Ann Voskamp: farm wife & publishing phenom
« Voskamp is a writer for DaySpring, Hallmark’s inspirational division, and a farmer’s wife who has always kept journals. She began a blog on a friend’s dare as a way of working out fears, including agoraphobia, by counting blessings–a thousand of them. “It was no comments, no site meter,” Voskamp says. “I wasn’t trying to get a platform at all.” The blog eventually attracted the attention of an agent, Bill Jensen. She wasn’t even sure it was a book; she calls her writing style “idiosyncratic” and offers the word “prosetry” in describing it.… »See Also:

Death brings belief home
« But never until this year has Witherington, 60, felt so viscerally the convictions he has tried to pass on to others — nor his opposition to theologies of pain and prosperity that he says come up empty in such moments. On Jan. 11, Witherington received a phone call with news that his daughter, Christy, 32, had been found dead in her North Carolina home.… » -
Zondervan looks to be first to marketplace with adult & youth bios on NBA sensation, Jeremy Lin
« “I’m not exactly sure how it is all going to turn out, but I know for a fact that God has called me to be here now in the NBA. And this is the assignment that He has given me.

"The Big Lebowski" religion founder talks "The High Holiday" of dudeism
« Cathleen Falsani is a good friend of ours and actually has been bestowed the title “Dudey-Sattvah.” But aside from being a Dudeist, Cathleen is also a devout Catholic, and her audience is primarily Christian. So it makes sense that she’d employ more Judeo-Christian cognates when trying to dissect the Dude. And that’s cool, that’s cool.… » -
