This month is the eighth installment of a new feature on the Gospel-Centered Discipleship website to coach writers. Each month I take one paragraph from a GCD article to highlight some aspect of what makes for good writing. I’ll point out what made the writing work so well and how we can incorporate more of that writerly goodness into our craft.

This month I use Lara d’Entremont’s article “Where Doctrine Meets the Desolate” to talk about the principle that good writing needs tension.

I also mention Timothy Keller’s article “Growing My Faith in the Face of Death” and my article, “Bending the Covid Bow of Bronze.”
