Tim Challies – The Burden of Being Blurbed
Tim Challies’s new (and first!) book The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment arrived in the mail today. I’ve already started reading it and will post a review when I finish.
Earlier this week I sent a suggestion to Tim that he blog about his experiences as a first-time published author for the benefit of those who hope to someday publish their own books. Well, Tim put up a lengthy post today defending himself against some comments made by, of all people, Steve Camp (yes, THAT Steve Camp, all you CCM aficionados) on Justin Taylor’s blog, Between Two Worlds about, of all things, the blurbs on the back of Tim’s book. Is this sounding a little surreal to anyone else?
This wasn’t exactly what I had in mind from Tim, but it’ll do for now. Go get the book and read it!
