Perseverance and enthusiasm are two themes that I feel very strong appear in Fida Abbott’s book entitled Enthusiasm. As a main character in this book, she has responsibilities as a mother, a housewife, also as a worker. But she also has a strong will that she has to pursue her dream to become a writer. Her persistence and passion made her dream came true.
I enjoy reading this book. Even though it is bearing heavy themes but Fida has successfully presenting it in an easy and enjoyable writing. This book is informative as well. I will encourage my other writer friends to read this book, to have that enthusiasm, too.

What I Thought About "Light for the Writer's Soul"?

 I got this book as a gift from Yunita Phillips who lives in Ohio. She is one of eighty contributing writers of this book. She is one of the authors who I know well continuously supports me in several ways to keep me motivated in writing. She also used to send me books that can enrich me as an author/a writer through widely information, knowledge, other authors' experiences. I appreciate her efforts, support, and strong friendship built among us. That shows us how the authors should be to support each other.

This afternoon I have finished reading this book. I have found some of their messages inspired, encouraged and gave me strength as a Christian writer to harness my gift and keep writing for His Glory. These are some examples I would like to share with you:

1. You may not know another Christian writer personally who is facing the opposition, discouragement or temptations with which you're grappling. But within these devotions, you'll find shared experiences, encouragement to keep going and words that point you to the Word, the One who has called you to serve. (Marion Stroud, Foreword)

     Counting me to this point, I'm one of this writer's category: facing temptations that I was not able to run away from it but had to face it, and of course, it would influence me in my writing process. I felt bad every time knowing my readers could not wait to read my second book of Enthusiasm Saga. Yes, I delay in several years due of life circumstances I could not avoid. But the good things, through this process, He had sharpened my writing skills in some ways and gave the opportunities to enrich the ideas I would bring to complete that book to satisfy the readers' minds.

2. As our friend and former MAI Board member Julie Ackerman Link reminded us, anyone can put words on a page. Only God can breathe life into them. (John Maust, Introduction)

     That's true. I myself have experienced it. My book, Enthusiasm/Antusiasme (in Indonesian version) have become blessing to many readers. I even never thought about it. I just followed my heart to keep writing that book until finished and ready to be published. The rest of it, I saw how God worked beautifully so Enthusiasm arrived in the right hands of one of Indonesian Christian Publishers. Amazingly, it reached the readers with variety of religions. How could that happen? The answer is: Nothing impossible in God's hand.

3. Lord, help me to develop my main characters well. They have important roles in my writing to bring God News into the world. (Yunita Phillips; My Main Character, My Friend)

     As I'm a main character in my book, Enthusiasm, He had developed me through His knitting. How I could bring God News if I never experienced it before? Through the pause period, He had worked to develop the main character--me. As my readers can't  wait to read my second book of Enthusiasm Saga, I'm as its author, can't wait either to finish writing this book.

4. As an author, I need to finalize my novel one day and send it for printing. From that moment on, my authority over my protagonists is over. It's the audience's turn and I'll have to answer to their questions. One day it'll be all over. I'll finish the book of my life. What will it be? Will my Heavenly Editor like it? He will, because  we've written together. (Daniel Nalbantski, Heavenly Editor)

     This touched my heart: Will my Heavenly Editor like it? He will, because  we've written together.   I ever shared to Yunita when I was in the processing of writing Enthusiasm. My confession to her: It was like something whip my back every time I put off writing. I even didn't know where the energy came from till I finished that novel for eight months. In two weeks I didn't touch my laptop at all. I was busy again after the copywriter sent it back to me for review. Three times reading the whole manuscripts with over 250 pages, exhausted my brain, my energy, my eyes, and even I could not compromise again with my butt. But one thing I knew, I loved my copywriter's review and I knew she liked the story as she could expressed it on the back cover of the book. Yes, I could do it because I had written it with Him. (by Fida Abbott)

Take Two Benefits in One Action!

Musu is from Africa and has been an American citizen since couple years ago. Her two sons are in the college. She is a caregiver and also a new part time associate at Walmart. Reading is one of the things she likes to do. When she heard one of Walmart associates had published a book, titled Enthusiasm, she was interested to have it.

In the following weeks after she got Enthusiasm, she read it when having spare time in taking care of her patient. She confessed she could not put it down and wanted to continue reading it, but because it was special and she didn't have enough time to enjoy reading it while having two jobs, she would keep Enthusiasm for her summer reading when having vacation time.
