AMY WALLACE
Who is Amy Wallace? I’m married to a God-honoring hunk, a home school
mom of three awesome kiddos, a writer, Bible study teacher, and
chocoholic. Some of my favorite moments are the ones I spend laughing,
reading, and being goofy with my family. I love writing stories, teaching
teenagers, scrap-booking, playing basketball, and taking walks with my
family. The beach is my all-time favorite place to be, and I collect teddy
bears, tons of books, and dust on my furniture. But getting to the heart of
who I am can be summed up in a few short words: I’m a daughter of the
King learning to live and love with laughter.
I’m the author of Ransomed Dreams, book 1 in the Defenders of Hope
series, a contributing author of God Answers Mom's Prayers, God Allows U-
Turns for Teens, Chicken Soup for the Soul Healthy Living Series: Diabetes,
and A Cup of Comfort for Expectant Moms.
I’d be honored if you stopped by for a visit at my Heart Chocolate website
http://www.amywallace.com/ or the Defenders of Hope site. It’s my prayer
that you’ll find encouragement and lots of useful information. You can
also read the first chapter of Ransomed Dreams http://www.

//www.defendersofhope.com/newsletter.html an every other month
newsletter that includes a taste of heart chocolate, tips for keeping kids
safe, kid-friendly recipes, and the inside scoop on the writing life. Another
place I like to hang out on the web is my Peek-a-boo ICU blog http://peek-a-
booicu.blogspot.com/ ~ a place to be real and talk about what’s on your
heart.

Brief testimony:
I wasn’t raised in a Christian home and started early down a dangerous
path. I was an alcoholic at age 13 and a total type A personality on a crash
course toward destruction. When my military family moved back home to
Louisville, KY, I made a friend in my sophomore German class who invited
me to church. I ran for cover. What little I knew of God conjured pictures
of thunderbolts and scowls. But try as I might to avoid church, I eventually
slipped through the doors of a Baptist church and heard for the first time
that God wanted a relationship with me and that the cross was proof
positive He was serious about sin as well as able to cleanse and heal me
and make me a beloved part of His family. I think I wore out the entire
church staff and youth group with my endless questions. I didn't receive
many answers that satisfied, but when I realized the depth of my sinful
aching heart and that God still asked me to come, I stepped into the most
amazing love affair ever. I was 15 then, and while there have been plenty
of times I've said "this is NOT what I signed up for" I've come to see there
is no better place to be than in the arms of my Savior experiencing the
love of my heavenly Daddy.
