I
came to the conference with a dry-spirit,
no agenda, no proposals, no manuscripts...
and I made no appointments.
For me, the 2008 conference was
a retreat for my soul. This
conference went above and beyond
my expectations. Thanks for
all the hard work that went into
this event. I will never be
the same. You have a new walking
billboard ad!

Informative,
exhausting, inspiring, hopeful.

The
conference inspired and challenged
me to become a disciplined Christian
writer. |
|

|
|
Writing
for the Soul is a beautiful
blend of encouragement and education.
Jesus is central here. |
|
|
| |
|
|
 |
The
pursuit of excellence taught by authors
and modeled by staff and guests, the five-star
ambience, the Carnegie-hall artistry—all
orchestrated to inspire Christian Writers
to pray and work hard to craft literature
matching or surpassing that written by
those who are not believers. |
|
| |
| |
 |
|
I
knew I would be learning a lot at
the conference - what I didn't expect
was the profound change within me.
I am going home with a fire in my
heart to pursue nothing less than
excellence in my service to the
Lord. |
|
 |
|
|
|
| |
|
| |
The
energy and Christian atmosphere
were truly blessings.
|
 |
|
|
The
conference helped me to understand
the writing industry and will
be a priceless blessing from
the Lord in my future pursuit
of the craft of writing. |
 |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
I
have attended and presented at
professional and scientific meetings.
I was pleased to see this group
of Christian writers approach
this with such professionalism
and excellence. What a great
first experience and tremendous
first impressions.

This is the conference that will
either define or confirm your call
to write or set you free to discover
what your call is. We must
be about the Father's business.
If for you it is writing, this conference
will set you on the right and successful
course. |
|
|
Buckle
your seatbelt
and be ready to be encouraged,
inspired
and spiritually rewarded.
You'll come away a
better and more
proficient writer. |
|
|
| |
|
 |
The
conference made me realize I was not
alone. Many writers were once
where I am and are right here with me
still, encouraging me, strengthening
me, and bringing me closer with my walk
with God than ever before.
|
|
| |
|
The
conference speakers rejuvenated my tired
soul by chasing away my doubts about
the path of writing for God's glory.
They brought the winning of the battle
against the hearts of mankind as one
achievable through Christ's leading
as we submit and are obedient. |
 |
I've
attened at least twelve writing conferences,
this conference stands above them all;
it's the rarest kind of best. |
|
| |
|
|
 |
This
is my fifth year attending. I'm in awe
at how far the Lord has brought me.
My first conference I walked in with
an "I don't know why I'm here"
gaze. This year I'm walking away with
three publishers wanting my proposal
and chapters. |
|
| |
|
|
I
feel totally refreshed!

Wow!
Awesome! I witnessed God's hand at work
so many times in so many ways. His presence
was so evident all weekend. My doubts
of myself and my skill vanished as I
came to realize it isn't me, it is Him.
Praise God for the precious gift. Bless
you all for this amazing weekend.
