Looking Out The Window: Writing From The Trenches, A New Book On Writing Techniques By Those Who've Been There

Ten Authors Provide Experience and Expertise On Writing They've been on the front lines of publishing and lived to teach about it in Writing from the Trenches A Warm Welcome To   Connie Almony, Lynnette Bonner, Hallee Bridgeman, Louise Gouge, Michelle Griep, Julie Lessman, Elizabeth Ludwig, Ane Mulligan, MaryLu Tyndall, and Erica Vetsch. How Writing from the Trenches was Born By MaryLu Tyndall Who in their right mind would attempt to create a writing instruction book with nine other authors? It’s hard enough to co-write anything with two different personalities. But nine? Especially because most authors—well, how do I put this gently?—we are an eccentric bunch.

Looking Out The Window: Linda Rondeau Talks About Her New Book, Hosea's Heart, Shares A Devotional, Gives Away An E-book

A Warm Welcome to Linda Rondeau Linda will give away an e-book of Hosea's Heart. To enter to win leave a comment and an email address below Linda Shares a Devotional based on a passage from Hosea Hosea Chapter 12 talks about Jacob's journey, how God called him and blessed him though he'd been a deceiver, how he wrestled with the angel until he submitted. Jacob's family was riddled with strife. With two wives, sisters who obviously had serious jealousy issues, and two concubines who squabbled as well, and twelve sons who fought continuously. So fierce was there jealousy, they plotted to murder their little brother. Joseph's story is familiar. God used the dysfunction of a family to save a nation.
