As a veteran of twenty-five years, author John B. Carter would never have thought there would be a need to just sit down and write. But as he lay in bed at night, the words tumbled out. As the words formed thoughts, the thoughts became ramblings, like the sound of busy railroad tracks through his mind. First one thought, and then, another. He realized the only way he was going to sleep was to record those words on paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Words on the Page<\/em><\/strong>, he offers a compilation of these ramblings, giving his dreams, his experiences, and his memories a home. The selections speak to his faith, his life, and those he loves. From Advent to Easter and from summer to autumn, Carter records the midnight thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this process, he discovered writing paved his road to a new normal, to journey down paths of healing. Carter encourages others to write, not just from the standpoint of faith, but from trauma, from fears, and from life\u2019s experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
