Your First Writing Assignment

Today I'm excited to welcome a man I greatly admire, Bob Hostetler. He's an author beyond compare, as well as incredible conference speaker. He's also a fellow blogger on Guideposts.org. But I asked him here today for two reasons. Number one, because I want you to have a chance to learn from him. And number two, because he has a fabulous book out and I wanted you to hear about it. So be sure to give him a warm, Write Conversation welcome!
