Talk about a niche audience.&amp;nbsp;  Again,&amp;nbsp;KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE ;)&amp;nbsp; I was invited to talk about book writing and whether it would behoove pastors to create a book since most of them are already crafting weekly messages for a local&amp;nbsp;audience, so why not a broader one through their writing?  We also discussed,  Who should write a book&amp;nbsp;(and why)? What about audio books, should they be included? What are the benefits of having your own book? Can you actually make a living from your book?  You can check out my episode of&amp;nbsp;The Church Solutions Podcast&amp;nbsp;with Phil Thompson and Steve Lacy wherever you get your podcasts. The books I mentioned and said I'd link to in the show notes:  Restoring You: Becoming The Masterpiece God Created You To Be by Kathryn Hughey Weight... That's Not All!: Give Up Dieting &amp; Food Behavior Gimmicks and Buy Into Your Healing &amp; Freedom in Christ Instead by Lesli Bryan  And of course, reach out to me if you've got a message burning inside you to release to the world but need my help putting it into a book. Write Your Book!
