Show Notes:Jerry Jenkins — A Conversation on the Writing Life

Author of more than 200 books with sales of over 70 million copies, including the best-selling Left Behind series, Jerry Jenkins is the former vice president for publishing and former chairman of the board of trustees for the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.

Jerry’s writing has appeared in Time, Reader’s Digest, Parade, Guideposts, and dozens of Christian periodicals. Twenty-one of his books have reached The New York Times best-seller list (seven debuting number one).

Jerry owns the Jerry Jenkins Writers Guild, through which he trains writers online at www.JerryJenkins.com.

A few years ago, I came across his book Writing for the Soul. It is wise and helpful, full of craft, and particularly helpful for Christian writers. I’m excited to bring you my conversation with Jerry on the life of the writer.

  • For the last year this kid has trained, often five nights a week. I told him I would never make him, but if he wanted, I would find a way to get him there. His hard work paid off. He had to compete at a higher belt level and still won his three matches to take first in the bracket. Some many great lessons. @dynastyjiujitsu
  • Just working on a little Bible project.
  • We got it in before the snow comes. Fun day.
  • Happy birthday to the cutest 8 year old I know.
  • Collecting shells and cracking coconuts.
  • Silver Dollar City 2024
  • I’ve been hunting with Millie for twelve years. Not sure how many more I’ll get, but this was another good one.
  • South Dakota pheasant hunting with my dad and brother.
  • It’s officially fall when hay starts going in the barn.
