FaithWriters.com, the Premier Site for Christian Writers, has Released its Tenth Anthology, "FaithWriters-Abundance of Life."

FaithWriters.com has released another in their series of anthologies called "FaithWriters-Abundance of Life."

Livonia, MI (PRWEB) September 4, 2007 -- The process of writing can be a very personal journey that is often reserved for personal reflection. The end result may never be shared with a larger audience. However, in the case of the new anthology from FaithWriters.com the idea of sharing the abundance of life brought an inspiring collection of stories as writers effectively caught the imagination of readers by sharing their own stories.

Deborah Porter is the Coordinator for the FaithWriters.com Writing Challenge. You might think that after ten volumes she might grow weary of the process, but her excitement for "Abundance of Life" is quite evident.

"Personally, this book is one of my favorites." she admitted. "It overflowed with the zest of life and everything that God has for those who love Him."

The challenge is a ten-week marathon. There is no sprint to the finish line. Each author must evaluate the subject matter and determine the best personal story for submission on a given topic. In the end, as many as 200 submissions were pared down to eight top entries that were included in "FaithWriters--Abundance of Life ". What that means is as many as 2,000 stories were evaluated on multiple criteria to derive the exceptional 80 stories found in this latest anthology. Subject matter includes stories related to fulfillment, inner strength, love, hope, joy, peace, abundance and life.

FaithWriters--Abundance of Life (ISBN: 1414109504, Pleasant Word, 2007, $18.99) is a collection of 80 award winning inspirational, encouraging, and entertaining messages by over 50 of the very best Christian authors from the FaithWriters.com Writing Challenge--including both long established FW alumni as well as creative new talent.

Lynda Schab is a regular when it comes to the challenge. Her submissions have garnered tremendous response from readers. Of her placement in "Abundance of Life" Schab says, "Sometimes I get emotionally overwhelmed. The thought that my work has touched the various judges of The Challenge enough for them to put me in the top eight is humbling." Schab sums up her feelings, "Seeing my name in a FaithWriters book never gets old!" This sentiment is echoed among the other authors represented among the pages of "FaithWriters--Abundance of Life".

Jan Ackerson is also featured in the latest volume and her response to finding acceptance in this edition is exceptionally personal. Ackerson notes, "Contributing to the anthologies confirms for me that what I am seeing when I look in the mirror is, indeed a writer. Often, I don't feel in the least bit like a writer, but rather like an interloper who has snuck onto a writing website and is hanging around just until someone yells 'Imposter!' and points an accusing finger in my direction. But no--I can wave an anthology at the accuser and say 'See? I am a writer, I am!' And there's always the hope that someone, somewhere, will read one of my little stories and will gasp with recognition-- this person wrote a story for me! This is my story!''"

This volume joins nine others with the promise of additional volumes. After coordinating and editing the first ten books in this series Porter realizes her work behind the scenes is helping to produce positive literature. "It is inspirational from start to finish," Porter concluded
