Xulon Press presents a creative biblical teaching to help provide spiritual growth for anyone aged twelve to twenty-seven through appreciating God's Word through images.
DALLAS, Dec. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Author Dr. Betty Anderson provides readers with a uniquely creative interpretation of spiritual growth in GROWING IN CHRIST: Images Of God's Message To Us($20.49, paperback, 9798868507199; $8.99, e-book, 9798868507205).
Dr. Anderson realizes that many people today want to learn more about God, but they express their lack of interest in reading the bible because they do not fully understand what the Scriptures are saying. That's why she penned this book in a way that is specially structured through the use of images for anyone ages twelve to twenty-seven. She believes that this age group has a greater hunger to learn more about life, themselves and Jesus. She also feels that for visual learners, images speak louder than words. Dr. Anderson further explains that images will allow readers of her book to use their imagination to create their own imagined conversation with God. The author hopes that her specially selected images will prayerfully instigate feelings, thoughts and emotions, while prompting readers to share the joy of their experience with others.
When asked what inspired the author to write this book, Dr. Anderson said, "I was inspired by God due to a most critical time in my life."
Dr. Betty Anderson grew up in Galveston, Texas where she started her first teaching job at the age of thirteen. In fact, she opened her school by bribing neighborhood kids to come and get a treat for learning. Dr. Anderson is a graduate of Huston-Tillotson University, North Texas State University, East Texas State University and Dallas Theological Seminary. She is a retired educator who taught school at all grade levels, but she has a special affection working with students ages twelve through twenty-seven because this group has a great desire to learn. She uses images and discussions to show and tell that God loves and cares for everyone. Dr. Anderson has served as Pastor, Christian Education Director at the local, district, conference and Episcopal levels. "Mama Bet" as she is called by her grandchildren and all of their friends, is still teaching family, church, friends and the neighborhood about the love of God and His desire for the lives of His followers. Dr. Anderson just gained the Diamond level of a duplicate bridge player when she finally answered God's call to "feed His sheep." There were many doubters, but she chose the call of God. She has never been happier.
