Amanda Peterson

Amanda Peterson was born in Rochelle, Illinois and did most of her growing up in Moriarty, New Mexico. She was bitten by the writing bug early: writing for school newspapers, contests, and creating plenty of stories that never saw the light of day. As an adult, she has written Bible lessons for K-5th grades, newsletter articles, ladies' Bible studies, and devotional pieces. Her children's books focus on concepts that are difficult for children to visualize: things like faith and seeing God in the world around them. She is also branching out with a secular title about building character to be released in 2015.

Amanda's Bible studies are also finding their way to the market. In 2014, she published "Becoming a Proverbs 31 Woman: Learning to Lose the Intimidation." It's a study about the characteristics of the Proverbs 31 Woman and implementing them in ladies' lives today.

Amanda, her husband, and their three girls live near the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland with three adorable kittens and one cranky old cat.
