Who Do You Write For? Is Your Writing a Calling or Offering?

 ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MY GUESTS

A team effort in writing the newly released primer for Christian Fiction Writers

~ WRITING IN OBEDIENCE ~

 WELCOME

TERRY BURNS  ~ an agent with Hartline Literary Agency for more than five years, but he's been with the agency as a client for ten.
He has a substantial list of clients, and he's a reputation for presenting to conferences all over the country. He's taught at least one online course through the month-long  ACFW Course Loop and the fact he wears a cowboy hat has something to do with that particular course. Ask him about that.
Terry has over forty books of his own in print.

~ And Co-Author~

LINDA W. YEZAK ~ In case you've read some of the other books Linda has authored, you'll not be surprised that she's in love with horses and someday would LOVE to own her own stable full of them. . .in the mean time she manages to coral them into the books she writes.
Linda holds a BA in English, a graduate certificate in Paralegal Studies, and she says she has a bucket list as long as her arm.
Linda is under contract to Harborlight Books and has been a freelance editor for sweveral years.  She hopes and plans to continue with her writing and editing careers until she can retire with  her husband to their land in Central Texas where she'll ride to her heart's content.

 NOW ABOUT THAT BOOK?

~ WRITING IN OBEDIENCE~

This easy-to-read and easy-to-understand book is FULL of great depth and information EVERY writer ~ creative person ~ should read. Although it's primarily for the Christian Fiction Writer ~ I found that anyone who does something using their God-given talents and gifts is going to benefit from having read this very special book~

I learned some valuable information while reading this book and I have to admit - there are more red lines under scoring sentences in this book than there are in many of the books I had to read for school, college, or writing study. 

I learned things about myself while reading this book ~ learned things I'm sure God intended I glean right NOW at this very point with my own writing ~ BUT ~ I learned MORE than how to determine if I'm writing in accordance to God's will or mandate. God has used WRITING IN OBEDIENCE as an affirmation and confirmation in some of those dot-to-dots He's been connecting in my life over the last few years. One more dot in my personal Journey To Joy ~ One more "I've got you in the palm of My hand, Joy."

When I responded to Linda's request for a review or influence for this book, I was immediately prompted to do it, although I'd had all the books I'd planned to review on my blog this year sitting in a pile at the end of my desk. I've not reviewed many Non-fiction books ~ BUT GOD ~ gave me a head-thwack as only He can do, and I emailed Linda right away. She graciously extended me the privilege to choose a date and time for my blog post and sent me material I requested.
