Let's Tell Your Story
You have a story–a personal testimony, a family legacy, a church history–that you want told to the world. For the glory of God. As a record for your family or future members. And it needs to be done right.
That’s a heavy responsibility.
I’m asking people to trust me with their story. To make it presentable; something they would be proud to share with their family, friends, or community. And with the help of the Holy Spirit, that’s what I want to do for your story.
I recently spoke with a gentleman who thought it would be great to chronicle the life of his father who helped and inspired many, but his father, being a humble man and not wanting to bring glory to himself, would not allow it. This man was disappointed, as he truly wished to honor his father’s legacy.
I understand the father’s resistance to tell HIS story. Over the years as a Christian writer I have found self-promotion a difficult hurdle. As followers of Christ our life should be about promoting Him, not us.
Which is why your story SHOULD be told. If you are a believer with a miraculous or dynamic testimony, it’s not just your story–it’s His.
If you have children and grandchildren, then it’s not just your story–it’s the beginning of theirs. It’s your legacy to them, their inheritance from you.
As a pastor or church or ministry that has reached multitudes or handfuls, your story is important to all of us. It is part of the greater story. It inspires faith. “Faith comes by hearing.” All of us need to hear the word of your testimony.
In the last story I completed, “Mission Acapulco”, Jay de Vries encountered a pastor who gave him a book about a man of God, Captain Brenton, who brought Bibles to western Mexico many decades before him. Though the book is no longer in print (I did find a couple online), Jay’s story became another chapter in God’s story for this area of the world.
So, your story is not just your story. To you it may seem like just fading grass in a field, but it’s another chapter in the continuing saga of God’s glory. Let’s tell it.
…a dynamic testimony?
…a family saga that glorifies God?
…a church or mission history that needs to be recorded?
I can help.
Whether you have a manuscript that just needs to be cleaned up or you’re starting from scratch, let’s work together to put your story in print.
I am currently accepting submissions for book length stories that glorify our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; personal testimonies; spiritual family legacies; the work of God through an organized church or ministry. Of the submissions I receive by April 30, 2022, I will choose one to write/edit pro bono (max 125 pages, a $20,000 value). A second-place story will be chosen for a 50% discount, and two runners-up will receive a 20% discount.
My last project was as editor for missionary Jay de Vries’ book Mission Acapulco: The Rocky Road of a Missionary to Mexico. I have self-published nine poetry chapbooks. (I can help with self-publishing as well.) I have written plays and skits performed in churches.
I gave my life to the Lord in 1982 and have had my own rocky road as a believer. I have served as deacon, Sunday school teacher/director, and usher team leader at various Lowcountry churches—Emmanuel Christian Fellowship (Pentacostal Holiness), Pointe North Community Church (Southern Baptist), and currently attending Reality Church in Goose Creek (non-denominational).
It’s my desire to serve the Kingdom of God by serving you; telling stories that matter, that impact hearts and minds for Christ, that exhort us to good works. That could be your story.
Send a copy of your manuscript or a Reader’s Digest version of your story to: writer@scottdanielmassey.com
Please include full name, address, phone number, and email.
The deadline for consideration for these discounts is April 30, 2022. The winners will be notified by May 15, 2022.
I look forward to hearing your stories and working with you to get them heard.
