Newsletter
from Helena Lehman for the Pillar of Enoch Group List
Greetings Pillar of
Enoch Study Group Members!
It's
been awhile since I let all of you know what's going on with me, and my book
and web site ministry in the form of a newsletter. So, here is my first
newsletter installment for 2007.
First,
let me give all of you a little background into how I came to write my Language
of God Book Series. The original two manuscripts that became the Language of
God Book Series were written before 1991, and after many attempts to get these
two theological works published, I gave up in despair, and stopped attempting
to write books for a few years.
In
1993, I first felt inspired to try my hand at writing inspirational historical
romances, but found I had a hard time writing dialogue, and developing
characters. So, between 1994 and 1999, I went to quite a few writing seminars.
In 1996, I went to Louisiana to attend the Romantic Times Conference there, and
joined the Purple Prose Society at that time. I also joined the RWA. I learned
a good deal at their local meetings and regional conferences. I also tried my
hand at historical role-play on line for a few years during this period, and
learned a great deal about Ancient Egypt, and writing great dialogue doing so.
All this hard work at writing paid off, and eventually gave me a fairly good
set of writing and marketing skills.
In
2001, my inclination to want to write a grand book on Christian spirituality
returned with a vengeance. Subsequently, I abandoned my desire to write
historical romances, and retrieved my very first writing project, which I
finished back in 1991. It was a 345-page manuscript called the “Language of God
- Yah’s Nature Revealed in His Creation,” and to me, and many others out there
seeking spiritual answers, it is not a fiction! :-)
At
that time, I was called to re-examine that dusty old manuscript, dust it off,
and re-think what I’d written so long ago. This is when my inspiration began to
come in huge doses, and this motivated me to spend the last 5 years doing
intense research, writing, and drawing. What resulted after examining hundreds
of books, and writing thousands of pages is my four-book Language of God
non-fiction book series, which I feel is the crowning achievement of my life. Not
only are these books self-formatted, and self published, they are also
exhaustively indexed, and illustrated by myself alone. I even did the covers
they now have, which was no small task, and I believe God had everything to do
with my achievement of it. You can take a look at all four book covers, and
much more about my books at my Pillar of Enoch website at
http://pillar-of-enoch.com.
This
four-book series is almost finished now, with 2 books already in print, and two
books soon to be in print. The books now in print are “The Language of God in
the Universe,” and “The Language of God in Prophecy.” My other two books, “The
Language of God in Humanity” and “The Language of God in History” will be in
print by March 2007, and May 2007, respectively. Each one of these books has
their own home page at my web site, which include large PDF format excerpts
from the books, MP3 format interview files for the first two books, and links
to on line reviews.
Right
now, I am seeking spiritually minded people who are not daunted by scholarly
works to do reviews of these books for Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com. If
any of you think you might be interested, or know someone who would be
interested, please contact me privately.
Later
this year, after my non-fiction books are finished, I intend to start writing
my Pillar of Enoch Trilogy fiction series set in ancient times. These books
will have a romantic element in them, as well as be geared to teaching some
fundamental spiritual ideas that I believe originated with the righteous
descendents of Seth and Enoch before the Great Flood.
If
anyone here would like to proof read these books for me as they are finished,
please contact me. Though I can’t offer a large payment for your time, I will
do my best to pay any interested proofreaders a small stipend, give them an
acknowledgement in the book, and present them with a free autographed copy of
each book as they are finished.
In
the meantime, I hope some of you will check out my web site using the links
below, and give me some feedback if you have time. I’d be greatly appreciative.
