Have you heard of God Allows U-Turns? I just discovered this book series has a blog! It looks like we’ve been missing a party.

Allison Bottke is the author of this series featuring stories written by people who’ve experienced the dramatic power of God changing the course of their lives.

I read over at The Writing Life that Terry Whalin is the guest blogger this week. Then I discovered that Allison has arranged a whole 2006 Guest Blogger Series, and many of my favorite writers are coming up. So, I’ll be checking back over there to see what’s going on — and maybe you can too!

One thing I like about reading other people’s dramatic stories is that it helps me think about my own life. I’m sure each of you have experienced a life-changing moment, a fork in the road, that perhaps changed the course of your life. Have you ever written that story down before? Reading other people’s stories may help trigger your own memory, and you’ll always be thankful you’ve written down your story.

Who knows? You may end up being featured in one of Allison Bottke’s future books! Here’s what she’s looking for now:
