About the author

I have been writing for twenty-five years. My favorite resource is scripture. A hunger for God’s Word took me to the campus of Precepts International in Chattanooga, Tennessee. There I learned the Inductive Bible Study method, which completely changed the way I view scripture.

I served for five plus years in a local chapter of CONTACT USA. While there I served on the board of directors and as a crisis line specialist. In addition I am certified by the American Association of Christian Counselors in Caring for People God’s Way. I remained an active member until 2005. I am currently retired.

After becoming a Christian, my desire to write and quest for answers were dedicated to understanding God’s message to man. What exactly was He saying and why were there so many different interpretations? As a result, I became an avid student of scripture. My book ‘Spiritual Compass’ contains excerpts from various articles written over the years. It also takes the reader on a simple walk through the Word of God and offers insights derived from the personal journey of others.

I am a widowed grandmother of eight, retired and living in Southwestern Virginia.

Review

This was a very interesting read! It is based on the Author's personal thoughts and interpretation of the Bible and I found it to be very thought provoking.

At one point I got chills while reading. As I began from where I had left off the night before, the words on the page were almost identical to a prayer between myself and God the previous night! I was astounded! I wondered how it was possible! Had I read farther the night before than I realized? But no. It was a prayer that I had been talking to God about for weeks prior to reading this book.

I haven't yet processed the odds of reasoning behind this coincidence, but the word for word similarity to my prayers has certainly resonated with me!

While it is possible that not everyone will agree with this Author's thoughts and interpretations, I feel that every one of those same people will come away with something useful and helpful in their day to day lives!

It is an easy read and well written. In my humble opinion, it appeared to be well researched, and written with the intent to not only be a guide throughout life alongside the Bible to her family but to anyone else that finds this book in their hands.

I could feel the Author's love for her family shining through the pages!

Review: 

In the fourth Clement book, we accompany Clement and Dagena on an exciting journey to Abyssinia, where they seek a unique relic and explore the mysteries of Prester John's colony. Set in medieval times, the story features Clement, a Templar Knight, exemplifying strong moral values such as loyalty, generosity, and duty, along with some good old mischief. Clement: Land of the Zagwe Kings is an engaging blend of adventure, chivalry, and romance suitable for all ages.

Content Rating:

Drug Content: PG- Only wine. This story takes place in medieval times where everyone, including children, drank wine. 

Violence PG- Nothing gory, however Clement does use his sword with effectiveness. 

Language G- No profanity. 

Adult Content- G- There is a romance between Clement and Dagena but only a few puppy love kisses. 

Christian Content: Clement is a Templar Knight, despite his youthfulness. Therefore, he is a follower of Christ and the Pope. Clement is morally straight, loyal to his friends, generous and giving in true Christian fashion.
