ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Sara Burns is obeying God’s direction in writing God’s Stories: a simple guide to stories in the Bible. Previously a librarian, putting books on shelves, she never saw herself as writing books. Starting in 2017, with a thought of helping those brand new to God’s Word, she continued to think about it, but it wasn’t until 2019 that she began to put the thoughts on paper. This process took her through the grief of losing her husband in an accident in 2022. Writing and being in God’s word kept her close to the Lord, hearing His continued nudging to keep going when she really wasn’t sure how. She has two adult children, a son-in-law, and a granddaughter.
