Book Signing With Author Christine Schaub Set For Friday, September 26, 2008
July 2008
The Church Library Ministry Conference leaders are proud to host Christine Schaub, author of Finding Anna and The Longing Season at a book signing on Friday, September 26, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. in the chapel at Webster Conference Center.
In the MUSIC OF THE HEART series from Bethany House/Baker Books, Christine Schaub tells the powerful stories of hope behind our greatest hymns--songs born out of tragedy that now comfort millions with their poignant lyrics and plaintive melodies.
Massively researched and lyrically written, these novels make the people and their eras come alive. “The thrill of historical fiction is that you can invent the everyday-ness of your characters’ lives. The facts must be present--must be historically accurate, but I can imagine on paper whole conversations, situations and emotions missing from those facts.”
The October 2005 debut, Finding Anna, chronicles the tragic life of H.G. Spafford and his family, which inspired the hymn “It Is Well With My Soul.” The Longing Season (July 2006) explores the two-year odyssey of John Newton and his iconic hymn “Amazing Grace.” The books are regional and international bestsellers, were translated into German and Dutch, and went hardcover for Crossings Book Club/Bookspan and large-print editions.
We hope you will help us welcome Christine to Kansas-Nebraska.
