Please welcome this weeks guest Ada Nicholson Brownell for The Journey. She answers the question: How have you seen God work in your writing journey? THE FIRE STILL BURNS When elected president of the youth group in my home church at age 15, our services weren’t the usual three songs and a speaker. We had a service where admission to the meeting was a mirror. The words to the music were backward, so the youth had to look in a mirror to read them. The speaker spoke on our lives … [Read more...]
The Journey with Terri Main
Please welcome this weeks guest Terri Main for The Journey. She answers the question: How have you seen God work in your writing journey? When I was 18, and recently published, I knelt at the altar one night after church. My knees still worked back then. Now, when I kneel, it's a matter of faith that I'll be able to stand up again. I laid my new pen, the one given to my by my parents as a graduation gift, on the altar and pledged myself to write for God. That was 43 years ago, and I have … [Read more...]
The Journey with Jean Davis
Please welcome this weeks guest Jean Davis for The Journey. She answers the question: How have you seen God work in your writing journey? Ben cheats. I was at a meeting of a Christian writers’ group a few years ago. We’d been given a writing prompt with fifteen minutes to write. I didn’t want to read out loud the drivel I’d come up with. But when it was Ben’s turn, he received accolades. “That’s great, Ben! You wrote that just now?” someone asked. “How did you do that? Your piece … [Read more...]

It started eight years ago when I first started writing. Like any writer, I dreamed of publishing a novel. It was a long process.

The Journey with Kathy Harris
Please welcome this weeks guest Kathy Harris for The Journey. She answers the question: How have you seen God work in your writing journey? I’ve often wondered how we can know at a young age what we want to pursue in life. No doubt God places the desire within our heart as a calling to be fulfilled at the time and place He ordains, the path remaining uncertain. By the time I was seven or eight, I knew I wanted to be a writer, and I followed that dream through high school and college. … [Read more...]

Please welcome this weeks guest Anne Mateer for The Journey. She answers the question: How have you seen God work in your writing journey? My writing journey began way back in middle school, when I dreamed of someday writing historical fiction. I was quite prolific through my teenaged years.

But in 2000, when my youngest child went to kindergarden, I embarked on the writing life with a new … [Read more...]
The Journey with Linda Samaritoni
Please welcome this weeks guest Linda Samaritoni for The Journey. She answers the question: How have you seen God work in your writing journey? 1977. That was the year Living Water rushed over me like a dam break; its torrent carried off the debris of my sins and deposited a new, pure me in the calm, clear pool of Christ’s love. That was the year I consciously began my journey with Jesus. Having attended church all my life, worship took on new meaning. Instead of walking out of the service … [Read more...]
The Journey with JoAnn Durgin
Please welcome this weeks guest JoAnn Durgin for The Journey. She answers the question: How have you seen God work in your writing journey? Have I always known I wanted to be a writer? No, but I’ve been a voracious reader my entire life. Nothing thrilled me more than getting those Scholastic leaflets in elementary school. I poured over them, studied them and had a ball choosing which books to get. The days the books arrived were great. I’m really not a strange person, but even the smell of … [Read more...]

This week I have a two part series for The Journey. Today is part one of The Journey with Kathleen E. Kovach. Please welcome her as she answers the question: How have you seen God work in your writing journey? I have told stories all my life. Before I could form letters, I would chatter in the backseat of the family car, spinning yarns that would make my older sister roll her eyes and declare, “Mom! Make her stop!” Once I learned how to write, my stories filled notebooks. Psalm 139:13 says … [Read more...]
