Celebrate Your Local Church!
Your local church is a community of believers with a story to tell. Write a book about your history and highlight the people who were faithful to God over the years.
Every church has a wonderful tale of history, biography, and powerful faith to tell.

He explains how you can do it individually or as part of a church committee. He offers tips about how to collect data and interview people. Importantly, he reveals how you gain congregation enthusiasm to finance the project and achieve sales.
Hughes even discusses how freelance writers can specialize wi writing local church histories on contract so they don’t have to rely on patchy sales of other types of books.
This is the book you need to launch your local church history adventure.
