Soon after I began following Jesus, I sensed a desire to write Christian books. I cobbled together a manuscript and mailed it to fifteen publishers. Fourteen rejected it. I was beginning to think I should take the hint when one said, \u201cYes.\u201d Before I knew it, my writing ministry was airborne.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been over forty years and nearly fifty books. I seem to have more book ideas than I have time to write them. I am a testimony to God\u2019s provision. Trust him. If he calls you, he will equip you.\u00a0He will give you what you need when you need it.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work\u201d (2 Corinthians 9:8 NKJV).<\/p>\n
