The Biggest Project I Will Ever Undertake
Nov 6th, 2009 | By Douglas K. Adu-Boahen | Category: UncategorizedWell, maybe I have lost the plot finally. Maybe I have read one too many good books. Maybe. But I’ve decided to take on a task which will probably be the best task I have undertaken. I want to write a book, using only my summer holiday periods.
That means writing intensely in 6-8 week bursts. Like I said, possibly some synapse somewhere is blocking off my better judgment, however hear me out. Over the last few months, I’ve been contemplating the idea of putting on paper my researched thoughts on five topics (though not in this order):
- Evangelicalism’s View of Scripture
- Evangelicalism’s View of God
- Evangelicalism’s View of The Gospel
- Evangelicalism’s View of Man
- Evangelicalism’s View of the Church
Well, I’ve decided to do it – and in such a way as to not have it interfere with my degree. Will it be difficult? Most likely. Will be it a long process? Considering I’ll be writing this in 6-8 week bursts, once a year, this could be a while. But I’m really excited about the prospect of embarking on this task.
Well at this point, you may be asking, “Well, OK, nice idea – what can I do to help?”. Two things mostly:
PRAY – A lot of “sweat, blood, toils and tears” are ahead starting next summer, and your prayers will be much appreciated.
SUPPORT THE WISHLIST – I’m at an advantage in that I already own some 80-90% of the books I will need in my research, but there are still some gaps in that department. So I’ve set up a small Amazon wishlist with stuff which has some of the books I’ll need for my research. Any help would be much appreciated
Having prayed much about this in the last few weeks, I’m both nervous and excited about it and can only pray God will see fit to use this to His own glory. I’l be posting more information as I iron it out in my mind’s eye, so stay tuned
UPDATE: Fixed the wishlist link…

Wow, writing a book! That is not what I was expecting. It will be a big task but I'm sure it will be rewarding. Praying for you brother.
I tried to take a look at the Wishlist to see if there was anything I could help with, but it seems to be a bad link. I don't have much in the way of money, but I can pray, and I'll be keeping you and this project in my prayers!
Thanks for the support, Bro. Isaiah. Fixed the link on the wishlist – it was a misplaced colon. A simple misplaced colon – can't be making mistakes like that if I want to write a book LOL!
Thanks for the support, Mr Bingham

I need to take a look at your wish list and see if there is anything I want.
Wait! That's not right is it?
Best wishes to you, bro. I've got a few ideas of my own. I pray all goes well for you.
Douglas, how's the book coming?
Sir, always a joy to hear from you! I hope you and Mrs Jones are keeping well. The project ground to a halt for a bit, mostly because I considered shelving it, but recently I\’ve been newly inspired to pick it up again, and it\’s going well. Still got a month before I head back to university, so I\’m looking to make a little headway. Limited resources make writing a little hard, but hey, the Reformers had that – and they coped just fine LOL
