He saw you in your own Gethsemane and He didn't want you to be alone..He would rather go to hell for you than to haven without you.

With God, every day matters, every person counts. And that includes you.

I've caught myself a time or two adding or embellishing. I don't think that pleases the Lord. I don't think He needs my dishonesty to convey His gospel.

I think that the Holy Spirit works through the pastors of the church. It helps me avoid the trap of writing to the reading market. It helps me stay a pastor first, because they have no agenda; they are not thinking: "This would this be a good book someday."
