Pastor John, you address ghost writing back in July.

That was an asked Pastor John episode 129 and there you strongly opposed ghost writing

and you continue to strongly oppose ghost writing in all of its forms.

But you recently mentioned that you have more to say on ghost writing than what we covered

in that podcast episode.

So please share with us your new thinking here.

First of all, this is not about Mark Driscoll, Mark is a friend and he's dealt graciously

with me over the years and I want to do the same for him.

I don't know how Mark does his writing.

I know his name has been in the center stage.

That's not my point.

I want to trust Mark to do what's right.

My comments are about the much wider phenomenon because this thing about ghost writing goes

back as far as publishing goes and it is right across the board in secular and Christian

publishing and in my mind it's a scandal and I would like to encourage myself because

it relates to me.

I don't use any ghost writers in my books but I'm tempted now and then to have somebody

write a letter for me or something like that.

So I just want to preach to myself here and to all the others who care about this.

I googled an issue on this yesterday and the first thing that came up was a business called

a premier publishing services firm and the first promise they made goes this is the direct

quote.
