I thank God for Denise George who helped me hone my professional songwriting skills into writing books, children’s stories, and devotionals. Denise’s instruction and guidance will inspire you in your calling as a writer.

Denise George not only served as my writing professor, she also provided inspiration and continual encouragement to take up the art of writing as a ministry for Christ and His Church. From my days in seminary, sitting under her teaching, I have written over a dozen books and nearly one hundred articles for both academic and popular-level publications. This has helped me secure important teaching positions in colleges and seminaries as well as provide material to help fellow believers in their Christian life!

Denise is a painter of word pictures that inspire, encourage, and equip others. Through Denise, I learned the value of a special writing place, how to prioritize writing times, how to handle writer’s block, and how to reimagine written work. I even learned how to get unstuck. Denise’s teaching is personal, accessible, transparent, funny, and engaging. She took a gift that God gave me as a child who enjoyed writing and gave me tools, a listening ear, a place to be sharpened, and a standard to strive for without urging her mentees to dilute their own voices.
