Scripture Examples of

Writing as Communication

Presenter: Joel Rees

Have you ever wondered whether a writer can get into the Celestial Kingdom? Joel Rees has studied the question at length from a scriptural standpoint, and feels that he has the answer.

With the information from this presentation, the next time you feel down because the creative juices just won't flow, and are fearing that maybe your decision to pursue writing is offensive to God, you will have scriptures at your fingertips to help you beat the arrows of the adversary back.

Joel Rees is an unpublished author of off-beat, sleep-inducing fantasies, residing somewhere between Japan and Mars, and a constant worry to his wife and children. His genre is random pick. You may know him as one of the former Contrarions of Slashdot.

I will open time for questions after the presentation. If you would like me to prepare for a specific question, you may contact me at joel dot rees at somewhere dot tld.
