Living Our Faith Out Loud
"Let us hold unswervingly to our faith, for He who promised is faithful."
My joy and my priviledge is writing for you. My hope is that the stories will inspire both of us to seek an intimate, every-day kind of relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
He is unchangeable, unshakeable. I am only forgiven - sometimes minute by minute! But joy comes with knowing and living for Him.

Lisa Lickel
I live and write in beautiful Wisconsin. My journey to and along a professional writing career began with the Christian Writer's Guild apprentice course. When my classmate, Laurel Salton Clark, was killed in the space shuttle accident, I wrote about her for my local newspaper. That led to a regular assignment reporting on my community. I continue to write freelance articles and work on a favorite medium--radio theater (see favorite links page), write novels and short stories. I am grateful for the wonderful people I've met, for my agent, writing critique partners, and special readers who all teach me something not only about what makes a story come alive, but share their passion for creating a good tale.
My husband and I have two grown boys.

In the 1850s, pioneers moved to the wilds of Wisconsin.
They came from Belgium and France and from the different kingdoms of present-day Germany. They emigrated from Ireland with their stories and their customs. They came west from New York and Pennsylvania. They met the Potawatomi, the people who had lived here for hundreds of years. The people all had to learn to survive - together. Learn about pioneer life from a child's perspective. After all, life hasn't changed that much.
