June-Cec Murphey Appreciation Month
Cec Murphey at the CCWC
Years ago, a young curly-haired guy promised God he would write his best for him and never stop learning the craft of writing. He also promised that he would help other writers along the way. Cec Murphey, author of over 140 books has kept his promise to write his best for the Lord. He and Don Piper co-authored Don Piper’s story, 90 Minutes in Heaven, which has been on the New York Times best seller list more than three years and has sold more than four million copies. That is the first part of his promise to God. The second part is that he would help other writers along the way. Cec has done that too. He has poured thousands of dollars into hundreds of writers, many of whom are also speakers. Cec Murphey has provided scholarships for writers to attend major conferences such as the Blue Ridge Mountain Christian Writers Conference, the Colorado Christian Writers Conference, the Florida Christian Writers Conference, the Greater Philadelphia Christian Writers Conference, Mt. Hermon Christian Writers Conference, Quad-Cities Christian Writers Conference, Sandy Cove, and Write-to-Publish. He has given authors/speakers scholarships for marketing and publicity, to the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association (AWSA) Conference, and to the She Speaks Conference in North Carolina. Where would many of us be without this generous man who loves to write his best for the Lord and loves to help other writers? Thank you so much, Cec. We love you and appreciate you. May we follow in your footsteps and become helpful and generous as you are.
