I received an email update today from my editor. Here’s what he wrote:
“I’m still working away here. It’s been a challenge - not because of the manuscript (it’s in great shape), but because of life stuff and illness. I’m guessing some spiritual warfare thing might be at play, too. Would make sense.”
One of the misconceptions [...]
You heard from Preston this week about the important editorial work that Steve is doing at this time.
What I need to add is an encouragement to pray for all the details of the printing process: finding the most suitable printing company, layout and design components coming smoothly together; design and cover of the eBook done [...]
Pres posting this.
Thank you, Reny, for keeping us focused and tribal. On Friday, five minutes before noon, I handed off “No Mercy” to Steve, my editor. You have been praying for him. As I write, he is hard at work.
Steve and I are proving to be a good team. You have prayed that [...]
You are faithful payer warriors and I am grateful for your partnership. Your prayers are making a difference: the substantive round of edits is coming to a close, Preston is pleased with the quality of the edits and how they enhanced the story line, the creation of the book is further along than it’s ever [...]
A main thread in the story line of No Mercy is God’s humble determination to meet his runaway son on his terms and demonstrate grace and mercy in midst of deliberate attempts to avoid Him at all cost. Many people need to understand Father’s loving pursuit, care and compassion. Many will read the book and [...]
“Whatever you are doing, keep doing it. It is working.”
Our Heavenly Father is gracious and loves to see His kids’ faith built up. He is answering your payers. The creation of the book is picking up speed and your intercession is providing the momentum for that. This week we had a major answer to prayer: [...]
Prayer tribe is off to a great start. Your prayers are effective. The battle with the e-mail management company was won within 24 hrs of your intercession. The subscription function on www.PrestonGillham.com appears to be working properly. You are a powerful group! And I am so privileged to lead in you this effort.
Here [...]
Several of you have written in response to the email company’s glitch and said, “Please, let me pray.”
Thank you.
Thank you for your patience, and thank you for praying. I believe your intercession has already made a difference.
When Reny’s “work around” email to the Prayer Tribe arrived in my Inbox last night, I felt as though [...]
Thank you for your readiness to be apart of a prayer cause that is worth fighting for. Advocating for Preston and his upcoming book No Mercy extends beyond just Preston and the book. It is an advocacy on behalf of many believers and non-believers who will be touched by the ministry and will be set [...]
We need to do a work around. I’m sorry for the hassle.
You were supposed to receive a link from my contracted email company to confirm your intent to join the Prayer Tribe. Some did, the majority of you did not.
I’m working diligently to remedy the foul up. The problem is wholly the email [...]

It’s Thursday night—probably Friday morning by the time you read this post. I was just sitting by the fire and thinking backward when it occurred to me that I should let you know what’s on my mind.
I fought a brutal battle against feeling insignificant for years–and have now written a book about it called, [...]
Seth Godin writes in his blog today that he wants to hear my opinion. Based upon my reading of Godin, I imagine if he were my boss, he would want to hear my opinion—or my comment.
But leaders like Godin are not as common as they could be. Dianne and I have been reading through [...]
As you read my posts from the last few days, you can practically hear frustration oozing from the lines. The technical glitch was ridiculous. Getting it resolved bordered on insane. But I persisted. The glitch is gone (I think).
I am persistent. Persistence has carried me up and over Paradise Divide on my bicycle—and back [...]
Dianne (my wife) and I want to introduce you to a dear friend, Reny Madjarska, and ask you to join her in forming a Prayer Tribe to pray for us and my nearly-completed book, “No Mercy.”
Reny and I worked together for eleven years at Lifetime Guarantee Ministries. She is talented, trustworthy, and has a [...]
A lot of folks figure that if you are a follower of Christ and lead people that you are a Christian leader. That’s trite. Too simplistic, and therefore contributes to abetting the enemy’s tactic of rendering Christianity and Christian leadership irrelevant, distant, and out of touch.
One aspect of leadership is leading the way. You [...]
Leadership is a delicate balance between building consensus and taking charge.
This week is not my own. I am sharing the kitchen, our bedroom, the bath, my study, and every other square inch of my world with my niece and nephew—ten and seven respectively. Since we are not their parents, Dianne and I are free to [...]
As I find my bearings working from home, I am realizing that maintaining my priorities is proving more difficult than I anticipated. Just as I have been for the last 30 years, I am still my own boss. However, going to the office each day helped me define my work life and the rest of [...]
On the first day of September 2008 I began working from home. Not all at once, but gradually. I co-founded and then served as President and Chairman of a nonprofit for almost thirty years. Hanging up my spurs was quite a change.
After a few days of fly fishing to clear the cobwebs I began [...]
I’m impressed. Somehow you have found PrestonGillham.com without me telling you it exists. How did you do that? I thought I was invisible to the spiders of the web. Ha.
Since you are here, I will let you in on my plan. The next few weeks are filled with uncertainty. There are travels, an assortment [...]
