I'm an author that loves history and the Lord Jesus Christ, my Saviour. Not too unusual for a Christian writer. However, I grew up on a farm near Arrowwood, Alberta, Canada?not in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, or any other major North American city as many other authors may have. I have a uniquely Western Canadian rural experience. I now live in California with my husband and three kids
My own history as a Christian began over thirty-five years ago in Vacation Bible School at the Arrowwood Gospel Mission. One of the take home papers asked when the reader was saved. I couldn't give an answer. I knew that I believed in Jesus, but I didn't know for sure if I was going to Heaven when I died. The next day I couldn't wait until VBS was over so I could talk with the teacher, Linda Brown, about how to be saved. After repenting and calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for my salvation, I became a new creature and began a new journey through life.
Today I attend Calvary Baptist Church in American Canyon, CA where I fellowship with some of the most wonderful people I've ever known.
Because of my love for the Lord, I try my best to glorify Him in my writing. I desire, through my work, to show Christ to those who do not know Him as their personal Saviour and to encourage and exhort those who do.
Though I loved writing short stories as a child and through my youth, writing didn't take a prominent place in my life until many years later when I started writing about horses and horse husbandry for magazines and books. That became the catalyst for me to seriously consider writing fiction . . . but not just any fiction?fiction that would present Biblical truths through story. This led to me publishing Best of Faith, Fiction, Fun, and Fanciful, and writing more novels, including Joab's Fire which will be released in June 2011.
I blog at Faith, Fiction, Fun, and Fanciful about my faith. I also share some short stories on the blog for Fiction Friday. As a further ministry, I do Autograph Tea Parties for ladies groups where I read something I have written and give my salvation testimony.
You can also follow me on Twitter and visit my website: www.lynnsquire.com.
I hope you join me to explore this journey of life.

Words produce effects on your tongue and in your mind. They reveal the nimbleness of your vocabulary and reflect your ingenious (or inept) writing style.
Before you learned to scrawl words on paper, you learned to speak, and you developed a patter...

Today, I sought a word from God to share with my SL family and friends, and came across this fabulous version of a timely word from Romans 8:34-39...I pray this blesses and encourages you as much as it did for me!
Romans 8:34-39 - The Message (MSG)
With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn't hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn't gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God's chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us?who was raised to life for us!?is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ's love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:
They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.
We're sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.
None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I'm absolutely convinced that nothing?nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable?absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.
