Karen<br />
Kingsbury<br />
The Women’s Ministry of Fannin Baptist Church<br />
created a flood of book readers’ excitement when they<br />
named Karen Kingsbury, the famous American Christian<br />
novelist, as the keynote speaker for their October<br />
weekend conference.<br />
The Fannin church’s grandiose exterior matches the<br />
interior with its spacious circular walkways and their<br />
tastefully designed and decorated stations. The large<br />
crowd of attendees for the conference needed the space<br />
for registration, book display area and meeting with<br />
new and old friends.<br />
A small segment of time was allowed for a private<br />
interview with the celebrated author before the evening’s<br />
program began. Mrs. Kingsbury’s Christ-like warmth,<br />
smile and greetings set the tone for an informative time<br />
of questions and answers.<br />
Her speaking skills match her writing talents. She didn’t<br />
have to pause or ponder answers to questions. Her amiable<br />
disposition shown through her constant smile, laughter,<br />
and transparent sharing.<br />
