Earth to Echo with Henry Gayden

The StoryMen welcome Hollywood screenwriter Henry Gayden. Henry's new film, Earth to Echo, is the story of four friends who find something extraordinary in the desert.

What do you find most challenging about the business of writing?

By JR. Forasteros

JR. lives in Dallas, TX with his wife Amanda. In addition to exploring the wonders that are the Lone Star state, JR. is the teaching pastor at Catalyst Community Church, a writer and blogger. His book, Empathy for the Devil, is available from InterVarsity Press. He's haunted by the Batman, who is in turn haunted by the myth of redemptive violence.
