I just hit the “SEND” button to deliver our manuscript to the Publisher right on time. Awakening the Creative Spirit: Bringing the Arts to Spiritual Direction (co-authored with Betsey Beckman) is scheduled for publication in early February 2010 by Morehouse (SDI Imprint Series). More details to come! For right now I am just going to celebrate the completion of this phase of hard, hard work and what has been a labor of utter love and passion.

Congratulations, Christine. This is an amazing thing: to get an idea, to nurture the idea, and then to follow through to completion. Really, a small miracle, I think. :)
