For over a month I have been working towards compiling a collection of my blog essays for book publication. In fact I have already contracted with Lulu publishing for the project. The plans are to make the book available in the following formats: ebook, paperback, and hardback.
The last several days my steady work towards completion of the project has been stymied by self-doubt. The troubling question: Is this primarily a self-aggrandizing ego trip? If it is, I don't think this can possibly be in God's will as I have come to understand it. There is, however, an alternative way of seeing it.
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” --Joshua 1:9 New International Version (NIV).

I am not on an egotistical joyride, but this simply comprises who I am--I can be no other. God created me to make a contribution to his world, and I intend to make it. By the grace of God I have been set free from self-loathing and its rending curse of self-doubt supine before compensational egotistical idols.
