Bob - I just got your recommendation of the Gushee book. I thought I'd let you know Word Made Fresh, a group I co-lead, is featuring Gushee and his book prior to the November 2015 American Academy of Religion meeting in Atlanta. Ron Sider will be responding to David G. For what it's worth, Tom ?
Robert D. Cornwall Tom,
That will be a great conversation. He is going to be at Central Woodward the weekend prior! So, we will have him warmed up for you.

Blessings,

Bob

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?
Robert D. Cornwall The key to being an author is persistence and working on one's craft. We can't control who reads or purchases our work. We can just continue to use our gifts in ways that express our authorial calling. Perhaps it is good to remember that many famous authors did not get discovered until after their death. That may not help current sales, but it is a reminder that if we write from the heart then what we share will have value.

What are you currently working on?
Robert D. Cornwall I am currently working on a bible study guide on marriage. With all the talk about biblical marriage and marriage equality, it seemed like a good idea to create something that could aid our conversation. While this isn't a book focused on marriage equality, I approach the topic from the perspective of one who supports it.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
Robert D. Cornwall The Eucharist or Lord's Supper stands at the center of my own worship experience. The roots of the book can be found in lectures I gave as a theology professor a number of years ago.
