Welcome back, Sherry.
What would you like for our readers to know about you personally?
When I was a child, I loved being creative. I would make up
silly songs, draw cartoon characters, and make school projects from scratch. I
also loved to read and use my imagination. In the fourth grade, I won an award
for my true-life story titled “Friends Can Be So Mean.” Even though I graduated
from Biola University with a Speech Pathology
degree, my love of books and being creative sparked something inside. I wanted
to be an author.
Tell us about your
family.
I met my husband the first week of college, and we’ve been
together ever since. Last week we celebrated our 30th wedding
anniversary. We have four children, two boys and two girls, between the ages of
18-25. Currently, they all live with us, but we know it won’t last long. We are
enjoying this stage of life with our young adults, but are looking forward to
having an empty nest and smaller grocery bills.
An empty nest is a
wonderful thing for parents, especially if their children and grandchildren
(and great grandchildren) all live within five miles of them. Have you written
other nonfiction books?
Yes, I have five other nonfiction books for middle graders in
print. My first nonfiction book for girls is titled The Christian Girl’s Guide to Style. I have two other books for
girls in that series, along with a middle grade fiction/devotional/journal titled
Love, Lexi: Letters to God. I also
wrote The Adventure Bible Book of Daring
Deeds and Epic Creations: 60 ultimate try-something-new, explore-the-world
activities for Zonderkidz, which released in April.
Do you have any other
books in the works right now?
I just completed a 365-day devotional for Zonderkidz for
their Adventure Bible line. Wow, now that was a big project! And currently I’m
writing the second book in the True Heart Girls Devotional series.
What kinds of hobbies
and leisure activities do you enjoy?
I live by the coast in California and love decorating my beach home
and looking at real estate. You can find me searching the Internet for the
latest house trends, chalk painting my furniture, and helping friends design
their rooms. I also wear a Fitbit and go for walks everyday while listening to
Audiobooks. It’s amazing how fast time flies when you’re listening to a good
book! J
Why did you write the
featured book?
I wrote True Heart Girls Devotional: God’s Promises
for Me! because I wanted girls to discover promises to help them deal
with the sometimes-overwhelming emotions that come with growing up. I also
wanted girls to have a lot of fun while reading this book. There are stories,
games, recipes, and crafts, and other interactive pages that will point girls
to God’s word and help them dig deeper into each promise.
What do you want the
reader to take away from the book?
I want girls to know that they can rely on God in any
circumstance and that there are promises in the Bible that will make a
difference in their lives.
Is there anything else
you’d like to tell my readers about you or your book?
Never give up on your dreams! That may sound cliché, but I’m
proof that persistence pays off. God’s
Promises for Me! is the first book I wrote for kids and my dream of seeing
it in print is finally coming true.
Please give us a peek
inside the book.

sounds like a useful book! Shelia from MS
"TRUE HEART GIRLS DEVOTIONAL: GOD'S PROMISES FOR ME! by Sherry Kyle sounds wonderful. Thank you for the opportunity to win.
True Heart Girls Devotional: God’s Promises for Me! sounds like a great book to use with my 11 year old daughter. Her name is Sherry too. She is also very creative and loves to draw. I home school her and I am always looking for nice devotional books for our Bible class. I am glad to learn about this one.
Blessings,

Thank you, everyone, for your encouraging words. I'm excited about my upcoming release, and can't wait for girls to experience God's love through this book. Blessings, Sherry
I would love to win your devotional for my 13-yr-old daughter to encourage her walk with the Lord.
Even though my granddaughter is young, I can see this book being so helpful in a few years. Melanie Backus, TX
I am always on the lookout for good reading material to share with my granddaughter and your True Heart Girls Devotional sounds like an excellent devotional.
Blessings!
