Imagine raising your children and going through your entire life, never having seen a Bible in your own language, never being able to open God's word for comfort, truth, or direction.

For many around the world, that's reality, but that is changing.

Crew has missionaries in nearly every country, and they are seeing people come to faith in Jesus in incredible numbers.

In Africa, believers are sharing one Bible among entire communities. In Europe,

teens are asking for Bibles faster than we can provide them, and in places where Christianity

is underground, the gospel is exploding, but access to scripture has not caught up. That's why I

love partnering with crew. They're working to put Bibles into the hands of those who are desperate

for truth. With just $24 a month,

you can give three people the gift of God's word every month. And as a thank you, crew will provide

12 meals to those in need and you'll receive a free copy of my book until the streetlights come on.

And I know a lot of people are really interested in writing and writing books. You know, you meet people all the time that are like, oh, I've always had this idea for a book.

And so Will Parker Anderson's going to give us a little bit of the insight on that, the back story.

Will, welcome. Thank you so much, Ginny. And you're right. A lot of people do want to write books.

And as an editor, that's the thing that I probably get, you know, people say it to me the most is, oh, you're an editor.

Well, I have this book idea and they immediately launch into a pitch. So I'm used to it.

Which, I would just think, I would say that probably a majority of people have a book idea,

or they've had a book idea over the course of their life that they're like, oh, someday I would really want to write a book. Now, for me personally, I could never do your job. I'm like, I don't even see the typos.

I mean, to me, it is a job. Like an editor, I was like, I couldn't do it. It feels like a magician.
