Happy August! It's the beginning of another school year and the end of summer.
Thanks to everyone who has prayed for Jared since Memorial Day. His cast is off; replaced by a leg boot for the next month. He is able to walk without crutches for a few hours a day. I hope to have a current picture of Jared for next month's newsletter. He has loss about ten pounds of muscle fat due to non use so I have another month to fatten him up, but to see him is a testimony of God's power.BYW, Chris, the driver of the SUV, is up and recovering beyond belief. Here are kudos that I would like to share. It comes from the Executive Editor for Urban Christian Publishers, Joylynn Jossel:In part, this is in response to a post, questioning who are the readers of Christian fiction."When I first read it, to me, it confirmed an email I sent a couple weeks ago about why readers loved Dwan Abrams' books so well, and Pat Simmons, too. If I had to create a new category for these authors, I'd call it Contemporary Christian Fiction. They just have this cross over appeal without offending God in any way whatsoever. Their style of writing tends to reach both the church and the unchurched. It's not too much for the Christian who feels they are a Christian simply because they attend church, and yet it's just enough for the practicing Christian. I can't really describe it or explain it any better... All I know is that those books are truly doing God's will and Jesus Christ's ministry of evangelism. It's reaching out to those who may otherwise not deliberately care to know the goodness of God, while at the same time encouraging those who already know about His goodness."
