Should I Write A Spiritual Book

The Decision To Write A Spiritual Book Is A Personal.

Here’s something you won’t know about me. I was an ordained minister for over 20 years.

I considered writing spiritual books and have made some offerings on the fringe but nothing too heavy.

I think writing a spiritual book is extremely personal. I also think you have to have an incredibly good reason to write such a book.

My shelf is packed with spiritual books. The last one I bought is a huge volume that includes many religious beliefs. It is called, ‘The Life of Man.’

Did you know one of England’s greatest writers wrote a spiritual book? The writer’s name is Charles Dickens. He wrote, ‘The Life of Our Lord’ for his children. He felt the life of Jesus was so important he should write almost a synopsis about it for his children as he felt they would never read the Bible.

It also depends on various other factors, including your interests, beliefs, and experiences. Here are a few notes to help you decide:

1. Passion and Purpose:

   • Are you passionate about spirituality and have a deep understanding or personal experience to share?

   • Do you have a clear purpose or message you want to convey through your book?

2. Audience:

   • Who is your target audience? Consider whether there is a specific group of people who would benefit from or be interested in your spiritual insights.

3. Knowledge and Research:

   • Ensure that you have a solid understanding of the spiritual concepts you want to discuss. Conduct research and draw from both personal experiences and existing knowledge.

4. Unique Perspective:

   • What unique perspective or insights do you bring to the table? Consider how your voice and experiences differentiate your book from others in the genre.

5. Writing Skills:

   • Assess your writing skills. Can you effectively communicate your thoughts and experiences in a way that engages and resonates with readers?

6. Commitment:

   • Writing a book requires time, effort, and commitment. Are you ready to dedicate the necessary resources to see the project through?

7. Impact:

   • Consider the potential impact your book may have on readers. Are you aiming to inspire, guide, or provide comfort? Clarifying your intentions can help shape your writing.

8. Self-Reflection:

   • Take some time for self-reflection. Why do you want to write a spiritual book? Understanding your motivations can help you stay focused and true to your message.

If, after considering these factors, you feel compelled to share your spiritual insights and believe that writing a book is the right medium for your message, then it will probably be a rewarding and fulfilling endeavour. Remember that writing is a journey, and the process can be as valuable as the finished product.
