      Hey guys!
      I have the amazing opportunity to interview Philip Yancey, a best-selling evangelical Christian author. I need to come up with 10 questions to ask him.
      Since all of you are the ones mainly reading the interview I figured I’d ask you what you would want to know.

      If you’ve never heard of him, go do a quick Google search of him (it’s worth it), and then come back with your questions. 🙂

      Ask away!!

      And thanks guys! 🙂

        I’d ask what are his top ways of getting no believers to become interested in his books and his what is his personal testimony and what is his favorite part of writing and what he finds enjoyable or difficult about non-fiction

          And how he makes non-fiction interesting and engaging while still being informative and pithy…

              I love all these questions! I’m so glad I asked y’all! 🙂 Keep ’em coming! I’ll compile the top ten I think are best, but I’ll still use the rest in other interviews. 🙂

                Do you outline your books beforehand? Why or why not?
                What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned through years of writing?
                What’s a piece of advice you wish you knew as a young writer?
                What are some publishing tips?

                  What made him decide to write nonfiction above fiction… does he prefer to read one or the other… why or why not…
