Dear Reader,
As a writer, I spend a good bit of time thinking about you. I try to imagine you sitting on the subway or in that chair in your living room where you feel just right with a book. I try to imagine the questions that keep you up at night and run through your mind as you go about your day. Still, I admit: often I’m just guessing.
But mine is an informed guess-work. Many of you are kind enough to write and tell me about the words that have met you where you are and helped you find your way forward. I read every one of those letters and keep a stack here on my desk. Others of you I’ve had the chance to meet face-to-face at a speaking event.
Though it’s an admittedly peculiar relationship, I thank God that I get to keep up this dialog with you. I pray our conversation leads all of us toward a conversion of our whole being to the way of life we learn from Jesus. That is why I write. And it’s why I’m glad for this chance to connect with you here.
Just so you know, my writing is rooted in my work with School for Conversion, our local nonprofit organization here in Walltown. If you’d like to receive my monthly newsletter on SFC’s activities, you can sign up here. I’d also love for you to buy hard copies of my books direct from this site and support SFC with every purchase.
In addition to my books, I report on the revival of hope that I see happening not under the big tent, but in places like those where you and I like. You can read the latest at The Everyday Awakening.
Peace and all good to you,
