    As a growing teenager girl. I must confess that your books Francine gave me more resolute to live the a clean life. Not ony own strength. Hadassah from Mark of the Lion series was the influence. My first introduction to Rivers, I had to read up about her then I found out she gave her life to Christ the year I was born.
    Then I met Kingsbury, another author whose stroies just keep you looking for more.
    I praise God for you both. Praise God for the talents. Thank you Francine and Karen for submitting to His will.

    It excites me to no end to see another faith based production company entering the film industry. So many CF authors have stories that should be movies without the propaganda being required by the Hollywood studios. 👏🏼

    Wow! I’m from South Africa and while working at a Christian book store in our little village, getting paid 31 dollars a month, I would read free books by these two ladies and that made my job worth it. I was studying how beautifully they told their stories and kept day dreaming that it could one day be me writing my own book and now I am!!!! After much suffering and abuse, Jesus Christ saved me and instructed me to write. Thank you ladies. You truly are an inspiration

    Karen your books helped me get through difficult times in my life. I can’t wait to see Someone like you. My mom wrote a children’s book and I’m working on a book with my photography and it’s going to be a devotional and prayer journal I’m working on getting more pictures. Your sister Susan saw my photography and she suggested it to me. I’m not great at writing I’m struggling with it. I was going to come to your seminar in Franklin but I got sick with my heart. My heart is so bad I was close to having a transplant so I have had to put it on hold. My dream is to get my photography in a book. She used one of my pictures with your butterfly poem it made my day more than you know.

      Thank you for sharing that with me. My Dad passed away in 2007 and there's not a day that goes by that I don't miss him ... may God be with you during this time. I'm so glad my stories have encouraged your heart. Your words meant so much to me.

    • @tammyblankenship6786

      My Dad passed away suddenly of a heart attack in 2006. I still miss him to this day as well. I pray that God gives you the peace that passes all understanding. John 14:27 really helped me after my Dad's death.

    Please, please, know that Mary Magdalena was a disciple of Jesus and a financial supporter of his ministry. She was delivered from seven demononic spirits who had possession of her. She was not a prostitute. And certainly not a romantic of Jesus.
    Thank you both for sharing your stories and your journey to faith and writing Christian fiction. I have been blessed by each of you and your stories. ❤
