    Book Retreat in Breckenridge

    Posted on Tuesday 13 June 2006 by Greg @ 7:12 am
    Filed under: Rants

    I need your prayers this week as I have been on a writing retreat in Breckenridge, CO (an expensive resort mountain town where, with the help of my father-in-law, I found a condo that rents for $49/day…HA!).

    My goal? To write the majority of my new book Call Me Crazy in four straight days of hardcore writing! Yesterday was a 14 hour day of writing. I’m planning on the same today!

    This book is a systematic theology meets devotional meets autobiography (of the years before I turned 18) designed to help teenagers know, live, share and own their faith. I think I’m creating my own genre of writiing! You can find it in the teen autobiographical theology section of your local Christian bookstore.

    Good luck with that.

    My plan is to train teens by sharing how God did a radical work in me when I was their age. I will be sharing all my crazy stories growing up and the theology that God taught me through these wild and weird experiences!

    This book has been a lot of fun to write and pretty emotional at times for me as I’ve reflected back on my crazy upbringing. Its made me realize how much I miss my mom.

    But more than anything it’s made me realize how much I love teenagers and long for them to know the truth of God’s Word as for themselves in a very real and revolutionary way. My prayer is that this book will help them stop living off of borrowed faith and start growing deep in the truth themselves.

    My hope is to write a Christian book that Christian teens will actually read, enjoy and be transformed by!

    Please pray for me!

    Signed, Greg Stier

      • I pray its a book about what I am sick of!! There has to be something more than Sunday, after Sunday, after Sunday……   Heck I can’t even remember what my preacher said four sermons ago from today… CAN YOU? I am not sure if he even remembers… he is probably caught up with buying things, family issues, work related stuff, his kids… Just like the rest of the world. Man has the devil got us where he wants us! I think there is something to be learned from these Mormons… Ive said that countless times. I think I said it in your office when I met you! We need the similar system from them in the evangilistic perspective. BUT more serventhood is my belief. But what really needs to happen is the people need to be SOLD OUT not on buying a new CD, a new home, a new dress or watching another lame t.v. show or  yet another book written by another preacher and his spin on yet the same old topic for $16.95 at the local Christian book store. We are all dead. The problem is I don’t think anyone really believes it till its to late and we are on the other side. I am tired of my job, I am tired of the music, song and dance……. I am tired of getting up to here another sermon that no one seems to act upon… Only so they can feel good about themseleves going to church. There has to be more than Sunday after Sunday after Sunday… ARE YOU? WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT?

      • Wow, pretty intense up there, Kevin. Um, if it makes any difference I can tell you what my pastor preached about for the last few weeks. But off that, good luck with your book, Greg! Hope that it comes along amazingly and tell us all the exact date it gets shipped out to stores. (Washington stores especially.) Can’t wait to read it. So now I have two books to get this summer. D2S:the book (is that out by the way?) And Call Me Crazy.  Can’t wait and I’m prayin’ for ya, dude. L8r. Signing Off, Ashley

      • Hey, it’s me again. You’ve probably seen these videos called " Transformations", but if you havn’t, I highly, highly reccomend them. All I can say and think after watching them is " Praise God!" The videos are about revival that has come to unknown villages and even entire countries.  The stories that are shared will bring viewers to tears and make them jump for joy and praise to God. A good dose of encouragement when true revival seems dalayed. Peace and Grace to you Brother.
