Show Notes:13. Doug Newton — Tackling A Three Book Series

For 40 years Doug pastored and lead ministries, knowing that one-day writing would play a bigger role in his ministry.  That time has come.

In the summer of 2018, Doug will launch the first three books in his Fresh Eyes series. In our conversation, we discuss how Doug tackled planning, writing, and organizing a series of books. We also spend time talking about the differences between writing sermons and writing books. Doug has some valuable advice for pastors thinking about their work and career in writing.

“The only kind of writing is rewriting.”― Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

 

  • Domes, pastries, paintings and our last day in Paris.
  • Germany was great. And I do love Paris.
  • Come all the way to Germany and found out my friend @karlvaters was speaking to German pastors twenty minutes away. The world is small.
  • Ashley and I are spending the week in Germany doing work with The Warriors Journey. TWJ is doing amazing work with the military community stationed here.
  • There have been intense negotiations in my house about getting a new dog. I have been arguing that we wait till summer… so we got one in last week. Charlotte got Lucy for her seventh birthday this weekend.
  • Couldn’t help digging through the folder of the letters with Ernest Hemingway. One that he wrote from Paris in the 20s and the other from Cuba in the 50s. Both are the original copies.
  • Caught the train to New Haven to spend the day digging through their archive of Dead Sea Scroll papers.
