The Beautiful Story that God Built

Ideas generate from everywhere, but as Christian authors we recognize the true inspiration behind our writing (and more importantly our 'calling') is from God. So, with that in mind, here's a little fun way of looking at the Genesis of story inspired by the children's rhyme - The House That Jack Built.


Here is the story that God built

The point of my little bit of fun?
"In the beginning was the Word..." John 1:1
That same Word comes to life in us as we begin the creation of story. What an honor! What a blessing!
WHAT a Calling!!!!

May each story He begins in you touch the lives it was meant to touch, even if the only audience who ever reads it is the audience of One!
