✍️ A Special Note from Laura Frantz @laurafranzauthor to the #ClearlyChristianReadathon Participants!

🩷 From the Heart of Laura Frantz 🩷

Since I consider writing a gift and the giver, God, I don't take it lightly. Given that, writing becomes more than a profession and far more than a hobby. Writing fiction is ministry. We live in a dark, fallen world and if we can shine some light on the hope we have in Christ, that's all that truly matters both now & eternally. Each of us who know the Lord have a responsibility to steward whatever gifts we've been given. Yours is sharing about Clearly Christian books, a vital part of that hope-filled realm. Mine is writing them. It's a blessed pairing! And then readers who read them are another gift & part of that hope and light to others!

Some of my novels that you might enjoy that best exemplifies Philippians 4:8 and Galatians 5:22-23:
📘 Love's Reckoning
📘 The Rose and the Thistle
📘 The Seamstress of Acadie

Laura's Prayer Request: My schedule is more challenging now than it's ever been with more writing & more visibility. Please pray that I not neglect my time in the Word & that my health holds so that I'm equipped & enabled to continue my writing ministry for however long the Lord allows. Heartfelt thanks.

💞 On behalf of everyone involved with and participating in the Clearly Christian Readathon ... Thank you, Laura Franz, for shining the light on the hope we have in Christ as your writing is filled with faith and encouragement!

Hey Fellow CCR Readers! How are you? Are you reading the Bible each day? Are you attempting to read 24 Clearly Christian Books this year using our two selected Bible passages as inspiration? How many have you read so far?

✍️ A Special Note from Kimberley Woodhouse to the #ClearlyChristianReadathon Participants!

From the Heart of Kimberley Woodhouse

First, I want to do everything to the best of my ability for the glory of God.

Second, I was challenged by a dear friend to write a purpose statement for my ministry at the very beginning. That purpose statement is two fold: (1) to point people to the Truth (Jesus); and (2) to challenge the believer in his/her walk with Christ. No matter what I write, my goal is to fulfill both of those. After EMHE and all the national TV stuff, I received phone calls from all the big publishers wanting me to tell our story. But since they were all secular, they all basically asked me to play down my faith--in essence to take God out of the story. I told them all no because God IS the story.

Some of my novels that you might enjoy that best exemplifies Philippians 4:8 and Galatians 5:22-23:
📘 A Deep Divide
📘 A Gem of Truth
📘 A Mark of Grace
📘 The Secrets Beneath
📘 26 Below

Kimberley's Prayer Request: For wisdom and guidance to write the stories He wants me to tell. And for the readers to grow in Him each and every day, to grab onto joy, and to share His story with others.
