“Am I a teacher who writes Historical Novels and Christian Literature? Or an American author who teaches creative Christian writing? I can’t decide which. I have
a passion for both, and divide my time between them. I’m always searching out new forums to discuss my favorite subjects: writing, history, art, and God. I welcome you
to join my discussion!” — Ethel Herr

CHRISTIAN WRITERS CONFERENCES

Ethel Herr

Committed to Artistic Integrity

 
 Art
is a passion for life
expressed
along the lines of our gifting
with aesthetics, form,
and power.

Integrity
means remaining true to
the values that make our hearts beat
the artistic gift that stirs us
ant the unique features that define us.

Artistic Integrity
brushes
the common concerns of life
with our unique personalities
and perspectives
and produces an authentic work
reflecting
the multifacted
G L O R Y
of God !


*Ethel Herr:

*American Author of ten books (translated into four languages) and many articles, short stories and poems.

*Teacher/Writer of Writing, Research, the Arts, and the Bible.

*Historian, specializing in sixteenth century Europe—the Arts, Herbalism, Socio/Religious Conflict, Christianity.

A manuscript goes through the process from creative writing to editing to publishing, but the most satisfying part of all is seeing how one of my historical novels or Christian books touches the lives and hearts of readers.


LOOKING AHEAD

one more project on the horizon

A new book has been contracted and scheduled for release in July 2004

In response to a request from P & R PUBLISHING, I've just completed a biographical novel for girls, ages 10-14. *"My Grandmother Changed the World: a Story of Juliana von Stolberg", is the first book in a projected True Girls Series. The goal is to introduce the girls and young women in your life to godly women whose lives model significant messages for every generation.

*This is the working title and will change.

Look for it next year. .

INTRODUCING

TWO NEW WORKS

for your challenge and enjoyment

Lord Show Me Your Glory

LORD Show Me Your GLORY

52 Weekly Meditations on the Majesty of God

Does Your Soul hunger for God?

"Lord, Show Me Your Glory reveals the God who dazzles with
'a blaze of unsurpassable, unimaginable glory.'
Feast on this book until you're wrapped, like Moses,
In the afterglow of divine warmth."
Janet Chester Bly
Author of Hope Lives Here & God is Good All the Time

The seeds for this book were planted back in 1954, by Dr. Willard Aldrich in a class on Theology Proper. When he taught us about the names of God, I became so excited that I launched a lifetime of study in getting to know God by His names and attributes.

Fifty years later, now, you can read the results of what has become my controlling passion-- to see the glory of God and channel it to every corner of my world,

The editors at CHRISTIAN PUBLICATIONS, INC., have done a superb job of making this book beautiful and accessible. I asked them to make it a work of art that would be worthy of its exalted topic. They went beyond!

As I showed the book around the CBA convention where it was released in July, many people glancing through it, commented, "Oh this is inviting me to read!"

 It was designed to help you get to know God better and enjoy Him in long ruminations on small bites of the kinds of truth that give you holy shivers.

"Lord show me your glory--
I am too much in need to live in lesser light.
I have read Ethel Herr
And I can see, O Lord,
She has seen your glory.
Give us all such vision."
Dr. Calvin Miller
Professor of preaching and pastoral studies,
Beeson Divinity School
Author of The Singer Trilogy

It will make a wonderful gift for friends and family.

"If you, like David in Psalm 27:4, long to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord,
then this book is for you.. . .
I highly recommend this book."
Jerry Bridges
Author of The Pursuit of Holiness

An article,
co-written with Ellen Cohen

In the May/June 2003 issue of Light and Life Magazine, a creatively different type of article appeared.

"An Unlikely Connection" is a dialogue between Ethel Herr (devout Christian) and Ellen Cohen (secular Jew) on a surprising topic.

A year earlier I had told my friend, Doug Newton, from the magazine about a new friendship God had given me and the e-mail dialogue it had birthed.

"You'd be amazed," I told him, "at the materials we have on the subject of Evangelism-- how a Jew sees a Christian's attempts to evangelize her. Do you know how arrogant we appear to an outsider?"

"Put it in an article," Doug Newton said, "and I will publish it."

We did and he did. You can read it if you go to the following URL:
