in Sincerely reading the Bible broke my faith - Testimonies of Ex-Christians on ExChristian.Net -- encouraging ex-Christians
I felt a kinship with you while reading your experience. I appreciate you telling the story, and I look forward for you to have a very successful next chapter!
I'm in your shoes when it comes to very, very tight knit Christian community, the type of Christian that you were, and how your family and community don't know about your changes in direction yet. That's me, also! I'm shaking in my boots because I so desperately want to keep the respect, love, and closeness that I have with my loved ones. To do this, I live a lie. So who do they love? Someone I am not any longer. And who should they learn to love and respect? The real me.
I hope we both can gather the courage to confront our fears head-on!

I'm still working out the words "Christian fantasy novel" and how that could possibly mean quality fiction. I'm buried in old bias. But now that I see a good recommendation I will keep my eyes open.

You know how excited I am to see the new HC go live! It already looks great from what I've peeked at so far. Keep working hard. The fruit is worth it!

in Sentence Tip #4 - The Puzzle and Payoff of Periodic Sentences on GoodWordEditing.com
Having found your blog without asking or even trying, and after delighting in the grammatical grandiosity contained within while feeling the weight of how little I actually know about sentence structure, you should know this site is going on my blogroll immediately.
Ok I tried! It took me forever (perhaps I should count that as break time from work). It's just not the natural tone in which I write. Let me know if I need to learn more about clauses before trying this again.
Have a great week, Marcus.
