Do you share your story? by Brendan Conboy

The Book Blest Christian Book Festival takes place on Friday 6^th and Saturday 7^th September with a stellar lineup of authors. You might recognise some of their names: Martin Leckebush, Susan Sutherland, Letitia Mason, Fiona Linday, Mike Peacock, Andy March, Philip S Davies, Eve Bonham, Karen Martin, Neil Obbard, Paul Wreyford, Maressa Mortimer and Brendan Conboy (yes, that’s me). To find out more about each of these authors visit the website here.

This year, the ACW presence will be strong as Jane Walters kicks off each day with a short devotional and will be available throughout the festival to answer any ACW-related questions. Adrian Plass (ACW President) and his wife, Bridget will join us on Friday for an evening of both hilarious and serious tales. This is a pay-as-you-feel event; you can book your tickets here or just turn up.

Each of the authors has a story to tell, to encourage others to write or indeed to read. With stories such as life as a sniper, living with dementia or stimulation for the imagination in fantasy fiction, biblical fiction or the escapism of comedy. The programme is packed full of variety including the ever-popular author forum and a workshop on beating imposter syndrome.

We all have a story to tell and when we share it with others, God changes lives. JK Rowling said, “There's always room for a story that can transport people to another place." Whether you come and spend the whole weekend or pop in and out for the authors that take your fancy, we are certain that you will be transported to a place to meet with God.
