Writer in Residence

Since last week, I've been the first writer in residence at a Christian Conference Center on the East Coast.

I'll be here for another week and a half. The writing is coming, because my outline is solid and the topic is engaging. I love what I'm writing about. I'm not sharing an info about title or theme until I've talked to a couple of publishers. The book will be somewhat controversial and out on the edge for evangelical publishers, but it's biblical and helpful. I am including some of the end matter I wrote for it:

This book can have tremendous potential in your life. What can reading this book do for you? Nothing. Except make you better informed about your high calling. But . . . what if you both read AND put what you read into practice? Change your mindset? If you really get into your life, the principles shared in this book, the Scriptures say that you will:

Come to Know God in a Deeper Way (or for the first time if you only knew ABOUT Him)
Be set Free from Sin and Self-direction.
Grow in character
Better understand the world around you and why things are as they are.
Be in a position to be more effective as a disciple of Christ
Relate better in all of your relationships (experiencing success with marriage, as a parent, with your fathers & mothers, civil and church authorities, employers, but especially with God).
See prosperity and blessing cover your life.
Sense a tremendous peace, fulfillment, and security daily.
Experience contentment
Be a real help to other people who don’t yet understand the principles that you will have learned.
Know where things are headed in history.
Be used as a restorer of the ancient places – Isa. 58.12 (this is all in the context of submitting to God’s law)

I uploaded some photos for friends and family to check out. You'll notice I"M working with two monitors. I find this really helpful. On the left, laptop monitor is my Logos Scholar's Library. On the right is MS Word and Notescraps. What a work environment. It's much better for my eyes as well. Especially toward the end of a four hour writing marathon.

Well . . . there you have it.

Catch you soon.
