Growing in God's Direction: 153 Inspired Words (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780981927619)

Ruth (Olnowich) Tschudin has felt God's touch in her life from early on; she was even prayed for "in utero." Her faith was kept active and growing over the years by spirit-enriching influencers such as family, friends, church, Billy Graham, Young Life, Norman Vincent Peale, and the Network of Biblical Storytellers. Now it's her turn to encourage others to discover and build upon the joy that only a vibrant ever-growing relationship with the Lord can provide. This book is one of many steps in doing that. Ruth has also written a highly-regarded educational book for teachers (published in 1980 by Parker, a subsidiary of Prentice-Hall), a booklet entitled "Following Jesus Today and Every Day: 52 Ways to Walk in His Footsteps" (2006) and an inspirational book written in her dog Jessie's voice ("Bark Up the Right Tree, Lessons from a Rescued Dog" on Amazon.com) which promotes adoption of children and animals while offering practical, heart-warming tips for everyday living. In 1999 Ruth started Open Doors, an Amazing Grace Foundation(www.opendoorsagf.org) to honor her mother Grace and to help people and animals in need. "Every step in the right direction is its own reward," says Ruth, who strives to live each day to the fullest--with God's help, of course.
