Hey Crashers,
Have you ever heard the expression “Everyone has a book in them”? What if your book needs to be written? Where do you start? What would you do? What would you write about?
Celina Mina asked the same question in 2022, and after months of work, she has finally launched “Seasons,” a hybrid memoir.
Maybe your future is only a decision or pen stroke away!
Grace and Peace,
Cass & Rich

On Becoming an Author.
This week, we caught up with our friend Celina Mina, who has recently released her first book, a hybrid memoir. She’s a wonderful friend and writer - her experience and background as an editor served her well as she embarked on the quest to write a legacy piece that became a volume to help a much wider audience.
Here’s what her official bio says…
Celina Evelyn Mina is an Australian preacher, teacher, and writer based in Copenhagen, Denmark. She is a part of the communication team at ARK CPH and loves helping people apply biblical principles to everyday living. Celina is a gifted communicator known for the way she unpacks Scripture and weaves personal stories into her messages to illustrate the relevance and power of the Bible in all areas of life.
We hope you enjoy the video recording of our conversation. There are nuggets of wisdom for us all as we aim to please God, live well, and create things that go beyond ourselves.
Celina was good enough to share an excerpt from the book, which is available for our paid subscribers below. Enjoy!
