Inspired By a Blank Screen
Re-boot your Spiritual Life
Irene Howat
file; close file; delete file; save; save as; save a copy; print; ruler; tools; toolbars; help; shutdown; restart - these are the keys to re-booting your faith!
Best-selling author, Irene Howat, has written many successful biographical books but she also knows what it is like to see the Christian life 'through a screen blankly'.
She is used to providing us with insight and inspiration form her studies of her subjects' lives but in her research she knows that often a model Christian life is anything but. Everyone is not always as triumphant as it is sometimes depicted in biographies of inspirational Christians. You know - there is hope for you still!
So next time you look at the commands that surround the blank screen on your computer you will know how to write your life's story to a more satisfactory ending.
Who knows! One day Irene may be writing about your life!

"Irene Howat takes inspiration from her computer and using the workings of a Word document to illustrate how to live the Christian life. There is advice on what to save, what to print, what to copy, what to delete, rules and tools, and how to shut down and restart!"
"Over the course of twenty years, I have learned to use my word-processor fairly efficiently: as I read this book, I felt deeply challenged as to whether I had learned equally thoroughly how to live the Christian life - not merely efficiently, but more importantly, as a humble ‘copy' of the life of my Lord and Saviour."

"The very title of this excellent book is intriguing. The author has clearly used the computer to illustrate and examine the various fundamentals of the Christian faith. This is done in an entirely original way by using commands shown on a computer screen... The book will be of value not only to the individual reader but to church leaders, pastors and study group."
