A Book

In the blog world, I have taken a leave of absence it would seem. My closest friends have seen less of me as my face has been illuminated by the glow of a computer screen. Not from surfing the web. From writing tirelessly on a book.

Today my book proposal is complete. (Insert shouts of praise here!!!) We will begin to take it to various publishers to see who might like to get behind the book. It is an interesting thing to push through fear and follow God's prompting. Humbling to see when HE accomplishes what HE started.

Leading the Choir Behind Razor Wire
Finding Beauty in the Songs of the Broken

Premise:
Most people would never willingly choose to enter a maximum-security prison for any reason. Tina Hutchison chose to enter and accept the volunteer position of chapel choir director. From the very first note that was sung, Tina connected spiritually and emotionally with the incarcerated women who experience life behind razor wire, and was challenged beyond her comfort zone. Leading the Choir Behind Razor Wire illuminates true human stories - inspiring, tragic and insightful - that will resonate with the reader and bring awareness of the beauty that lives in the heart of the broken.

I wanted to share this with you and ask that you pray as we seek to follow God's lead. May HE use this humble offering to glorify Himself. He is the restorer and redeemer!

Hi Tina:

I know this book and offering of yours will touch many lives. It will be exciting to see how God uses your story to touch the lives of many and also let people know that they are not forgotten.

I would totally buy this Tina~ I landed on your blog from Amy Hood's. I will introduce myself at church sometime. I have seen you there in choir and heard you speak at CWF Bible Study last year. I think your ministry sounds awesome!
