I agree! I checked this one out of the library, and it was great. Very inspiring and great information!
I'll put Sweet Agony on my reading list. In my book, failure isn't missing the mark, but the attitude that reflects the enemy's lie, "You are unworthy of victory. You are defeated already."
Victory and defeat are related to warfare, and rightly applied to the spiritual struggle we face in our writing and every other area of our lives. Spiritual warfare isn't some Perettiesque battle of winged critters. Each choice we face between good and best is a battle in our ongoing war with the flesh.
