How Daniel Geraci uses his book to introduce a mission
Daniel Geraci wants more churches ready to serve their communities when disaster strikes. His book, United in Crisis, gives people a way to understand that work and consider their place in it.
He shares the book through Storybase. Readers can claim access, share their contact information with permission, and answer questions that give Daniel context for the next conversation.
As of September 18, 2026, 47 readers had claimed a shared copy and given Daniel permission to keep their contact details. Of those readers, 46 had answered access-form questions.
The book introduces the work
Daniel is the founder of United in Crisis, which equips churches to form local crisis-response networks. In his book, he draws on his experience founding the Austin Disaster Relief Network and helping churches respond together when their neighbors need help.
For Daniel, a book is a way to explain the mission beyond a single conversation. A church leader, potential volunteer, or supporter can spend time with the stories and understand what a prepared network can do.

The invitation gives readers a way in
On Storybase, Daniel has created personal book offers as well as an offer that multiple people can claim. The invitation leads to the book and its access form.
That form brings the reader into the relationship. Along with permission to share contact details, readers can answer Daniel’s questions before opening the book. His team has both a way to reach them and context for the conversation.
What the records show
We checked the production records for Daniel’s published edition of United in Crisis. The following counts exclude Daniel’s author accounts and Storybase administrators.
| Activity | Unique reader accounts |
|---|---|
| Claimed a shared copy and gave contact permission | 47 |
| Answered access-form questions within that group | 46 |
| Had saved reading or listening progress across the book’s reader audience | 18 |
The 18 accounts with saved progress are counted across the book’s 49 reader accounts with recorded access, including purchases. They are a separate measure from the 47 contacts above.
These are cumulative records through September 18, 2026, in US Central time. A claim means a reader accepted access; saved progress means the app recorded reading or listening activity. Neither count measures book completion. Multiple claims, answers, and reading sessions from the same account count once within each measure.
A foundation for the next conversation
The book introduces Daniel’s vision. Storybase gives interested readers a place to receive it and gives Daniel a way to keep the conversation going.
That is the starting point for his goal of reaching more church leaders, volunteers, and supporters. The results here measure reader access and contact capture. Donor gifts, volunteer signups, and new church partnerships are separate outcomes and are not included in these figures.
Build a reader journey around your own goal
Start with the people your book is meant to reach. Give them a clear invitation, ask what you need to understand about them, and decide how you will continue the conversation.
