February 2006
Dear friends,
My apologies to all who've tried to visit my website or email me
recently. I've been having web-hosting issues that will hopefully be
resolved soon. In the meantime, please use the following address
whenever sarah@saraharthur.com doesn't work:
sarthurian@yahoo.com. Also,
please visit my blog-site for updates on speaking and book-signing
events:
http://saraharthur.blogspot.com/. There's lots going on in North
Carolina in February and March!
For those you
looking for Lenten youth resources, now is a great time to take
advantage of group discounts on my devotionals: $6.99 per book for 10 or
more books, plus FREE shipping. Visit the
group discount
page for details. Keep in mind that Easter brings the DVD release of
Walden Media's The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the
Wardrobe™.
Fun!
As to other news, it's the winter writing season again, which means I'm working on
some new projects for projected release in fall of 2007. The
first is a resource for youth workers and pastors entitled The
God-Hungry Imagination: The Art of Storytelling for Postmodern Youth
Ministry (Upper Room Books). It's essentially my thesis on the role
of the imagination in spiritual formation, born out of my studies in
literature and my seven years' experience in fulltime youth ministry.
Lots of work, but lots of fun! The second project
is a OneYear ™
youth devotional for Tyndale House Publishers' "thirsty?" line. I'll
have updates on both projects posted on my website along the way.
Prayers are appreciated!
Meanwhile, for those of you in
North Carolina, here's where I'll be in the coming months for talks &
book-signings (students and youth groups are welcome). Please note: All
the book-signings include readings and Q&A, so the times posted are the
actual event starting times.
February:
March:
- 2nd (Thurs) - Tolkien
& Lewis presentation at InterVarsity Christian Fellowship gathering, University
of North Carolina Greensboro. 7-8:45 pm. Location: Curry Auditorium
in the School of Education building on Spring Garden Street.
- 4th (Sun) - Women's retreat with Hudson
Memorial Presbyterian Church, Raleigh NC. Held at Peace College
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pre-registration is required ($35):
Contact the church office: 919-787-1086.
I hope to see some friendly faces at these
events! As for my family and friends "up north" who obviously
can't make the trip, hugs all around. I miss you guys.
Love,

The best safeguard
against bad literature is a full experience
of good; just as a real and affectionate acquaintance
with honest people gives a better protection against rogues than a
habitual distrust of everyone.
