Study
Tell us a bit about yourself.
I
teach first and second graders at church and have a special place in my heart
for children. I am self-employed and do transcription. I do cross stitch, and
love the study of languages. I have a minor in Bible.
What is one of your favorite positive sayings or quotes?
The
important thing is this: to be able to sacrifice at any moment what we are for
what we could become -- Charles DuBois.
Who or What inspired you to start writing this book?
Vic
Moran, a teacher at the church I attend, taught a class on the book of James.
In it he spoke about how trouble can be a reason for joy and that this concept
is hard for us to understand. This peaked my curiosity of what else the Bible
taught about it.
What three words would you use to describe this book?
Perseverance,
Faith, Joy
Who is your target group for this book?
People
who are going through a difficult time and need encouragement could gain a lot
from this book.
Tell us about this book.
Joy
and Trouble are often seen together in life. Many people who go through very
difficult times seem to come out stronger than before they went through them.
Does the Bible teach about this concept? This book explores this concept.
What do you hope people will gain from reading this book?
I
want people to know that there are others who have gone through some very
difficult times. They got through to the other side, and although their life
wasn't what it was before, they grew stronger and found out new things about
themselves.
Is your book in Print, ebook or both?
My
book is in print and is also available as an ebook.
What advice would you give to other Writers?
Writing
is easier when you are on a quest to discover knowledge. Use that quest to
share what you learned with others.
Tell us the link where potential readers can buy this book.
Any additional links?
Is there anything else you would like to share about this book?
This book has 12 short chapters with study
questions which could be used in a small group setting.
Thank
you so much for taking the time to do this interview and allowing us a glimpse
into your world.
