winner – Paul Linzey

I just found out that an article I recently posted won the weekly writing challenge from FaithWriters. The article titled “Running a Marathon” is an excerpt from a brand new book I’m co-writing with Dr. Keith Travis. Our book is titled Military Ministry: Chaplaincy in the 21st Century.

Some comments from readers of the article:

“I liked the idea of comparing training for a marathon for the training of everyday living. Both types of endeavors are only successful with God’s help.”

“Your article has good content and speaks of experience.”

“I really liked this! It wasn’t hard hitting, yet had a very definite message. It was great.”

“Your title drew me in, and I wasn’t disappointed! Sounds like someone that knows about running in a marathon physically and spiritually! You’re running to win!”

“This is a great devotion. I liked your real life lesson and your biblical one too.”

I highly recommend WisdomBuilt Biblical Principles of Marriage. This practical and readable volume will enrich and strengthen marriage relationships. What makes this such a relevant book is the way Paul integrates insights from current research and the best of psychological studies—underscoring the reality that “all truth is God’s truth.” This will be valuable for any couple to read and study together as they strive for a healthy relationship. And, for church leaders wanting a great small group resource to enhance the marriages in their congregations, this book is a winner!
