Writing can be more than a one-way secular experience of distributing information. Instead, writing can be a spiritual journey if you let it become one. This book is exacted towards this end by making writing a sacred practice that can bring you closer to Jesus by understanding His presence through the Holy Spirit while you write. Some people are called by God to be writers. God not only creates aspiring writers, but He also guides and encourages them to become better writers through the supernatural urgings of the Holy Spirit. The Frost of Lost Words is about the Holy Spirit’s involvement in the writing process and about how writers can write from a supernatural perspective by allowing the Holy Spirit to participate.
