What can you imagine?
How big can you think?
God thinks bigger…
Do you want to ask Him for something?
Ask big because you’re dealing with a big God.
Ephesians 3:20 from the Discoveries Bible
Continued from yesterday …
For the last two days, I’ve been talking about a new project at DwightClough.com – the Discoveries Bible.
In practical terms, it takes time to work on something like this. And – even though it sounds secular, it is true – time does mean money. So I’ve been trying to figure out how, as a professional writer, I can carve out time to work on the Discoveries Bible.
Here’s what I’ve come up with.
If you would like to sponsor a chapter of the Discoveries Bible, you can do so for a $50 donation to Dwight Clough Ministries. (Tax deductible in the USA) You can donate online at my website (http://www.DwightClough.com) or print out a sheet that you can mail in with a check. When you contribute, let me know which chapter you’d like to sponsor and why. (It can be any chapter in the Bible whether I’ve finished it or not.) When I finish and post that chapter online, I’ll include your reason for sponsoring it along with your name (or “anonymous” – your choice).
You may sponsor as many chapters as you want. Or your small group or Bible study may sponsor an entire book of the Bible if you would like. (Although we may do a printed version at some future date, my plan for now is to make the Discoveries Bible available to readers for free on the web.)
Several days ago I drove down to Chicago and picked up 260 copies of Amazing Faith. This is a collection of fifteen stories of God at work in the lives of His people in all kinds of situations – overcoming racial prejudice, being interrogated by the KGB, surviving breast cancer, offering hope to urban teenage “throwaways,” living with an alcoholic spouse, walking away from a lucrative job, standing up to incredible pressure to deny the faith and so on. I loved working on this book with Tom Shaw and interviewing people like Jerry Jenkins, George Verwer, Dr. Gary Chapman and others. Amazing Faith retails for $11.99 but it is now out of print. I’m so glad I was able to find these last 260 copies in the publisher’s warehouse.
As my way of thanking you for being a friend to this ministry, I want to send you a copy of Amazing Faith – when you send a donation of any amount to Dwight Clough Ministries. I also want to speak to our dear friends around the world who pray fervently for us but truly cannot afford to send any money. Your prayers mean more than dollars ever will. If you would like a copy of this book, let me know and I’ll do my best to send you one.
Finally, all of you. Thank you for your friendship. Thank you for your encouragement. You are precious to Kim and me. May the Lord greatly encourage you today.
Be encouraged!
Dwight
