Workmanship Writing
The title of this site comes from Ephesians 2:8-10, but it especially focuses on the word “workmanship” found in verse 10, “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.” The word for “workmanship” has a rich meaning, that can refer to any type of creative work. So, like a painter with his painting, a sculptor with his statue, or a writer with his poem, so God invests in us until we are a masterpiece He loves and treasures. This verse has been an inspiration to me in my personal life and in my creative journey as a writer.
This site is also gradually growing into my author website. My books of poetry, A Man’s Shield and Fortress and How to Slay a Serpent, are available through the links below.
I’m Stephen Ritchie. A handful of years ago, I graduated from Messiah College with my English Bachelors Degree with a concentration in writing. Throughout my time in college it stood out to me how Jesus taught through metaphors and parables, and how God’s primary way to communicate with His people is through a story, the Bible. Since then I have felt called to help others come to know God in a deeper way through my writing. I have worked as a teacher in private and public schools in Florida and Pennsylvania. In addition to blogging here and teaching, I’m the author of two books of poetry, A Man’s Shield and Fortress, How to Slay a Serpent, and my new fantasy novel, Anthemia: Kingdom of Heroes.
