Yesterday I had the pleasure of interviewing Terri Blackstock for the Holy Worlds Podcast regarding her recent release of Downfall, the third and final book in her Intervention Series. I was touched by her humility and a little convicted. She encouraged me not to care how many people I write for, saying that she’d be satisfied if only twelve people read her books. For a NY Times best selling author to say that, is very impressive. I write because I love it, and feel like I have to, but sometimes the lure of fame and a full-time writing career sneak in and tell me that if I don’t achieve those goals then I’ll be a failure.
I was also touched by her story of her daughter’s massive drug addiction, and how that trial led to a series of books (Intervention Series) that has transformed many lives burdened by drug addiction. I wanted to share the link to the show because it’s a very encouraging story, but also because Terri is running a giveaway to help support charity. She is giving away a $500 Visa card to the winner, and another $500 for an addiction-based Christian ministry or church outreach of your choice! Click on the blue text above to enter the giveaway, but hurry, it ends at 5pm today, March 7th.
Great interview, worth your time to listen! Not too long either!
