QUAD CITIES CHRISTIAN WRITERS'  CONFERENCE  

Are you an aspiring writer who wants to find out what it really takes to be a writer? Have you been writing for a while but want to sharpen your skills? Do you want to learn to communicate clearly and effectively? Is it your desire to make a difference in other people’s lives and in God’s Kingdom with your words? Then join our writers conference for instruction, encouragement, networking, and fellowship with like-minded people. You can’t go wrong!

 WRITE-TO-PUBLISH CONFERENCE

Your key to getting published. The next Write-to-Publish Conference will be held June 3 - 6, 2009. Plan to join us as we celebrate 35 years of training writers and connecting them with editors. 

 CUP OF COMFORT FOR WRITERS

As every writer knows, keeping the faith isn't always easy. On those days when you find yourself literally at a loss for words, you may long for a little writer's TLC. In A Cup of Comfort for Writers, you'll meet more than fifty writers who, just like you, have faced down that empty page-and won!-from a woman who enters an elite writing program at the age of forty, and proceeds to blow "the pros" away, to a man who wins his wife's hand by writing her countless love letters. 
See Cynthia's story on page 145.

BACKYARD FRIENDS 

Our new magazine includes a report of how God is at work through THE HEARTBEAT OF THE HOME ministry, a note from Jackie and Cindy, information about new printed resources, a resource order form, and the latest radio station log. We trust that our readers will also enjoy the new featured articles.

Writing So Heaven Will Be Different

Writing So Heaven Will Be Different has compiled articles by others who have also made that their goal. Whether you're an experienced Christian writer or on your way to becoming one, you'll get caught up in the encouraging success stories in this book as alumni and faculty of the Write-to-Publish Conference pass along skill-building writing tips and practical encouragement for building a writing career and ministry "so heaven will be different."

ANCHORHOLDS WHEN CANCER THREATENS

This book does not contain helpful hints for healing. Rather the “Anchorholds” book addresses the emotional and spiritual questions that often arise when the diagnosis is cancer. What you will find in these pages is “holding on places” that all have their roots in the love and the Word of God.


 ARE YOU READY FOR MARRIAGE?

Many factors need to be evaluated in choosing a life partner and making marriage plans. What are the most important, nonnegotiable considerations? In the pages of "Are You Ready for Marriage?", the Bible's counsel is once again raised as our ever-wise, ever-trustworthy standard.

PULLING FREE FROM FINANCIAL BONDAGE

 THE MANY FACES OF GRIEF

The loss of a loved one is only one of many kinds of debilitating grief we may know in a lifetime. God's Word addresses each one, and each hurting heart, with expressions of comfort, courage, and compassion. Discover His caring heart in "The Many Faces of Grief".
