Dear Behind the Bookcase readers,

After months of weeks and prayer, I have been forced to make a difficult decision. Behind the Bookcase is going offline. I've found the requirements for writing such reflective and spiritual essays each week to be more than I can continue to do--at least for the time being. The project remains intact, however, as I plan to continue to write about the themes of the blog in an abridged form. If you'd like to receive emails regarding the articles that grow out of the project, please let me know.

I have had so much encouragement from my readers, and for that I am ever grateful. Thank you for your prayers, your kind words, and your time. And I hope that by making this tough decision, I can better serve you and the project.

Thanks again,

Emily Whitten
