Thanks, Falla. I'm not sure how I will go about trying to publish it yet. Of course, it would be nice if a large publisher would pick it up.  But I am not sure they would be interested. I will probably try that route first though. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

It's your story whether others like it or not. I'm interested to read it.

We have been out of the UPC for 6 years now. My how time flies. I could not even sit down and start before this without getting way too emotional. Now, it's just flying out. I have written 11 chapters in a brief period. I am writing about Home Missions now. I am not sure how I will do when I start writing about the established pastorate.
Anyway, just saying I'm finally writing it, if anyone is interested.

Re: I've Started Writing
Well, I wrote the first draft of another chapter today. Took all day, and I've got a long way to go. I really appreciate knowing the interest. Thanks.

Re: I've Started Writing
ILG,
You may know this already, but CreateSpace is an Amazon company that prints on demand. I published a book about Guatemala this year through them, and the quality is good. In the event that a publisher doesn´t pick it up, that could work out for you.

Thanks for the tip. I don't know anything about publishing so any pointers will be a help.

Thanks! I went out to your site about your book and like what I see! I see you can publish a few ways.
