  As an author, I've discovered that many of my peculiar challenges, struggles and joys are shared by other writers. Thus, the need for a devotional that helps writers at their point of need. Marcia Laycock bares her writer's soul, first to the Lord, then to the printed page, helping fellow writers draw closer to God as they pursue their often ill-understood passion. She writes a story from her life, includes a reflection upon a Scripture, and often includes an apt quote from people as diverse as Thoreau, Madeleine L'Engle and Henry Nouwen. Some of my favorite quotes: "The gift of language is God's instrument in our hands. May we use it wisely with humility and grace, to his glory." W.O. Mitchell - "The most constant state of an artist is uncertainty." Book industry expert Ross Laird - "Freedom for writers today means finding joy in the turbulence." Highly recommended for Christian authors.
