The book is another collaboration between my childhood friend, Shirley Crowder and myself.
Shirley has a
passion for disciple-making and loves to share about her spiritual children who
are scattered across the world serving the Lord. She is a never-married single
woman and a Biblical counselor; a regular guest on "Think on These
Things," a Birmingham AL radio/TV program for women; and a
freelance writer. Shirley is certified by, and serves on the national Advisory
Committee for The Addiction Connection. She co-authored the chapter, "Paul
and Women in Ministry" in the book “Paul the Counselor” published by Focus
Publishing and has several articles which have appeared in “The Gadsden Times”
Religion Section's Paper Pulpit. Follow her blog at: Through the Lens of Scripture.
And the book is illustrated by my daughter, Kristin Michael.
Kristin is a freelance
artist whose preferred medium is oil painting. Her style is contemporary
expressionist with a focus on light and water. She obtained her liberal arts
degree at Bellarmine University in Louisville, Ky with a double minor in fine
arts and literature.
Kristin continued her education at St. Catherine College in Bardstown, KY where she earned an associate degree in Cardiac Sonography.
She is now employed full-time by Ky Children's Hospital as a pediatric and adult congenital cardiac sonographer (she performs ultrasounds on children and adults with congenital heart disease).
Kristin works hard in her healthcare and artistic endeavors as a single mother in order to take care of her sweet young son who is the light of her life. You can find more of Kristin's artwork at Kiki paintings
