Francine Rivers

I had been raised in the church, but I wasn't a Christian. I had a lot of head knowledge but no heart knowledge.

My favorite book is 'Redeeming Love.' It was my first as a born-again Christian, my statement of faith, and the most exciting year I've spent writing anything.

Like everyone else, there are days when I don't want to go to work. However, writing is a job like anything else.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

Composers, like authors, have a lot in common. Our main goal is to connect with the listener emotionally.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.
