Blissful Affliction

Brief Description

Judson Edwards believes that it is important for Christian writers to strive to be among the best writers in the world. Following the example of the Apostle Paul, we can see ourselves as stewards of God’s mysteries, polishing the message until it shines.

In Blissful Affliction: The Ministry and Misery of Writing, Edwards draws from more than forty years of writing experience to explore why we use the written word to change lives and how to improve the writing craft. Simultaneously informative, educational, and inspiring, Edwards’ latest work is a guided tour of what it means (and what it takes) to suffer the curse of so beloved an affliction.
