Write my answer on a billboard, large and clear, Is this the year you’re going to finally begin or complete the book you feel called to write? Or, more realistically, do you want to write short stories, articles, devotionals, or poetry but have had a hard time getting started? I believe the need to “write His answer” and the opportunities to reach the world through blogs and eBooks as well as through both print and online magazines and traditionally published books has never been greater. But, as Ecclesiastes 5:7 says, “Dreaming instead of doing is foolishness, and there is ruin in a flood of empty words” (TLB). If you are not part of a Christian writers group, I want to encourage you to check out the listing of groups in The Christian Writer’s Market Guide 2015-2016. Copies of this important resource can be ordered through the Write His Answer Bookstore at 25% off. Click here for “Helps for Forming Critique Groups” if you believe Father is leading you to start and group and here for “The Critique Group Process.” If you live in the Philadelphia area, you are welcome to visit the Christian Writers Fellowship (CWF) that meets in my Lansdale home once a month on a Thursday morning. Our first 2016 meeting is this coming Thursday, January 14, at 10:00 am. Directions and dates for each month are on my newly designed website at http://www.writehisanswer.com/greaterphillychristianwriters/. Whether or not you can come, I hope you’ll make time (it will take less than 10 minutes) to read Chapter 2, “Look to Jesus,” from my book, Write His Answer – A Bible Study for Christian Writers. Click here for it and other free resources to encourage and equip you to write about a God who is real, who is reachable, and who changes lives. Father, help all of us to “look to Jesus” as we seek to live and write Your answer throughout this new year. |
Write His Answer is not just a book to read and put down . . . I keep my copy close to my manuscript and journals, dog-eared and tattered from use. I purchased the original version years ago at the Greater Philadelphia Christian Writers Conference when I had no idea how to begin a writing ministry. Although I’m excited about getting the new edition, my first copy filled with personal notes is simply irreplaceable. More than a devotional or a “how-to-and-continue-on” manual, Write His Answer is written by a woman who knows the heart of God and the heart of a writer. This has been a rich resource to encourage and challenge me to respond and remain faithful to God’s call and use His Word as my guidance for every page. This is a classic . . . for keeps. ~ Verna Bowman
