Do you want to write a book ... or is it the will of God that you write a book?There's a big difference.There's nothing wrong with creating a book based on your personal desire to do so, but when God wants you to write a book, it gives your book enhanced meaning and purpose.The impact will be bigger and can lead to unexpected blessings that you could never have imagined.This isn't a name it and claim it principle. Just because you write a book based on God's leading, it doesn't mean that you'll experience worldly success. Your book might not become a national bestseller. Your bank account might never grow from book sales. You might never be invited to speak on stages in front of thousands of people. But when you properly discern the will of God and faithfully share the message He has given you, you become a willing participant in His bigger plan. You will make a true and lasting impact, one that can bring your readers -and you - closer to God.IF you choose to obey the call, that is.But how do you know if your book idea - or any plan, for that matter - is the will of God?That's what I'm going to share on today's episode.Next Steps:Step 1: Join a supportive community of nonfiction Christian writers at the free Facebook group Publish Like a Pro.Step 2: Get more personalized support through 1:1 book coaching at www.dalenebickel.com/bookworthy-coaching Connect with Dalene:Contact - > [email protected] ->www.inkandimpact.comFB/IG/LI ->@dalenebickel Send us Fan MailJoin my new free Publish with Purpose Substack community for industry updates, live Q&A sessions, and to connect with fellow Christian writers!
