Christian Writers Wanted!

3nity will have a project coming up which we thought you, Christian Malaysian bloggers, could contribute too.

I'm attaching a brief write-up about it and you can visit www.manandgod.org to get an idea of what the original project was all about. It's geared for the arty-arty community :-)

In the first volume of Man + God, the Introduction explained:
"Today our eyes are hotwired to our guts. We see and we feel. And sometimes we think. So it seems appropriate that we look at some stuff that explores some very basic questions. Is there purpose? Is there God? Or are we just a bunch of accidental molecules that happened to be zapped by lightning?"


The volume then went on to present a visual smorgasbord of man's perceptions of God and spawned a series of accompanying exhibitions in such diverse places as Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Singapore, New York and Stuttgart. The creative juices really flowed for Man + God I, and the discussions that have been ignited continue to flavour conversations in some of the most unexpected of locations. We would hate to staunch the flow.

But how do we make a good thing even better?

That's where you come in.

The forthcoming companion volume, Man + God II, will showcase in words what the first volume did in visuals. Tell us, up to a maximum of 1,500 words,

What/Who God is to you? How do you relate to this Higher Power? Or don't you relate? Has it been a continuing journey? Or just a series of full stops and question marks? What's been good and what's sucked? Why do you hang in there? Why
does He hang in there?


While we are encouraging submissions from a wide spectrum of religious beliefs, this book, at the end of the day, points people to the Way, the Truth and the Life.

That's why it's important for us that Christian writers like yourself do present an engaging, thought-provoking viewpoint that'll help the seeker to think more
critically and deeply about this issue of a real faith. And that you'll have as much fun writing it as the reader will have reading it!

You have a choice of writing in English or Mandarin, and it would be great to get your submission by the last day of November 2006. The Art4Soul Editorial Team* reserves the right to make editorial changes as we see fit, but you will have a chance to vet the final copy before we hit the press. In the event that we're pleasantly overwhelmed by the response that comes in, the Editorial Team will also have the final say regarding whether your piece appears in hard copy or on our Man +
God II website.

Do drop us a line at bernice.lee@art4soul.org if we can look forward to your contribution. Queries can also be directed to the same address.

Be sure to give us your full mailing address with your submission so that we can contact you when it is released at the end of the year.

* The Editorial Team is made up of Joseph Foo, Tan Soo Inn and Bernice Lee.
