After a long season filled with other priorities, I’m thrilled to share that The Battle, God’s Armor, and Wonderful Freedom is so close to being finished! The final draft is underway, and I hope to send it off to publishers in just a few weeks.
Right now, I’m focusing on rewriting the first two chapters—they needed the most attention. Once those are polished, it’s all about cleaning up the rest of the book to make it the best it can be. I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who’s taken the time to read drafts and offer feedback. Your input has been invaluable, and I couldn’t have made it this far without your encouragement.
This process has been a labor of love, and I can’t wait to see what God will do with this book. Thank you for following along on this journey. Here’s to wrapping it up and stepping into the next chapter (pun intended)!
I am thrilled to share that I have just finished writing the third draft of my book, “The Battle, God’s Armor, and Wonderful Freedom.” This journey has been both challenging and rewarding, as I’ve poured my heart and soul into these pages since December. Now, as I move into the next season of this project, I am placing this rough document into the hands of a few trusted readers and editors. Their insights and feedback will be invaluable in refining and improving the content, helping me to ensure that the final version is as impactful and inspiring as I hope it will be.
Handing over my manuscript feels both exciting and nerve-wracking. These readers will be the first to see the culmination of my efforts, the thoughts and reflections that have occupied my mind for months. It’s a bit like opening a window into my soul, allowing others to glimpse the ideas and messages that I believe God has placed on my heart. Their fresh perspectives will undoubtedly shed light on areas that need polishing and highlight strengths I might not have fully appreciated.
For the next few weeks, I plan to set the manuscript aside and patiently await their feedback. This process of waiting is an interesting phase in the book writing journey. It’s a time to step back, take a breath, and trust in the collaborative effort to bring this vision to life. Writing a book is indeed a unique adventure, filled with moments of inspiration, hard work, and a lot of faith. I am eager to see how this next chapter unfolds and to continue refining “The Battle, God’s Armor, and Wonderful Freedom” into a book that will touch and transform lives.
Hello everyone,
(note on picture: I described myself to ChatGPT and this is what it made. Remarkably accurate if you ask me! ha!)
Hello everyone,
I’m excited to bring you up to speed with the latest on my book-writing adventure! I’m now diving back into editing the second draft of my upcoming book. This phase is moving along quicker than the first draft, and I anticipate the third draft will be the swiftest yet.
The journey hasn’t been without its delays, primarily due to my recent and upcoming engagements. Last week, I had the privilege of teaching 1 & 2 Peter and Jude at Scotland Bible School. Looking ahead, this Friday, I'll be in Edinburgh presenting a workshop on the effectiveness of church planting via video locations, as we practice at our Paisley and Royston sites. The session aims to explore why and how this method could serve as a viable church planting option in Scotland.
Despite my busy schedule, returning to my writing has been exciting. Thank you all for your steadfast support and encouragement.
