“Cindy, God has given you a
gift of writing and it is your duty to write for Him!” (Elisabeth
Elliot in a personal conversation)
Imagine being only 26-years-old and hearing those words from
such a respected mentor, international speaker and author of 30 books. I had
already felt a nudging from God on this path, but Elisabeth’s words helped
confirm and encourage me further. Needless to say, I was a bit daunted, but
also energized to pursue more training and opportunity (this occurred when
I was heading off to Wheaton Graduate School of Communication after graduating
from Gordon-Conwell Seminary.)
No one is more amazed than I that today—many years later—I can look back at my
published work, by God’s grace: 13 books authored, 30+
books as contributing author and articles published in more than 50 magazines.
