Haddad, Katheryn Maddox: - When the author was 17, she began writing her series of eight books called They Met Jesus. When she was 60, she completed it. It is now in child's form as A CHILD'S LIFE OF CHRIST. Her three different series of children's books are most popular among grandparents and homeschoolers. But they are popular with children around the world. Her many novels and information books are popular with the grownups. Katheryn Maddox Haddad grew up in the north and now lives in Arizona where she doesn't have to shovel sunshine. She basks in 100-degree weather with palm trees, cacti, and a computer with most of the letters worn off. Her newspaper column appeared for several years in newspapers in Texas and North Carolina-"Little Known Facts About the Bible." She spends half her day writing, and the other half teaching English over the internet worldwide using the Bible as textbook. Students she has converted to Christianity are in hiding all over the Middle East. "They are my heroes," she declares. Each morning she sends out an inspirational scripture thought to over 30,000 people worldwide. She is a member of Christian Writers of the West, American Christian Fiction Writers, and Historical Novel Society.
