Summer 2007
Dear friends,

In the midst of our current heat wave I'm packing for YOUTH 2007 in Greensboro (July 11-15), where I'm leading a workshop on my forthcoming book The God-Hungry Imagination (see cover at right). I look forward to seeing some of you there!

Immediately after the convention I'm headed back to Durham for the two-week Duke Youth Academy for Christian Formation. It will be my second summer as an artist-in-residence leading workshops on creative writing, one of my all-time favorite gigs.

Meanwhile I'm preparing for the release of both new books this fall, The God-Hungry Imagination and The One Year Daily Grind, a rambling, blog-style devotional book for twenty-somethings (see cover at right). I've created blogs for both books, as follows:

http://godhungryimagination.blogspot.com

http://oneyeardailygrind.blogspot.com

Check them out and let me know what you think! Also, both books are now available for pre-order through my website.

In no time it will be August 21st, my first day of orientation at Duke Divinity School for the two-year Master of Theological Studies program. I can't wait to dive in!

Have a wonderful summer, and God bless.

What I mean to insist upon is that spiritual writing--Spirit-sourced writing--requires spiritual reading, a reading that honors words as holy, words as a basic means of forming an intricate web of relationships between God and the human, between all things visible and invisible.
