I'm working on a book about marriage, and I especially love what you said about feeling like the author is "in the boat with you, encouraging you to keep rowing and pressing on toward God’s will for my life, instead of shouting at me from the shoreline." It's so important to make sure our nonfiction books don't sound like preachy textbooks. Great job! :) Andrea Merrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886398056031430593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-80808024520381202012016-04-20T09:14:53.617-04:002016-04-20T09:14:53.617-04:00Wonderful insights laced with truisms.

I can see how each one can bring a new perspective to what we write. I never thought about using the voice recorder. Hearing ourselves read what we wrote in that way will be different and revealing.
