She is such an intelligent orator; articulate, sensitive to the Holy Spirit, thoughtful and hilariously funny. I love her to bits and would encourage you to hear and see her if at all possible. She visited us in South Africa at our annual Beauty for Ashes conference and I really hope I will get the opportunity to see her again someday.Marilyn Whitcombnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-42360951630592957472011-10-11T12:57:32.509-04:002011-10-11T12:57:32.509-04:00Lori, so sorry Blogger is giving you and others fi...Lori, so sorry Blogger is giving you and others fits!

Couldn't wait to read "Fair is the Rose" then "Thorn in My Heart" and had to wait for "Grace in Thine Eyes" to come out. Did the snoopy dance when it did. I LOVED these books and have them in my library. BTW The cover of Whence Came a Prince is why I bought the first book. My daughter read this series and is hooked now, too.

I have always found her to be candidly open and willing to share her trials and how she dealt with them. She has been an encouragement to me! I would love a copy of her book Thorn In My Heart and work up from there. I thank you Carrie and Liz for a good interview and for sharing and thank you for the opportunity to win a copy of one of Liz's books. <br /><br />Blessings,<br />Lori <br />triplel(at)evertek(dot)netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-37834856316967733502011-10-11T10:11:58.766-04:002011-10-11T10:11:58.766-04:00Pamela J, you don't want to miss Liz's boo...Pamela J, you don't want to miss Liz's books!Carrie Fancett Pagelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096954464239963966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-3442233818084826342011-10-11T10:10:59.074-04:002011-10-11T10:10:59.074-04:00Hi Karen!
