(some remembrances)

From Contemporary Authors:

Grace Fox Anderson commented: "I attempt to share through my writing
and story collections the hope and help God offers each of us. The
bible is my meat and drink, the foundation of my life and the source
of my happiness, strength, and creativity. I'd have little to say if
it were not for what God has taught me. He has given me a great inner
joy in life itself: in animals, growing things, and people (especially
children). I taught Sunday school for more than twenty-five years,
loving the children and finding great satisfaction in teaching them
the bible.

"Sometimes I've felt that I would like two or three more lives to
experience, perhaps as a doctor (because I'm fascinated with medicine
and nutrition and have worked as a volunteer in the emergency room of
our local hospital), or as an architect (I have notebooks of house
plans that I drew as a child of about ten, and I still enjoy planning
houses), or as a teacher (because of my joy in passing on knowledge to
children). Actually, however, God gave me the best of all worlds when
he made me an editor. I deal with many subjects and can learn about
them and share them with others."
