Here's an excerpt from the Upper Room Emmaus web page. They are seeking people to contribute devotionals for the Fourth Day Forward and Taking Flilght publications.

Write for the New Emmaus and
Chrysalis Devotionals

Calling all devotional writers! (And even those of you who do not consider yourselves writers but have a story to tell . . .)

Upper Room Books is creating two new undated devotional booklets for Emmaus (Fourth Day Forward) and Chrysalis (Taking Flight). We need your help!

The booklets will each be based on the 15 Talk topics from the Walks and the Flights (see below). Which one could you write about?

• Daily meditations should be 150-250 words long.
• May include scripture verse or suggested text (state version of Bible used)

Deadline: July 1, 2010 or before.

Email Robin Pippin or send mail to her at Upper Room Books, 1908 Grand Avenue, Nashville, TN 37212.

** If we choose to use your meditation, we will notify you before publication.

Some Tips for Writing:

• Devotional writing should invite people to come closer to God.
• Devotional writing should tell about real experiences of real people who are struggling to apply their faith to daily life.
• Devotional writing should express only one main idea. It should leave one memorable image with the reader.
• Devotional writing should lead persons into further conversation with God after they finish reading the meditation.
• Your journal can be a great source of devotional writing because it records your real thoughts about your experiences.

Thanks for sharing your gifts with Chrysalis and Emmaus!
