Synopsis

In this memoir of the craft, Ben Palpant unpacks a lifetime of wisdom gained through the long, hard work of learning to write and to live well. Delivered as a series of letters from father to daughter, he patiently and gracefully paints a vision of what it means to enter into one's creative work as an act of generative obedience--an act that blesses the writer, the work itself, and the world that receives it. Palpant reveals the creative process not only as an act of love and attentive artisanship, but as the work of shaping a life and a heart that points toward the coming of a Kingdom and the renewal of Creation itself.

Goodreads review by Jamie

Was enthralled by this slim little, beautiful, lyrical book these last 2 weeks- and enjoyed it chapter by chapter each morning slow and steady. Full of such heart and biblical wisdom and encouragement and challenge. Yes, is technically a memoir of the craft, of generative writing, but it’s so much m......more

Goodreads review by Tori

“A river flows through the center of your heart’s castle and out into the city of man. Set your little bread—be it a word or an idea—upon the water and let it follow the current. Someone downstream will pick it up and take it home and be fed by it.” Through letters penned to his daughter, Ben Palpant......more
