Livonia, MI (PRWEB) June 9, 2005 -- "When was the last time you were inspired? Was it from something you saw on TV, someone’s personal story or even a speech or sermon? Sadly, most people go their whole lives without ever being truly inspired" says Scott Lindsay founder of FaithWriters.com.

By opening our eyes to these wonderful gifts, we too can be inspired to live a life full of faith and promise".

FaithWriters.com, the premier site for Christian writers, has released the fifth of its seasonal anthologies called "FaithWriters—In the Beginning".
Livonia, MI (PRWEB) October 13, 2005 -- "I’ve often thought how very thankful I am that God didn’t just fill the Bible with stories about His perfect children, living perfect lives and doing perfect things. Instead, He allowed us to see the good, the bad and the ugly – often all demonstrated through the same person" says Scott Lindsay founder of FaithWriters.com. "The Book of Genesis alone is full of real people, living real lives (warts and all) and loving God at the same time – just like you and me".
In the Beginning (ISBN: 1597813605, Xulon Press, 2005, $17.99) by FaithWriters offers over 80 award winning inspirational messages by 52 of the best Christian writers. It is filled with the most encouraging and uplifting messages submitted to the Weekly Writing Challenge on FaithWriters.com. The result is a collection of stories, articles, poems and devotions which not only celebrate the very best of human behavior, but also dare to explore those things that are less than honorable – while still glorifying God through every page. The authors’ will take you through a gamut of emotions as you delve into each chapter and discover that although thousands of years may have passed, some things never change –particularly when it comes to the grace and love of God.

FaithWriters.com, the premier site for Christian writers, has released the sixth of its seasonal anthologies called "FaithWriters -- A Year of Celebration."
Livonia, MI (PRWEB) October 17, 2005 -- God created His children to celebrate. "There is something deep within each of us that wants to commemorate and rejoice in the events, milestones and people that have impacted our lives. This desire to celebrate is another aspect of the human soul which sets us apart from all other creation" says Deb Porter challenge Coordinator of FaithWriters.com. "I honestly believe that if we weren’t given opportunities to celebrate in this way, we would invent reasons to do so … which, when you think about it, is pretty much what we already do. A quick look at any greeting card selection will prove that."
A Year of Celebration (ISBN: 1597816248, Xulon Press, 2005, $17.99) by FaithWriters offers over 80 award winning inspirational messages by 49 of the best Christian writers. It is filled with the most encouraging and uplifting messages submitted to the Weekly Writing Challenge on FaithWriters.com. “Virtually every week of the year is now set aside to celebrate or remember something, from the deeply significant to the inanest of nonsense. So in this sixth FaithWriters’ anthology, we celebrate celebrations. In fact, a whole year of the very best reasons for rejoicing -- Christmas, New Year, Valentine’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, Birthdays, Father’s Day, Anniversaries, Friendship Day and Thanksgiving."

FaithWriters.com, the premier site for Christian writers, has released its seventh anthology, “FaithWriters -- Journey of Faith.”
Livonia, MI (PRWEB) March 10, 2006 -- Everybody loves a vacation, and the members of FaithWriters.com are no exception. So when they were presented with the challenge of writing about such topics as “camping,” “car trips,” “postcards” and “the beach,” they packed their imaginations, grabbed the suntan lotion and headed straight to their keyboards.
“With ten vacation-focused topics, I was really expecting this to be the ultimate get-away-from-it-all book,” said Deborah Porter, the FaithWriters.com Writing Challenge Coordinator. “Of course, by now I should realize that FaithWriters’ members are notorious for writing outside the box. Ten weeks and over 1200 submissions later, the end result turned out to be a far cry from my anticipated literary trip to the Bahamas -- it was even better. What started out as a book about vacations, instead became an inspirational Journey of Faith.”
FaithWriters -- Journey of Faith (ISBN: 159781900X, Xulon Press, 2006, $17.99) is a collection of 80 award winning inspirational, encouraging, challenging, and entertaining messages by 47 of the best Christian authors from the FaithWriters.com Writing Challenge.
The weekly Writing Challenge has rapidly grown from its very humble member-initiated beginnings in 2003, to what it is today -- an exceptionally popular contest for Christian writers, with the best entries each week being published in the quarterly anthologies, such as Journey of Faith.
“FaithWriters’ members often become quite passionate about the Writing Challenge,” Deborah explained. “Where else can a new writer find such a terrific opportunity to develop their skill, receive feedback on their work, and possibly end up published as well? There’s no doubt that these opportunities have made the weekly Writing Challenge extremely popular. The Journey of Faith anthology really is the fruit of that popularity, enthusiasm and excellence. It may not be a vacation for your body, but it is definitely a vacation for the soul.”

FaithWriters.com, the premier site for Christian writers, introduces its new book review service for members.
Livonia, MI (PRWEB) March 10, 2006 -- Any author will tell you that although writing a book may be a lot of work, marketing that same book is nothing short of hard labor. With print-on-demand technology and self-publishing options rapidly becoming popular alternatives to the traditional publishing route, more and more writers are now able to see their work in print. However, many of these same authors are discovering that the road to book sales can be a long and tiring one. With this in mind, FaithWriters.com has introduced their new book review service, designed specifically to help new writers with the promotion of their books.
FaithWriters’ Book Review Coordinator, Deborah Porter, said, “With so many FaithWriters’ members publishing their own books these days, we saw an opportunity to be able to help them with the marketing of their work. After all, that is the very heartbeat of FaithWriters.com--helping Christian writers to reach their potential and fulfill their God-given destiny.”
Book reviews are not completely new territory for FaithWriters. Reviews were originally introduced as part of the ‘Well Read’ section in the monthly FaithWriters’ Magazine. However, the emphasis gradually shifted from reviews of books by FaithWriters’ members and other new writers, to reviews of books by popular authors. As Deborah explained, “The reviews in ‘Well Read’ were outstanding, but somewhere along the way we wandered a little off track from our original goal, which was to give new authors a chance to see their books in the media spotlight. That’s why the new FaithWriters’ Book Review site is so exciting. It’s time for the new kids on the block to have a place to shine.”
For writers, the benefits of the FaithWriters’ Book Review site are obvious. However, the benefits for readers are just as great. Anyone who has ever walked into a bookstore knows how overwhelming it can be to try and select just one book from the multitude on display. Then there is always the uncertainty of whether the final selection will live up to expectations. When it comes to unknown authors and online bookstores, the decision is even harder. So with fair and balanced reviews, FaithWriters are helping to take the guess work out of choosing the best book for each reader’s needs.
“It’s all about connecting good books with God’s people,” Deborah stated. “Ultimately, that’s really what FaithWriters is all about.”

FaithWriters.com, the premier site for Christian writers, introduces the FaithWriters Christian email service.
Livonia, MI (PRWEB) March 20, 2006 -- They say that actions speak louder than words, and more often than not, an email address speaks even louder. If you want people to think of you as fun-loving and lively, then e-mail protected from spam bots will do the job. But if you’re a writer and want to make a strong impression from the outset, then it may be time to hang up the cotton-tail and opt for a new, professional email identity--and FaithWriters.com has the ideal alternative with their new web based email service for Christian writers.
Spam, annoying advertisements, pop ups, and limited storage space are growing problems with many web based email services. Because of this, FaithWriters.com has recognized the need to provide a service that eliminates these problems and allows subscribers to identify themselves as both writers and Christians.
With ample storage, the FaithWriters email service provides more than enough space for most users, and permits web access to email from any computer, anywhere in the world. Incorporating a wide range of advanced, easy to use features, including storage management, spell checker, rich text editor, address book, message/mail search, Microsoft Word functionality, and automatic signatures, it has everything a writer would require for a professional email identity. As a special bonus, it even has a built-in daily devotional to help keep the inspiration flowing.
So if “cuddle bunny” has turned into a dead duck, a FaithWriters email address may be the perfect solution to give your writing career that perfect professional touch.

FaithWriters.com, the premier site for Christian writers, introduces FaithWriters for Kids--a writing site for children between the ages of 7 to 14.
Livonia, MI (PRWEB) March 27, 2006 -- You can lead a child to paper, but you can’t make him write. When compared to video games and favorite television shows, writing and reading all too often take a back seat in the lives of 7 to 14 year olds--that is if they’re given any room at all. But when you spark a child’s imagination and make writing fun, stand back and watch the creativity flow--which is exactly what FaithWriters.com is doing with their brand new writing site, FaithWriters for Kids.
“The idea of starting a writing site specifically for children has been suggested by FaithWriters’ members occasionally in the past,” explained Deborah Porter, Coordinator of the highly popular FaithWriters’ weekly Writing Challenge. “But it really wasn’t until a couple of children ‘sneaked’ entries into the Challenge that the very real need for a place of their own became obvious. The children were both very young, but their stories were delightful and received a huge amount of feedback. Children like these are the faith writers of the future, and what a privilege it is to now be able to provide a way for them to express themselves and help develop their skills.”
Published author and mother of six, Karen Elengikal, has been one of the strongest supporters of the FaithWriters for Kids project, which isn’t surprising when you discover that the two youngest-ever Challenge entrants came from her family. When asked about her enthusiasm for FaithWriters for Kids, Karen said, “The mandate we possess as godly parents is to pass our Christian heritage onto our children. This includes providing avenues for them to express and develop their God-given gifting in the arts. I see the FaithWriters for Kids site as a vital tool in God’s hands, giving an outlet for effective expression of our children’s writing, while prodding and cultivating their enormous imaginations in an environment of Christian love and care.”
Using a simplified version of the successful FaithWriters.com site, FaithWriters for Kids provides children and young teenagers with the ideal place to write and read about the things that matter most to them, as well as a non-competitive weekly writing challenge all of their own.
“The effective results of combining opportunity, inspiration, challenge and encouragement have been shown time and again at FaithWriters.com,” stated Mrs. Porter. “Now it’s time to unleash those same things into the lives of the next generation of Christian writers. Who knows? We may be nurturing a future Ted Dekker, Karen Kingsbury, Jerry B. Jenkins or Francine Rivers ... or perhaps someone who will write just one thing that will touch one other heart for Jesus. What more could we ask?”
