The Praying Writer Carol Peterson

Each part of the writing process requires different skills and effort, and involves varying emotions, from uncertainty and frustration, to joy and satisfaction. Whatever part of the writing process, the Holy Spirit is right there waiting to be a counselor and friend. Just as an understanding of voice and pacing are part of a writer's toolbox, so too--in writing, as in life--prayer should be the tool most used. The Praying Writer recognizes writers' struggle with the creation process. It provides words of encouragement, Scripture, short prayers and prompts to help the writer during each phase of a project. The book is dedicated to writers whose ministry it is to use their skill with the written word to honor God and point others to Him.
