An ambitious inquiry into the art of writing and an unprecedented insider's view of the writer's universe, from the beloved author of The Handmaid's Tale.

What do we mean when we say that someone is a writer? Is he or she an entertainer? An improver of readers' minds and morals? And who, for that matter, are these mysterious readers? In this wise and irresistibly quotable book, one of the most intelligent writers working in English addresses the riddle of her art: why people pursue it, how they view their calling, and what bargains they make with their audience, both real and imagined. To these fascinating issues Booker Prize-winner Margaret Atwood brings a candid appraisal of her own experience as well as a breadth of reading that encompasses everything from Dante to Elmore Leonard.

The Father's Intense Love and Forgiveness
Format: Paperback
Chiqui Wood shows how our heavenly Father is driven with intense love and forgiveness to see His creation and especially each one of us restored in communion with Him. Therefore, the Father gives us of His best—the pattern Son who reveals the Father’s great heart of love for the world (John 3:16). God is wooing us to love Him with all our hearts and our neighbors as ourselves (Luke 10:27). Wood explains that to truly be who God created us to be, we need “others who are gifted in areas where we lack” (53). We were created “male and female” so right there you have tremendous diversity; yet, it is in the oneness of this diversity that we will see all creation set free into the glorious liberty of the sons of God (Rom. 8:21). Wood references the works of notable scholars in the field and brings together ministries who are truly gifted to supply answers where we have lacked. I highly recommend this book for home Bible study groups, as it presents the material in portions that young believers can relate to and assimilate. Each chapter includes key points for reflection, a related closing prayer, and questions for group discussion.

Life Changing
Format: Paperback
Doing a triad with this book has honestly changed every area of my life. Truly foundational for a Believer. I see God completely differently and there were so many “God moments” while reading it. He was confirming what was written and uprooting lies. So good and so excited to continue onto The Abba Factor!

Discipleship: Growing deeper in Love with God.
Format: Kindle
This is an insightful look at the real and personal questions that disciples of Christ have in their relationship with Father-God. It is appropriate for adult small group studies or individual growth, but keep a journal of the things that the Holy Spirit impresses upon your heart.

Sometimes Life-Changing
Format: Paperback
I read this book for a class. Though there's nothing heretical within, I didn't agree with all of the author's viewpoints. Some points made were interesting, but the book wasn't of lasting interest to me. I gave it to my dad when I was done, and the book impacted his life, revealing God's love to him in a way he hadn't understood. He loved it so much he bought the sequel.
