I’m breaking my long, unintentional silence to let you know something very exciting–for me at least! 😉 My longtime labour of love, Legacy of Faith, is finally going to see the light of day.
Legacy has won the Word Alive Press annual publishing contest. Apparently the judges “fell in love” with the manuscript, and I hope you will, too.
Legacy of Faith tells the story of three generations of my own family who were involved in ministry and faced, and overcame, incredible hardships. John Mackilligen is a Covenanter–an illegal Presbyterian minister in 1600s Scotland. William McKillican is a minister too, and when his entire congregation emigrates from Scotland to the backwoods of Canada in the early 1800s, he follows them there. And Jennie McKillican, a spinster nurse, travels to China as a missionary. All three face challenges that shake their faith and inspire generations to come.
Here are some excerpts I shared while I was writing Legacy that you might enjoy.
Keep an eye open for the release date. I’ll be sharing news here.
