[Free Ebook: Divine Healing by Andrew Murray] Andrew Murray (1828-1917) was an amazingly prolific Christian author. He lived and ministered as both a pastor and a writer from the towns and villages of South Africa.
All of his publications were originally written in Dutch and then translated into English. As his popularity grew, Murray’s books found their way into more than twelve foreign languages during his lifetime alone.
There is no way in which language used and the message communicated can be separated from each other. The language should always suite the message, and the message should always be expressed language that is appropriate. This brings us to the language that a writer should strive to use.
The discussion upon language brings me first to a misunderstanding that many people have and that must be cleared before anything meaningful can be said. Most beginning writers and the weak of intellect seem to think that only an artificial, pompous, laboured, and jargon-loaded language shows their capability. This is a fallacy. Even the stupidest writer having access to a good Thesaurus can produces volumes in that kind of a language, but it takes a genius to produce material in language that is simple, inviting, fascinating, yet crisp and accurate.
Specialities Of A Good Piece Of Christian Writing
It is very clear to even the casual observer that the writings of a Christian are definitely different from that of a non Christian. This difference is seen even when the Christian writes on a non-religious or non-moral subject. This is because the Christian world-view permeates his thinking, evaluation, and opinions. So much so that this can be perceived in his oral or written expressions.
You Build Them Up by Showing
The Difference Between Good and Evil
The world is full of good and evil. This includes not only people but also their thoughts, deeds, motives, and movements. These are never neutral. Either they conform to God or they oppose Him. There is no middle ground and there is no neutral thought or deed. However, most people are not able to differentiate good and evil from each other. Someone has to show them what is what.
Let Us Fix The Goals
The previous lessons introduced you to some of the basics, and now we will put these and many other principles into practice. The intensive training begins now, and I am confident that you will not allow the demands placed upon you to discourage you. Remember, more than a million persons are becoming literate EVERY WEEK and this your greatest opportunity to make a significant contribution in their lives.

None in his right mind expects a new-born baby to run the Marathon the next day. Yet there are writers who desire to get their first piece of writing published in the Reader’s Digest. It is not only a stupid wish, but also a self defeating idea.
Do Send Query Letters
A query letter is a letter that you send to an editor before you decide to write for that publication. A query is useful in many ways. For example, they might recently have published an article on the topic on which you want to write and it might be unacceptable to them. Even the careful reader is not always able to remember all what the publication has carried in the past months or years. Further, is not possible for a writer to read all issues of all the publications for which he might want to write. In such situations the guidance of the editor becomes important.

The book has been authored by John Isherwood and designed by The Maranatha Community. The author states his purpose in the following words:
In this Centenary year of the World Missionary Conference in Edinburgh (1910), this book is dedicated to all those pioneers of Christian Unity throughout the history of the Church who, beyond narrow interests and prejudices, glimpsed the vision of the body of Christ worshipping, witnessing and serving together in the Kingdom of God as Christ intended.

Girolamo Savonarola — The Forgotten Father of Apologetics: Savonarola was a gifted preacher and thinker of the 15th Century. In his writings we discover him to be a “Father of Apologetics”. His method and approach to the defence of the Faith is superior to much of what is on offer today. His premises and purposes are stated with clarity and match the needs and situation of the 21st Century as much as they did those of his day. The needs he identified, still need to be addressed.
