When I sat down with my then-8-year old on the red chair in early March of 2014, having just read a pretty boring children's book and said, "Wow, that book was pretty bad." I then immediately followed up with, "We can do better than that." My son looked at me like I was crazy (I was) and challenged me to follow through on my dare (I did). Within a month, we had a book published. Now we can boast almost all of the list below: 1.) We have sold 1,000,000+...

Join Joseph Pearce as he explores the great theological depth of the most popular work of literature in the twentieth century, J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Despite the absence of any direct mention of Christ or the Catholic Church, Tolkien described his work as "fundamentally religious and Catholic." He was able to infuse his fictional world with theological orthodoxy through his creation of myth and a world order. Endowing his protagonists...

It was important to me because I needed my fix of travel, my escape from the fast-paced world of the everyday. It's not Tahiti, or Thailand, or even Hawaii; it's Interstate 5. It's not far away, unique, or in the slightest bit exotic. That's just it, the secret is that it doesn't need to be. I wear an uncontrollable dopey smile for my small victories over the ordinary.

This isn't called a "Playbook" for nothing. I just don't like the term "work." Don't think I'm a slouch. If you knew how many hours, days, weeks, months, and years I've put into my writing, my teaching, my, well, most everything I do, you'd wonder why I didn't just take the job at Trader Joe's long ago. But I can't. I won't. I'm a writer. For me, writing is play. It's no longer work. In fact, not much for me, at least what I create is "work" in...

That one thing is, well, yeah, sorry about this but, it's......

Just a little "daily momentum"? No problem, right? But what if you're stuck? Maybe you've been trying to break through but just can't seem to get ahead. Every day seems like groundhog day: the same disappointment as yesterday. Or worse: one step forward and two steps back....
