After writing over fifty books, Pastor John explains his six-stage process, from gathering the initial idea to seeing the project come to life. John Piper has written over fifty books.

So I’d love to hear about the process you use to write your books, and I doubt I’m alone here. Assuming that every book (I’m sure) is a little different, what are some common stages you go through in writing your books?
