Learning to Read and Write Again
I believe God wants me to be a lifelong learner. To inform my mind for his glory, for the sake of all who live without the hope of Jesus, and for the building of my brothers and sisters in Christ.

Cultivating an appreciation for good writing is important for leaders. You should also explicitly affirm a diversity of word gifts and value culture-making. Don’t deny the urgency of gospel ministry but do make clear that all kinds of work are can be done ‘as to the Lord’.
I wanted books that taught children about the wonder of God without belittling God or them. Books that acknowledged the child’s stage of development, their sense of fun and personality, while also inviting them into a genuine life of faith.
I have been ministered to by so many good books, whether sacred or secular. My imaginative world has been shaped by great books. I write because I know how blessed I’ve been by writers, so I want to be that blessing.
Writing has connected me with whole communities of non-Christians who need to hear the gospel but who do not necessarily know other Christians. God has been kind in gifting me with opportunities to share my faith, but that sort of pre-evangelism and evangelism is hard and lonely work.
