Out of the blue someone who was doing NaNoWriMo with me "happened" to go to my website and see I'd had a book published since we were last in contact. She immediately ordered it and let me know. A few weeks later she wrote and told me she'd ordered 12 copies to send to all the womenfolk in her family. WOW that was a great feeling. All the more so because she doesn't claim to be a Christian, yet she was blessed by the book. Now THAT'S why I write!

I've been a firm believer in the power of literature since Bible College days. I believe we as writers in whatever genre can be God's 'co-labourers' in presenting various aspects of God's grace, glory and holiness. Last night I went to a Gideon's meeting and listened to a woman's testimony via DVD. She was a teacher at a school where the Gideon's were placing their N.T.'s She was angry and resentful for their presence but took a bible. It was unread for six years. A crisis arose in her life and that N.T was waiting for her. It literally saved and transformed her life. That's why I like the witten word. We may never know the good the Lord does through what we have written, even if it sits on someones shelf for an unknown length of time. <br /><br />Thank you for blessing me through your writing, especially this article.Ray Hawkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17720158812896505028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-63556169992245600562014-04-10T23:47:17.707-07:002014-04-10T23:47:17.707-07:00Glad you liked it Paula.Glad you liked it Paula.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14217918666756258037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-8640322525120340432014-04-10T23:46:50.191-07:002014-04-10T23:46:50.191-07:00Not on Facebook Rita so maybe on Goodreads?
