Panel Discussion Schedule
•11 a.m. – 11:10 a.m.
Welcome
•11:15 a.m. - 11:35 a.m.
Writing as a Tool for Christian Ministry - Part 1 (Evangelist Annette Morton, Lynette Harrison, Lynn Pinder) As Christian authors, we have a call on our lives to write for more than entertainment. The real-life testimonies (non-fiction) and the creative stories/parables (fiction) we share in our books help introduce readers to biblical principles that help them lead Christ-full lives.
• 11:45 a.m. – Noon
Poetry as Praise Panel (Jerome Redd, Terry Catherine Potillo, Maxine Bigby Cunningham) Defined by some as the measured language of emotion, poetry it is the art of prose or rhythmical composition - written or spoken. The poems we share in our books proclaim beautiful, imaginative, heart-stirring and thought-provoking homage to God while offering readers a look into our individual journeys of faith.
• 12:10 – 12:35 p.m.
Writing to Disciple the Youth (Linet Kiplagat, Caprice Smith, Eugene Williams) Today, more than ever, our youth need more Godly influences to help them develop into well-rounded men and women. The books we write help young people grow in their Christian walk and equip adults who work with youth with effective, Christian-based teaching tools.
•12:45 p.m. – 1:10 p.m.
My Words Become My Praise - (Ministry in song by Carmen Calhoun, an Author, Psalmist and Songwriter) Carmen Calhoun is a songwriter, psalmist and author. With two music CDs – Broken and Blessed & Life - and a third CD on the way, Carmen shares Godly insight in a unique harmonious way that rocks listeners into praise for the Lord Jesus Christ!

Christian Writers/Author Resource Panel (Shawn Mason Spence, K. Leith) Panelists will share expert advice and resource information that help writers or aspiring writers grow their book ministries.

Healing Words - Part 1 (Dr. Steven Haymon, Louise Sutherland, Michelle Addison Jones) We live in a dying world where people are hurting and living "dead" lives void of God's promises. Our books help people understand that "life" is in the Word of God and healing stems from a "renewed" life in Christ. We write books that inspire, uplift and encourage the daily application of God's words in our readers' lives.
• 2:25 p.m. – 2:45 p.m.
Christian Fiction: Stories that Harvest Souls for Christ (Michelle D. Jackson, Melody Ravert, Kimberly Holmes) The Holy Bible is filled with short stories/parables that Jesus used to help his followers understand the truth of His Word. In our books, we use our Holy Ghost imagination to create fiction novels, novellas and/or short stories that introduce our readers to life-changing principles found in God's word (The Holy Bible).
• 2:50 p.m. - 3:10 p.m.
Healing Words - Part 2 (Elder Nicole Barber, Jewel Williams, Dr. Joey N. Jones) We live in a dying world where people are hurting and living "dead" lives void of God's promises.
