Product Description
In Writing for the Soul, best-selling author Jerry B. Jenkins takes you on a personal and inspiring journey, imparting experience and wisdom gained from his impressive writing career. Unknown in his early days, Jenkins persisted in his passion to write, and his story reveals the rewards that can come to writers who put in the hard work and keep their priorities straight. Jenkins shares the honest and straightforward truth about how to find writing success and why the journey is a continuous one. With heartfelt advice and intimate anecdotes that will satisfy writers and fans, Jenkins discusses: • the skills and abilities required to build an exciting career
• breaking into the industry through reporting and writing for small markets
• establishing and maintaining a professional image
• how even experienced writers should continue to learn and grow (including Jenkins himself) Writing for the Soul is filled with Jenkins' autobiographical stories--including many of the famous people he's written about--and the lessons he's learned from his decades of experience in the writing and publishing world.

 Encouragement January 4, 2009
This fast reading book is written for writers and artists alike. Jerry writes in a way that is clear and concise. He offers encouragement and tips for all levels of writing. He reaches down and touches the soul to help make your work sing and he isn't afraid to share where his faith and strength come from. I believe the applications he offers are helpful to the reader and I would recommend this to any person who works in the arts.

Great Encouragement December 13, 2008
This is a great encouragement to the writers who are serious about getting serious. while he is a fiction specialist his principles are general enough to apply to all writers. His words are solid and he is a good teacher. This is a must read for all writers.
 Good Read, Good Advice, And Great Tidbits October 30, 2008
I'm not even finished with it yet. But, I'm hooked. This is a well-written book on the art of writing. It has a lot of good information and advice. Plus, he added a few tidbits about some of his own writing experiences including some very funy ancedotes. Thanks, Jerry.
A good read for non-fiction AND fiction writers. July 4, 2008
When I saw that Jerry Jenkins had created a book on writing, I was all over it! What I forgot was that he was a fiction writer. Doesn't matter in this case. Jerry speaks from the heart, and his ideas are great for both non-fiction, and fiction writers.
What is really interesting is Jerry talking about his background. If you love sports you need to read about his career before he became a fiction writer. Extremely interesting, and enjoyable.
Good advice for writers May 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
"Writing for the Soul" is at the same time an autobiography and an advise for aspiring writers. Jenkins describes how he has balanced his writing profession with his private life, and here, he finds a balance between autobiographical anecdotes and advice, on topics such as style, discipline to write, contacting publishers.
Jenkins's writing career has been shaped by his love for sports and his Christian faith, and he talks about both in this book. But the book is first and foremost aimed at writers. Being neither a sports fan or a Christian, I still found the book very interesting and inspiring, and often funny. Recommended to Jenkins fans, fans of Christian fiction, and most of all to aspiring writers, Christian or not.
