This week, I am teaching and giving a keynote address at a brand new conference for Christian writers based in Texas. The hearts of the organizers for ministering to Christian writers are so beautiful and inspiring. It's a small, intimate conference, but I feel that God is moving here, and I'm thrilled to play a part. The conference is being held at a lovely Christian retreat center in … [Read more...]
