At the library I was reading in we had six readers and their writing covered fiction, humour, biography, poetry and mine (Christian). A great array of voices from the past, imagination and eternity. I didn't count but there seemed to be over twenty listeners. There were laughs and there was pin-drop silence.
It was difficult reading to such a mixed audience. I could feel disapproval from the front right hand row. In fact those people would hardly look at me afterwards. Isn't it amazing how God's word and even words about Him convict! But there was also genuine interest. One listener came up afterwards and told me he was fasinated by what I had read. It had really made Him think and he was going to get my book KNOW GOD MORE out of the library.
This makes it all worthwhile. God is always working. He is always surprising.
The next day I spoke at the Christian Writer's Guild in the morning.I shared about my life and how God had worked in it in so many surprising ways and how He had impressed on me to transform this into books.I shared counselling theories to help them grow the depth of the characters they wrote about and dig deeper into truth so their writing made sense. I encouraged a greater depth of revelation in their work. God is always willing to reveal. The question is - are we listening?
