\n\tCongratulations to Barbara Britton on Heavenly Lights: Noah's Journey\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n\t\t\t\tWhat would you say is your interesting writing quirk?<\/strong><\/span>
\n\t\t\t\tI am a terrible typist, so I script all my stories by hand. I have notebooks full of my scribble. I type the story into the computer chapter by chapter after I'm done with a scenes. My brain works faster than my typing fingers.<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\t\t\t\tHow did you come up with your title?<\/strong><\/span>
\n\t\t\t\tIn "Heavenly Lights" there are some scenes with stars. Noah sees a shooting star at night and follows it to meet a special woman. Jeremiah sees God's beautiful stars when he is in a coma. I found James 1:17 and it fit perfectly with my story. "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\t\t\t\tAre plots based on someone you know or events in your own life?<\/strong><\/span>
\n\t\t\t\t"Heavenly Lights" follows the daughters of Zelophehad through the first chapters of the book of Joshua. The five sisters are there when Jericho's wall falls and during Achan's sin and the subsequent battles for Ai. They are with the Israelites when they recommit to following God. The next and final book in the series–"Claiming Canaan: Milcah's Journey" has the girls getting their historic inheritance of land.<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\tWhat makes this a "must read" and why?<\/strong><\/span>
\n\t\t\t\t\tThe daughters of Zelophehad are historic girls. They secured land rights for women without the support of their parents or their clan. I had not heard of the daughters until a friend mentioned them at Bible study. I am so glad I discovered their story. I have had so much fun bringing their story to light. The book of Numbers can be exciting.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat is the spiritual takeaway for your reader?<\/strong><\/span>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGo forth with God even when God seems silent.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIs there anything edgy\/possibly controversial in your book? <\/strong><\/span>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNothing really. The Israelites battle for Ai and there is a battle.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat is your hero's main character flaw?<\/strong><\/span>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJeremiah believes he is less than other men because of his disabilities instead of seeing himself through God’s eyes.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat is your heroine's main character flaw?<\/strong><\/span>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNoah is headstrong and bold but sometimes life’s events need patience and waiting on God.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat can readers learn from your villain?<\/strong><\/span>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKeenan tries to take the desires of his heart by deceit instead of being a man of God and petitioning God for wisdom.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat makes your hero heroic?<\/strong><\/span>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJeremiah considers other's needs before his own. He is willing to risk his life to save his friends.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twhat makes your heroine heroic?<\/strong><\/span>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNoah takes her responsibility to provide for her sisters seriously. She works hard in the sun taking care of stubborn animals.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
