“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men…You are serving the Lord Christ.“ Colossians 3:23-24 ESV
As Christians we don’t separate the sacred and the secular. We bring the sacred to the secular. We live in Christ and serve him with our entire life.
Author Pamela Ferguson serves by writing romance novels about people like you and me.
From Pam: “I write sweet, small town romances because I like exploring how character reveals itself in the day-to-day interactions that take place between people. There's a saying that goes, "Don't sweat the small stuff," and yet I believe the way people handle the "small stuff" reveals much about who they are--what they value, how they treat others, why they want what they want. Because of my background as a life-long Catholic, I have a Christian perspective that comes out in my characters, who struggle to do the right thing just as we all do. Their daily challenge to be the best person they can be, knowing they will fail and yet refusing to give up, is a fascinating dynamic for me to explore as a writer.”
I read two of Pam’s books.
