You have enjoyed reading the prayers for writers that Bob writes on this blog, including one just a week and a half ago. Now you can have them all in one collection. (Yes, this is a shameful plug, not endorsed by Bob.)
In cooperation with The Christian Writers Institute, the new book 100 Prayers for Writers will officially release tomorrow, August 19th (2025).
This little 128-page book is designed for portability and priced for gift-giving. The retail price is only $11.99. Unfortunately, Amazon is not discounting the paperback yet. But you can still get it here (Amazon Link). If you prefer an ebook, that is priced at $6.99 (Kindle Link)
Fortunately, ShopTheWord.com has it for 30% off, starting tomorrow ($8.15) (ShopTheWord Link). Plus, all orders over $35 are free freight. That means you can buy five copies, get the free freight, and give four of them away to your writer friends!
This book is a sheer delight. Enjoy a few of the endorsements if you aren’t sure about buying a copy for yourself:
“These prayers are just what every faith-based writer needs.” – Jerry B. Jenkins
“Bob Hostetler’s 100 Prayers for Writers is not merely a book—it is a threshold. A sacred, prayer-soaked passage where ink meets Spirit, and the act of writing is transfigured into a holy encounter. With a poet’s tenderness and a prophet’s fire, Hostetler beckons us to lace our words into the fabric of God’s grand narrative. Each prayer thrums with raw honesty, contending with the terror of the blank page and the thrill of divine spark. For writers longing to craft not just with skill but with soul, this book is manna in the wilderness—a Godstorm of inspiration to enflame your art and hallow your calling.” – Leonard Sweet
“You should be warned that if you buy the print version of this book, you’ll wear it out from use. And yes, it might be cliché to say Hostettler’s 100 Prayers are beautiful and poignant, uplifting and inspiring, but I’m saying it anyway because it’s absolutely true. I’ll meditate on these prayers daily, and there’s an extremely high chance you will as well.” – James L. Rubart
