There are those who ask why I write. This is why! I want the Lord to use me as His instrument. To think that Ellie's story spoke to you in a special way makes my soul rejoice. Thanks so much for this wonderful post.<br /><br />For the record, you are an amazing woman. You have touched me in so many ways with your kindness, generosity, caring, godliness, and, yes, even your wonderful sense of humor.

I believe some things need to be brought to light and fiction can do that in an entertaining way. God must have something in mind for my writing because He has brought people, opportunities and circumstances into my life recently that show me He cares about these stories. It will be interesting to see what He does with them. <br />Blessings<br />JanJan Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16617976979678082323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392393277880937685.post-45535172858907775912012-07-31T06:54:29.030-07:002012-07-31T06:54:29.030-07:00Both Susan May Warren and Rachel Hauck are experts...Both Susan May Warren and Rachel Hauck are experts at weaving God's truth through their novels.<br />I love the symbolism woven through The Wedding Dress (Rachel H.) and just had a sneak peek at one of Susie's upcoming books -- once again it had a strong scriptural truth woven through it.<br />What Iike is how these authors (and Keli, too) wove the truth so that it was organic to the plot. It wasn't forced. <br />Each author has their own style, their own voice -- and that's the fun of reading their books.Beth K.

Thanks, Sherrinda!<br /><br />I'm reading "Making Waves" by Lorna Seilstad (in fact, the only reason I went to bed AT ALL last night is because my KIndle battery died at just past 1am :::roll::: ). It's really kept me thinking about lying of EVERY kind - even the "little ones" - that really aren't so little.Joanne Sherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03892365662470655717noreply@blogger.com
