The Writer's Tools

The love of the writer is not the crowds, nor the fame from a published book, but the scent of the page, the wood that is held in ones fingers, or the smell of strong ink creating small thoughts and words into vast oceans of pages. --Briar Frost

"Those who question the value of fiction must face that Jesus used it frequently to tell the truth with a capital T!" ~Ken Ham~
You may apply fire to materials which are exposed to the frost and damps of winter, and you will find it difficult to produce a flame; but if you bring it in contact with some highly inflammable substance, you will see a blaze, or hear an explosion, in an instant. In like manner, if all our inclinations were originally on the side of virtue, the danger from being familiar with vice might be comparatively small; but the case becomes greatly changed, when it is recollected that we have within us evil propensities, which are ready to kindle as soon as the torch of temptation is applied to them. --W.B. Sprague
I am neither an aristocrat nor a democrat; I am a Christ-ocrat. --Benjamin Rush
I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! --Patrick Henry

There is not one little blade of grass, there is no colour in this world that is not intended to make men rejoice. --John Calvin
I thank Thee first because I was never robbed before; second, because although they took my purse they did not take my life; third, because although they took my all, it was not much; and fourth because it was I who was robbed, and not I who robbed. --Matthew Henry
A book by a christian writer is a fully developed presentation of a potentially life-transforming idea, containing not only information but also imaginative, motivational, and action-oriented content.
Duties are ours; events are God's!
Writers are first of all readers — avid, life-long readers who consume books the way other people do hamburgers or beer. As children, we crave the cool silence of libraries and summer afternoons draped over an armchair, the hours we spend suspended between the real world and the one we hold between our two sweaty hands. We covet the feel of books, their rigid covers and the pages that blow in the breeze. When our eyes scan a book we’ve just borrowed or bought, we writers feel buoyed with anticipation, hopeful and content. --Sharon Oard Warner
