WHERE GOD FINDS YOU - Anita Higman - Ten Free Books

Today is a banner day for you, Readers. We have two interviews. Gail Sattler's interview is for a novel. Be sure to keep reading when you finish this post. Anita is the author of our nonfiction book today. She's another of my dear writing friends.

Welcome, Anita. What would you like for our readers to know about you personally? 
I love God. I love my family. And I love to write. In that order. But writing has never come easily to me. I’ve always had to work hard at it. And success has come slowly too. But I’m grateful to be able to share my work with readers.

Tell us about your family.
Both my kids have graduated from college and have married. My son, Scott, works in the oil business, and my daughter, Hillary, works as an assistant to a youth minister. My daughter is a wonderful writer, and we’re coauthoring a devotional book that will come out this year. Needless to say, I’m very proud of both my kids.

Have you written other nonfiction books? 
I’ve been writing for almost thirty years, and I have thirty-two books published. Some of those books through the years have been nonfiction, but now I write mostly novels with an occasional nonfiction release. But Where God Finds You was a special book to write. Each devotion is infused with Biblical fiction, and as far as I know there’s nothing on the market like it.

Do you have any other books in the works right now? Yes, I’m working on a novel as well as a devotional book. What kinds of hobbies and leisure activities do you enjoy? I love gardening, decorating, and poking around antique shops. Also, I’ve been collecting tea dishes for years. Sometimes I have my gal friends over for brunches, and I bring out all my finery.

Why did you write the featured book? 

That is a good question. At first I didn’t want to write it. I knew writing a devotional book with Biblical fiction would not be an easy task. Also, I’m not a Biblical scholar, so at first I was overwhelmed, knowing how much research it would take to write a book of this kind. In fact, I said no to the editor who’d asked me to take on this project. But then he asked me to pray about my decision. That weekend I did pray about it, and felt strongly that I was meant to write this book. I may not have a degree in theology, but I did want to be obedient to God. Writing this devotional book, Where God Finds You, turned out to be an amazing experience. I have never felt so close to God as I did when I was writing this book.

What do you want the reader to take away from the book? 
My hope is that people will enjoy discovering how relevant the Bible stories are to our lives today. I wanted to bring the characters to life and show that these ancient people were very much like us with similar hurts and tragedies, hopes and transgressions, joys and triumphs. Even though the culture was dramatically different, our hearts are the same. Those famous Bible folk needed God back then just as we need him in our daily lives right now.
