Hi, I’m Linda J. White writing from Somerville, Virginia, where the cherry trees and Bradford pears are in full bloom, blowing blossoms everywhere and proclaiming the beauty of God’s creation. As writers, we, too long to bloom, to create, to proclaim his name to the four corners of the world. We write our hearts out, and then, well, how do we tell the world about it?

Stories, Parables & Movie Scripts: Basic screenplay writing with reference to HOW TO SUCCEED IN HOLLYWOOD (WITHOUT LOSING YOUR SOUL) Part VI The Starting Christian Filmmaker Problem
Children learn to crawl before they walk. The Kendrick Brothers made FLYWHEEL before they made WAR ROOM. FLYWHEEL was terrific for what it was: a beginning; but, beginning movies can present problems. It’s wonderful that Christian interest in filmmaking is growing rapidly. It’s problematic that less than professional movies come to market and don’t do well. It’s a big problem when audiences are disappointed and investors lose money. Disappointment leads to distrust and makes it harder even good movies. Unsuccessful Christian movies even hurt Movieguide®’s ability to encourage Hollywood. Our truthful message to Hollywood is that Christian content and high…

Never Give Up
Dianne Barker here with encouragement. “When Joshua was old and well advanced in years, the Lord said to him, ‘You are very old, and there are still very large areas of land to be taken over’” (Joshua 13:1 NIV). The Amplified Bible notes he was over 100 at this time. You might wonder why I find this verse encouraging.
Three Ways to Beat the Writer Blues
Hi Everyone, it’s Judith Couchman. My assignment for this year focuses on blogging about writing: technique; practical pointers, encouragement, and such. I hope this helps you on the writing journey. Some people call it writer’s block. I call it writer blues. You just can’t face that writing project today, or tomorrow, or next week. Or you can’t think of a stunning idea. But a deadline looms, and you need a boost. A host of suggestions can help you get unstuck. But rather than overload your brain and schedule, I’m offering a few that work for me.

The Prayer Warrior: The Syrophoenician Woman
Hello! It’s Kathy Collard Miller from the Southern Californian desert in the Palm Springs area. From Matthew 15:21-28 and Mark 7:24-30, we learn about the Syrophoenician woman who truly represents a prayer warrior. Her request is dire for her and her daughter. What’s amazing is she is a Gentile. In this account, Jesus goes to the region of Tyre and Sidon, on the Mediterranean coast. This is the only time Scripture indicates Jesus left the land of Israel. Just as he had to go through Samaria to meet the needy woman at the well, so he needs to leave his…
Ruining Your Book At The Last Minute
Welcome to the Christian Author Network (CAN) from Gail Gaymer Martin. Winter is fading in some areas of the country. I spend the winter in Sedona, Arizona and enjoy the spring days that stay with us through the winter, and bask in God’s glorious creations from our townhouse deck. The red rocks remind us of the Lord’s might, strength, and power, and we are blessed.
