Book Review

There are many called to use their talent to write for God. Unfortunately, many of them never put pen to paper. Whether from lack of encouragement, lack of self-confidence or just not knowing where to begin, these talented people never get started.

Grit for the Oyster is written with Christian perspective; the focus is on answering God’s call to write. Each chapter begins with a bit of wisdom and continues with a scripture and devotion. There is a short prayer, a few reflection questions and more bits of wisdom. Grit for the Oyster is a devotional book. I was enticed from the first chapter. I now have 1 Chronicles 28:20 hanging on my wall. I have a suggestion. Some of the print is very small, too small for easy reading. I really like this book. I will keep this book close at hand.

5.0 / 5
With open, generous hearts and witty, honest voices, the authors of Grit for the Oyster offer aspiring writers encouragement and Christian inspiration, served up side by side with no-nonsense advice on negotiating the rugged path to publication. Grit's four authors take turns speaking, so the reader experiences the book as a long conversation among good friends. Fisher, Coty, McDonald, and Bloss probe issues from from understanding God's call to understanding U.S. copyright law; from finding one's writing voice to finding a room to write in; from making effective revisions to making effective writing relationships; from gracefully handling rejection to humbly accepting praise. Readers will feel invited into the warm conversation and will walk away with new confidence, new writing habits, and new writing goals. An added bonus: Though the book's subtitle identifies an audience of aspiring writers, accomplished writers will find camaraderie and wisdom within Grit's pages.
