I began writing my first book in 1992. I finished that book—Prayer A to Z: A Comprehensive Bible-Based Study of Prayer—in 2014. So it took me 22 years. But it was a big book—735 pages (in small font). It is a self-published book and I haven’t done much to market it—so it hasn’t sold very well.

Some people would probably get very discouraged, but I haven’t been. I want to keep writing books for the following reasons:

• I have developed the disciple and the habit of writing in the morning and I want to keep it up.
• I like writing. It keeps my mind stimulated.
• I prefer writing a book rather than just blog articles, because it’s a bigger achievement and something I can feel good about. Also, a book allows me to expand a subject and broaden my knowledge of the subject much more than an article.
