Goodreads asked James Collins:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

James Collins Since I write Christian nonfiction, I will limit my advice to aspiring writers in the same genre. My purpose in life is to be an effective communicator of God’s Word. To be effective, I must write in a way that the average person can understand. Frankly, most theologians write books that read like a textbook. Many people have told me that my gift is to take complex theology and write it in such a way that anyone can understand it. Don’t water down the biblical truth, but write in a way that is readable.
