CAROLE' STORY
Born cross-eyed and legally blind in her left eye, Carole was ridiculed in elementary school for her outward appearance. Her eye was straightened through surgery at age nine, but her heart was not. Carrying past hurts from childhood into her early adult years, Carole lacked the self-confidence and sense of purpose that only a personal relationship with Jesus Christ can bring. During her senior year of college, Carole opened her heart to the truth of God's Word, surrendered to His will, and received her esteem as an heir in Christ. Today, using her gifts of speaking, writing, and music, Carole beautifully expresses the new life she has found in Jesus Christ, greatly encouraging the hearts of others.

(Essence Publishing), Kisses of Sunshine for Teachers (Zondervan), and Conversations on Purpose for Women (Zondervan). She is also the author of Cookin' Up a Song
(JW Brewer Music), a very popular and inspiring self-help manual for singers.
