about this book: I wrote this book because, as a Christ-follower, I was tired of claiming God's truths and promises, but not living them. A few years ago, I was miserable. Every night I hoped I wouldn't wake the next morning. Life was just not what I had hoped. Either I was going to figure this faith thing out, or I was going to die trying. While writing this book, and through seeking a cooperative and reciprocal relationship with God, I emerged with more than hope; I emerged with his love. Writing this book was a saving grace, and I'm hoping those who read it will find God's grace too.

The basis for my book is from the Bible verse, Galatians 5:22-23. "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law!" The Good Apple explains our role in discovering God's love fruit and offers practical ways to grow joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control into a beautiful life of love.

I'm a wife of 1, mom of 3 (two in-law kids), and grandmother of six. We also have a 6-pound Shih-Tzu/Poodle named Maddy. Our home is in Holt, Michigan. I'm in love with God's creation and enjoy every opportunity to witness it. Sometimes I take my camera along and consider myself an above-average photographer. Being chauffeured by my husband while exploring the US is one of my favorite pastimes. Lucky for me, he likes to drive, and I like to ride. Life is good.
