What it’s like to write Bible stuff for a living

I ONCE HAD A BARBER TELL ME I had the ideal job, one that he would like. Well, I love what I’m doing. That’s something. And I’ve had some success at it. A friend of mine asked me how long I write each day. I told him that if I’m writing something and …

When a book flops

NOT ALL OF MY BOOKS are bestsellers. Some have not sold very well at all. In fact, my favorite book so far – the one I enjoyed writing more than any other, and the one I think is the best book I’ve ever written – crashed and burned. Relatively …

Me: One writer’s to-do list

IN CASE YOU THINK writers stand around all day looking out the window and feeling grateful they’re not working for the man, I’d like to clarify something for you. That’s only partly right. I, for one, do that only from time to time – especially when: …

How did Jesus get mail?

“YOU’VE GOT MAIL” isn’t something Jesus would have heard very often. If ever. There was no postal service for normal people. It was, however, available for abnormal people like politicians. Romans called their officials-only postal service “the …

Bad wife: The woman who killed John

< IT’S BAD ENOUGH that folks remember Herodias as Galilee’s First Lady of Don’t Mess with Me—for getting the head of John the Baptist served up on a platter merely because he called her a sinner. But she had stink left in her after killing John. In …

Frustration of a Christian author

TO KNOW WHAT FRUSTRATES ME as a Christian author, picture the angel Gabriel with an iPhone. He’s flying around inside a church that hasn’t been built yet, videotaping the fly-through with his phone. Afterward, he posts the video in hi-def on Vimeo. …

Coffee with a writer? Nope

I LOVE COFFEE. But not in the middle of the day with people who say they want to talk to me about writing a book. The last time I did coffee with one of those folks was perhaps a decade ago. The fellow was a soccer dad; our sons played on the same …

I’m the new Bible Guy?

BIBLE GUY is what one the top execs in Christian publishing called me at the annual book conference last week. Surprised the dickens out of me. He rattled off the names of earlier Bible Guys. Gents I knew by their top-selling Bible reference books. …

I hugged a Mennonite stranger

IT’S A TAD EMBARRASSING now that I think about it. Who hugs a Mennonite stranger at a book convention? Me. I couldn’t help myself. Actually, the problem might have been that I didn’t stop long enough to think about what I was doing. My wife and I …

My most persistent battle as a Christian writer

THERE’S ONE BATTLE I often have to fight when I send a book off to a publisher. It’s not usually a pitched battle – though on one occasion I withdrew my manuscript from a publisher because of it. The trouble starts with my mission: I write books …
