I’m partnering with Justin Blaney to help him spread the word about his fun new book series, Isfits.
He’s launching the series with a Kickstarter campaign — he wants to turn these fun/unique stories into full-color, hardback, glossy-paged books.
Who’s Justin? Justin Blaney is a virtuoso, he does a little of everything, but one of the coolest things he does (besides writing amazing stories) is run an organization called Innovate for Jesus (resources for pastors, ministry leaders, non profits, authors, etc.). The site features people like Francis Chan, Rick Warren, Pete Wilson, Matt Chandler, Mary DeMuth, and more.
Besides the super cool graphics, what is special about Isfits? Justin is releasing his Isfits series in the general kids book market rather than as Christian releases. His hope is to spread the gospel message to children who aren’t normally exposed to Christian content.
What Is Isfits?
- Postmodern fairytales & cautionary confessions
- A cast of characters sampled from icons of adolescence, re-imagined.
- A completely new genre of fiction. Since that’s hard to describe, let’s call it a graphic novel like you’ve never seen before.
- Nearly 200 original designs, optimized for inspirational display in your home, office.

The Review: Cinderella Goes to the Potty! I was very excited to read the new Isfits book from Justin Blaney; Cinderella Goes to the Potty. I have never heard of an “Isfits” before nor a graphic novel so this was new to me! In this book, Cinderella has been scratching a line on the ceiling for 999 nights when the clock strikes midnight. She had made a promise to herself that she would not remain in the room to see the 1000 strike. When the clock begins to chime on the 1000 night, Cinderella is forced to make a big decision – a decision that will change her life! The novel was short but intense and upbeat. It is written in a way that makes you want to keep turning the page. It has an intense way of writing that draws you in to the story. You can almost imagine the characters as alive, a suspenseful music playing faster and faster as you approach the ending of the novel. The artistry in this novel is incredible. The pages jump out at you with skill and draw you into their world. If you are interested, you can purchase the book here. Disclosure: I received Cinderella Goes to the Potty as part of this review. All opinions expressed are my own.
