I guess I found my way here the way many others have, by searching for help in getting a book published. It is great to find a community like this and I hope it is mutually beneficial.
I am intrigued by the fact that a creator God, capable of unbelievable sophistication and finesse as demonstrated in the design of all things living, chose to reveal His own heart through ordinary men and women. His whole treatise to this world was written in the vernacular and around the real world experiences, of everyday struggling authors - people like Moses, David, Isaiah, Paul, Luke, John (I can't find their surnames or email addresses, but they all got published in the bible, so you may have heard of them).
God has been speaking through writers and preserving timeless stories in their words, since the beginnings of time. Of all the relics of the past, the most deliberately preserved and most valued to modern archeologists, are the writings of past cultures. Biblical cultures were particularly careful in this. Thanks to them, the faith of our fathers has been faithfully handed down to us, having survived all kinds of challenges on the way.
So, though we may feel at times like our message may not have value, we are in fact part of a great company of individuals that have been writing since the dawn of time - our words will make a difference to this culture and to future cultures, because the pen is mightier than the sword.
