This book, Shouts and Whispers: Twenty-One Writers Speak About Their Writing and Their Faith is due out in mid-April.
From website: It includes interviews with such celebrated writers as Anne Lamott, Kathleen Norris and Paul Schrader and essays by such stalwarts as Frederick Buechner, Madeleine L'Engle, Bret Lott, Thomas Lynch, Katherine Paterson, Luci Shaw, Barbara Brown Taylor and Walter Wangerin Jr..
I'm especially looking foward to reading the contributions from Anne Lamott, Madeleine L'Engle, and Frederick Buechner.
Anne Lamott is currently one of my favorite authors. I started out with her book on writing, Bird by Bird, and then went on to her two books on faith and life, Traveling Mercies and Traveling Mercies, Plan B. I am now working through all of her novels.
Madeleine L'Engle, of course, is the author of such classic fiction as A Wrinkle in Time (tesseract, anyone?), and many others. My favorite books of hers, and one that I think everyone should read, is Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art.
While I have not yet read any of Frederick Buechner's novels (a problem I hope to rectify soon), I very much enjoy the collection of his writings Listening to your life. My introduction to him was through Michael Card, as his '94 album Poiema is based on Buechner's writings.

Their tagline: “It’s not MySpace… It’s His Space! – Social networking just got Christian”.
