Bon Appetit!
Today's offering is a smorgasbord. Below you'll find (in no particular order) links to the works of some writers I've mentored and who have, in the process, helped me grow as a writer. Each person represented here writes to proclaim God's renown. Some write prose; others write poetry. Each has a unique style and a powerful message. Enjoy!
Current students' blogs:
Benji: http://voicesfromtheoutfield.blogspot.com (He'll introduce you to some of the writers to follow. His piece titled "Random Seminary Thoughts" may, as some of my writer friends are now fond of saying, make you spew your Starbucks through your nose. It's that funny.)

I hope you've enjoyed this sampling of these friends and their works and that their words have encouraged you. I also hope that through them you've seen the value of mentoring others, using whatever gifts God has entrusted to you. Clearly the learner can excel far beyond the mentor. All he or she may need is a little encouragement.
