Mackenzie’s book explores how to write a Christian testimony.
Mackenzie will be available to sign her book, purchase multiple copies for gifts to friends or family, as well as answer questions if you’re considering writing your story.
“Faith Storytellers” explores the practical steps of writing and revising a faith based story. Readers also love the 40 short stories that are included in Part II of the book.
If you’ve ever felt the nudge to share your faith testimony — or you enjoy reading short uplifting stories about faith — then the “Faith Storytellers” book was written for you!
Want to learn how to write a book? Start by writing personal short stories.
If you’re curious about how to write a book, Mackenzie recommends writing a series of short stories from your life before compiling them into a book format. Even the best Christian authors, such as C.S. Lewis, started with short stories before writing a book.
Mackenzie’s shared everything she knows about writing a short, personal narrative in her book, from exploring your unique, God-given style of storytelling (take our quiz for a sneak peak!) to the five-step Faith Storytellers Framework she teaches.
