some early readers have shared about INK:

 "There is just something powerful about personal connection. In a digital world, we lose that, and so many things become generic rather than personal and meaningful. Rod Gray's book will demonstrate the power of a personal note or message that transcends the digital world and reaches the heart of the individual. This is a much-needed book that will change how you communicate and influence how people reciprocate. I highly recommend this new book by Rod W. Gray!"  

— Craig Johnson, Associate Pastor | Lakewood Church, Founder of Champions Clubs  

 "The pen isn't just mightier than the sword. In an increasingly automated, AI-driven world, people are dying to hear from others. That makes the old-school practice of handwritten notes the new secret weapon in building relationships. Read Rod's book. It will change your relationships for good."  

— William Vanderbloemen, Founder and CEO | Vanderbloemen Search Group  

I invite you to purchase INK: Discover the Power of the Pen in a Digital World on Tuesday, November 4th, available on Amazon and wherever books are sold.
