Christian Living
A former magazine writer and editor, John Shore’s life as a Christian writer began the moment when, at 38 years old, he was very suddenly (and while in a supply closet at his job, of all places) walloped by the benevolent hand of God.
John's most recent book is Midlife Manual for Men, which he co-authored with Stephen Arterburn, author of the best-selling Every Man series and host of the nationally syndicated Christian radio show, New Life Live. Midlife Manual is the first of four books John and Steve will be writing together for Bethany House Publishers; the next, Being Christian, will be out in September 2008. John is also the author of I'm OK--You're Not: The Message We're Sending Non-Christians and Why We Should Stop (NavPress); Penguins, Pain and the Whole Shebang (Seabury Books); and co-author, with Richard Lederer, of Comma Sense (St. Martin's). Both Penguins and Comma Sense won San Diego Book Awards for best books in their respective categories (Religious/Spiritual, and How To/Reference).
This morning, from 11:30 to noon (Pacific Time) on KDIA AM 1640, "Pastor Fred" will interview me and have me chat with listeners who call into his radio show Reaching For Life. (You can also listen online.) For those of you who haven’t heard me on the radio before, this is an outstanding opportunity for you to check out the sonic impact of my severely deviated septum.
No (well, yes) but if you like me, call in, and ask me total softball questions, like, "So, John, what makes you such a great writer?" or, "John, I absolutely loved your book, I'm OK--You're Not: The Message We're Sending Unbelievers and Why We Should Stop. I bought 30 copies to give to all my friends. Everyone should do the same. So, John, what special talents of yours gave you the power to write such a fantastically insightful, yet totally hilarious book?"
See, if you call up and say stuff like that, then people who want to scream at me won't be able to get through.
Whoo-hoo!
So remember: Like me, call in. Don't like me ... forget you read this.
Comment here. Or not.
