When Our Message is Rejected

July 24, 2020 by Belinda Pollard 2 Comments

A dramatic storm comes in over a green field.

A Bible meditation from Donita Bundy, to guide us into some deeper thinking about our task as Christian writers. Don’t shoot the messenger is a well-known saying. Bearing the brunt of a recipient’s displeasure at receiving unwelcome news is a distinct possibility for all messengers. That includes us – God’s postal workers. We might be […]

“Success” and the Christian writer

July 10, 2020 by Belinda Pollard 9 Comments

A road extends into the distance, under storm clouds and bright sunlight.

Last week on the Gracewriters Podcast we talked about imposter syndrome, where we worry that our writing is not as good as people think.

Pensive woman on beach at sunset.

God’s postal workers

A small letterbox with the number 1 on it, in front of a house.

A thought-provoking guest post from Donita Bundy. Did you know Christians were referred to as “People of the Book” at least 1400 years ago? I love that name. Even then, it was evident to the world that Christians and Jews were people who related to their God through story. Not only that, our Lord himself […]

Training to be a Christian writer

June 5, 2020 by Belinda Pollard 10 Comments

An athletic woman runs up a mountain.

The research my scientist was undertaking didn’t lead his conflict with another character in the right direction, and it was subtly affecting the book as a whole. I was about […]
