WordPoints Report

People ask me how long it takes to write one of the daybooks, and I say that the time frame varies greatly. With each new book, I am always interested to see how many years of work it’s going to require. I never know until the end is finally reached!

With the current loss of some support, I am reminded not to take for granted the help that so many of you provide. It is a blessing for which I want to be a good steward. And I hope you see it as I do: this is a work we are doing together.

I’ve always said that a writer shouldn’t publish anything he’s not prepared to meet again at judgment, so I’m asking if my previously published pages are truly the best that I can do. Before I die, I hope to publish revised editions of all the older books.

The personal connections that have been forged as a result of the writing, are treasured blessings, so correspondence is an important part of the work I am privileged to do. The opportunity to encourage and be encouraged, is something I do not take lightly.

I will keep praying to survive until January 1, 2040. I’ll work as hard as I can — by the strength which He supplies (1 Peter 4:11) — squeezing as much productivity as I can from each of the unique and valuable hours that He blesses me with.

Being involved with Daryl Townsend’s work with prisoners is a way that I can continue to teach through the spoken work, and not only that, but it will connect me to an audience whose needs are very near to my heart. I hope you’ll pray with me about this work!

The last volume published was “Obeying the Gospel,” which discussed becoming a Christian. “Walking in Christ,” then, will look at how obeying the gospel plays out in our daily lives after we begin following Christ. And the last volume, of course, will be “Going Home.”
