New Life To an Old Dream (p3)

I'm writing a book!  (Actually, two books...)

I am grateful to my wife, friends, an incredible group of literary agents (Wolgemuth and Associates) and Zondervan for encouraging, supporting and believing in me.

I'll be writing about the implications of jazz upon our faith.  What does a jazz-shaped faith look like?  What can jazz teach us about doing community, reading our Bibles and doing mission in America?

Of course, I''ll be working a lot of the preliminary thoughts out on this blog.

As I state earlier, writing is not a strength of mine but I believe that this is something the Lord is calling me to do.
