Linda K. Thomas

Linda K. Thomas, her husband, and their youngsters lived in Colombia, South America, for three years working with Wycliffe Bible Translators. Her new memoir, Please, God, Don’t Make Me Go: A Foot-Dragger’s Memoir, captures both the joys and challenges of living in a remote locale targeted by Marxist guerrillas. Later, she and her husband, as empty-nesters, took an eight-year assignment in Africa. Her memoir, Grandma’s Letters from Africa, covers her first four years working as a missionary journalist. Linda’s work has appeared in newspapers, magazines, newsletters, and blog posts. In addition to speaking, she teaches the craft of writing memoir to community and church groups and through her blog, Spiritual Memoirs 101.
