what part is work?

Having just come back from almost two months of traveling all around (some of it working, some of it not so much) it was a bit of a shock to come back and face Sitting-at-a-Desk Work (as opposed to Galavanting-Around Work).

Imagine my joy at finding this quote... but all joking aside, this is seriously true. I believe every word. You must fight for this every day. 

"It is also true that creation comes from an overflow, so you have to learn to intake, to imbibe, to nourish yourself and not be afraid of fullness. The fullness is like a tidal wave which then carries you, sweeps you into experience and into writing. Permit yourself to flow and overflow, allow for the rise in temperature, all the expansions and intensifications."

Illustration is by Jago from our new book THOUGHTS TO MAKE YOUR HEART SING coming in October. It shows Polzeath Beach in Cornwall, near where Jago lives. It just so happens to be one of my most favorite places in all the world. I've been going there on holiday since I was tiny. How cool is that?

It's ground breaking. It's fun. And best of all... it's coming! (And every single lesson has a brief commentary for the teacher from Tim Keller.) More here.

The LAST video ! ! ! extra long, extra fun

drum roll please... we have reached the last of the videos #44 (can you believe it? Thank you the brilliant Jonathan at Zondervan!)

Since it is the final one plus since it is extra long we incorporated lots of different scenes from past stories. Can you spot them? Who can guess which stories they are from?

Jago at work in his studio (with secret technique)

ever wonder how Jago does those incredible illustrations in the JSB? It's not exactly painting. It's not exactly computer generated. All those textures. It looks like oil. And yet... Well when I asked Jago how he did it, he said they were top secret techniques.

But I've spotted him. In his studio. And with one of his obviously key secret techniques. Right there. On his lap. For all to see.
