A person with a non-speaking gift can write without using their gift in their writing, though it might influence their thought process or be used after publication in the marketing stage.Jeffrey C.

First, I make it easy and set the novel in an apologetics conference. Second, as you'd expect from the setting, some of the characters are apologists. Third, other characters (some of my main characters and several of the suspects) showcase the need for apologetics. For example, two suspects are in a cult; I have a couple of characters that are liberal, and one at a church that is nothing more than a social club.Jeffrey C.

Anyway, I love posts like this and it's such a good thing to bring up. Thanks, Jeff!<br /><br />Everyone should find their spiritual gifts and then find ways to use them. Sometimes I use writing, however, to just entertain, but I know it when my spiritual gift is showing up in my writing. It's just different.Crystal Lainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09284296811544392777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676691386361883927.post-18100141337660561172011-10-29T10:48:07.975-04:002011-10-29T10:48:07.975-04:00WOW -- very thought and analysis inspiring.
