Hi Mark,
Weird request here. I\u2019m in the process of putting together a new book that Guideposts will be publishing in 2011. It\u2019s a non-denominational devotional for new moms, but I\u2019d really like to dedicate one devotional a month to a dad\u2019s perspective. I\u2019m hoping you know some witty (or at least energetic and good-natured) young dad who has a good eye for seeing God in the little things of life. Decent writing skills would be helpful, too. <\/p>\n

The aim of Daily Guideposts: Your First Year of Motherhood<\/em> is to help the reader deal with the real and sometimes unexpected aspects of motherhood: changing prayer life, surprising (and possibly uncomfortable) emotions, dealing with careers and kids, addressing things that get \u201cstuck\u201d in a mom\u2019s relationship with God (or husband or friends or extended family). We want the book to be practical and moving, based on real-life experiences in which the writers have had moments of insight into faith. We\u2019re not looking for general meditations on Scripture, and we don\u2019t want preaching, teaching, or moralizing. The concept is to let the reader walk alongside experienced moms (and one dad), and learn from the lessons they\u2019ve learned. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ll pay a per-piece rate, with rights retained by Guideposts<\/em>.<\/p>\n

If you know of a dad who might be interested, please have him contact me ASAP (I\u2019m on a tight deadline). <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you are interested, email me and I will send you her address.<\/p>\n
