Eating The Scroll

Biblical Encouragement and Skills for Christian Writers

A course to inspire and encourage you to write, devised as the Lord led me out of lockdown lethargy:

EATING THE SCROLL

‘Then (God) said to me, “Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it.” So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth.’ Ez. 3:3

WRITING AS WORSHIP

A short, Bible-based, online course over two weekends to inspire, encourage and support Christian writers so that we can respond to God’s call and write with confidence and joy.

If you are always juggling and struggling to prioritize your writing, if you wonder why anybody might want to hear from you, if you feel writing is just too lonely and speculative…

What My Students from more than Seven Different Nations Have Said About this Course:

  • “I found ‘Eating the Scroll’ extremely encouraging and affirming, with a lovely supportive group atmosphere. I loved Bobbie’s way of grounding our call to write in the heart of our Creator God. I heartily recommend this course.” Sarah Sansbury, (France)
  • “The course was for me a kind of commissioning. There was a growing sense of ‘I could do this’ moving to ‘I am going to go for it’ which has led to my first foray away from the poetry/short story form to a longer story which I have now kicked off.” John Wakeman (UK) 
  • “The course felt like a retreat. Bobbie delivered carefully paced spiritual input which gave time for my thoughts to interweave her presentations and for prayer. I came to trust that God would speak to me within the timespan of the course and he did.” Christine Cleave, (UK)
  • “I have wings. I just didn’t know how to use my wings!” Silke Hansen (Germany)
  • “I am not so overwhelmed now. I feel I can write my book.” Lynne Pieterse (S. Africa)

  • “This course was an appointment of soul and faith, deliciously shared with Christians from all over the world.” Virginie Barrois, (France)
  • “I was so moved by the whole course, I think just as much by the material you presented as by the company of saints across the big pond (and in Canada)…that we can be so “close” so quickly, in a sense, because we share our Heavenly Father.” Liz Smith (USA)
  • “I really felt the Holy Spirit was hovering over the course… It helped a great deal to think about calling, motivation and loving our readers.” Liz Evershed (UK)
  • “I have absolutely loved this course!! The value of what you gave us through your teaching, your encouragement and your gift for explaining things hand-in-hand with the Holy Spirit was just such a gift! It’s been a joy!” Lizzie Ashfield, (UK)
  • This course, with its soul and its faith, came at just the right moment for me. Being together with Christians from all over the world was a delight.” Virginie Barrois (France)
  • “I found the subjects covered were very appropriate and helpful. It was a great motivation to pursue, and to have faith in, God’s call to write.” Nick Stead (UK)
  • “Stimulating and enriching ideas about our craft and our motivations.” Naomi J, (Canada)
  • “This course has helped me re-focus my writing through the lens of faith, as I hoped it would. Bobbie has clearly structured and thought through her material in depth and with great care, and it was enjoyable to interact with a diverse group of fellow Christian writers.” Bess Twiston-Davies, (Spain)

  • “The best part of the course was…”

…”the emphasis on writing in partnership with the creative Holy Spirit.”

… “the one-to-one with Bobbie.”

Bobbie Ann Cole – Christian Writer, Speaker and Writing Teacher

Though I have 3 Christian books to my name—2 Amazon #1 bestsellers and a debut novel in 2019—I struggled to focus during lockdown, which left me listless and floppy. So bad that I stopped writing.

But lockdown—and a call from God—got me started with researching what He wants of us Christian writers. The answers I’ve found have inspired and enthused me and led to the creation of Eating the Scroll, a super exciting program that I’m looking forward to sharing with you.

Support, Encouragement and Insights for Christian Writers

I’m a qualified teacher and have a post-graduate Diploma in Creative Writing from Goldsmiths College, University of London, and a Certificate in Novel Writing from City University, London.
