Dear friends,
I was hoping to have my website updated by now regarding my forthcoming books (blogs & preorders, etc.), but there have been a few snags, so I’ve decided to send this newsletter in the meantime. Here’s what’s happening from my end:
At the moment I'm packing for <http://www.youth2007.org/what.htm> YOUTH 2007 in Greensboro (July 11-15), where I'm leading a workshop on my forthcoming book <http://godhungryimagination.blogspot.com/> 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 <http://www.divinity.duke.edu/programs/youth/> 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 <http://oneyeardailygrind.blogspot.com/> 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://godhungryimagination.blogspot.com
<http://oneyeardailygrind.blogspot.com> http://oneyeardailygrind.blogspot.com
Check them out and let me know what you think! Also, both books will be available for pre-order through my website by August 1. I’ll keep you posted
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.
