Publisher's preface: "As a believer in the power of the printed word to reach people and change them, I revere the work that Michael Henderson has done over the last half century.
So I asked him what his credo was, what drove him to write, to broadcast, give talks.
He sent me a talk that he gave to a group of Christian writers in the United States, where he was living. It is, I believe, a great guide for all who are called to communicate the good news of God." John Munro
From the back cover: ‘I would like to encourage the thought that the individual can still affect events around him and let people know that there are many hope-giving events happening around the world they never see in the headlines.
‘I fear that many are getting like the lady I sat next to in a plane recently. I said I was a journalist. She said, “I haven't subscribed to a newspaper in months and I feel so much better. It's like when I gave up smoking.”’ Michael Henderson
This talk by Michael Henderson was given to the Oregon Association of Christian Writers at Western Baptist College, Salem, January 28, 1984. It is, I believe, totally relevant to today.
