Praying for Gov't Leaders, Forgiveness, and Caring for the Poor: St Wenceslaus (personal chall

Thanks for asking! It's actually on hold right now, but people can still subscribe. I usually put it out every 1-3 weeks, with whatever Scriptural insights God's been giving me. If I'm working on a book, I'll often tell about that. Usually, in each book, there's something that my readers get to contribute to, such as the details of a wedding, or a favorite vacation.

@Alyce-Kay Ruckelshaus: Interesting. Insightful. Interactive. (Dare I say) Inspirational?

@dtwalsh: :-)

Great questions, David! Thanks. My transformational fiction, the Isaiah Cadre series, has a general theme of giving people the opportunity to understand what it's like to live as a radical Christian. Each book as a different theme, such as making the tough choices, anger, redemption, etc. One of them deals with abortion reversal. (Yep, that's a real thing.)

@Alyce-Kay Ruckelshaus: Wow! Sounds very relevant to the challenges we face these days!

@dtwalsh: I hope so! The most common comment I get from readers along the lines of, "I want to have the same kind of relationship with God that your characters have." My characters are far from perfect, but they want to be as close to Him as possible.

I love that part, too. What an important reminder that the only way we can truly hold fast to Him is to deny ourselves. Jesus told us that when He told us to take up our crosses.

That really struck me, too. First of all, it's hard for us to remember to put God's kingdom before our earthy one ... probably even more so if you're a government ruler, but in a sense, we also each have our own kingdom. But did you notice that it says God TAUGHT St W to do that? Wow, Lord, teach me!

We should, and it was a good reminder to me. To be honest, I've been forgetting to do that. I've been too centered on my own needs (my own kingdom).
