The Southshire Pepperpot

Posted on April 27, 2006 by Ed Cyzewski

I will soon have a short story published in an anthology put together by the Southshire Roundtable called The Southshire Pepperpot. It will be available soon from Windstorm Creative for pre-orders.

The anthology is “an eclectic mix of prose and poetry full of whimsy, humor, reflection, wonder, along with a mouth-watering collection of recipes sure to inspire the cook or baker in us all.” Though I’m no chef, I had a fun time sharing my first experience with Turkish coffee while studying in Jerusalem. Included in the story is a recipe for Turkish coffee, something that I typically would prefer to leave to professionals!

Can You Afford Not to Blog?

Posted on March 18, 2006 by Ed Cyzewski

This is the question asked in a new book called Naked Conversations : How Blogs are Changing the Way Businesses Talk with Customers. Bloggers Robert Scoble and Shel Israel set out to show how blogs can foster trust and better communication between companies and their clients. Blogs may be one of the most powerful tools in regaining trust between clients and businesses.

Though the title is somewhat provocative, the subject material is essential for every business, especially non-profits to consider. Non-profits cannot afford to miss out on blogs. Since they rely so heavily on relationships, service, and donations, there is no such thing as too much trust or too much communication.

Posted on December 31, 1969June 30, 2014 by Ed Cyzewski

Enter the Christian Survival Guide giveaway today.

Why would you want to win a copy of the Christian Survival Guide?

Well, for starters, I ask a lot of tough questions about the Christian faith for you—the questions that often lurk in the backs of our minds. These are the questions we hesitate to ask because we fear there won’t be an answer that will enable our faith to survive.

In A Christian Survival Guide I dig into all of the questions and issues that have threatened my faith over the years and have given trouble to friends and colleagues. It’s not a book with simple answers or doctrinal statements. It’s a book that will help readers think about their faith and take a next step with the most difficult topics.

Bible scholar and author Pete Enns wrote:

“How should Christians handle their doubts, discomfort over violence in the Bible, fears about the future, or a number of other troubling issues that just never seem to go away? A Christian Survival Guide takes by the throat many challenging topics for Christians today and provides encouraging and thought-provoking glimpses into a Biblical responses. Cyzewski doesn’t spell out all of the answers. Rather, in an easy-reading style, he helps fellow pilgrims ask better questions and take the next steps on their journey of faith.”
