Goodreads asked David Teachout:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

David Teachout To be perfectly honest, the two books published were more for figuring out the process. A great deal of the entries in them have since been edited and it's a profoundly humbling experience to go back, wince, and then appreciate the growth that has happened since. Am I proud of having completed a project? Absolutely, and that's the point, I didn't aspire to write the next great book of religious philosophy, I simply wanted to know that I could set a goal and reach it in writing. Mission accomplished, warts and all.
