Michelle McKinney Hammond
Author of In Search of the Proverbs 31 Man

Those who are familiar with Proverbs 31 tend to focus on the woman. How did you come up with the idea of writing about the “Proverbs 31″ man?

I was always curious about the man behind the woman. She exercised a lot of freedom, creativity and entrepreneurship.

Angela Thomas
Author of A Beautiful Offering, Beautiful, Do You Think I’m Beautiful

Where did the inspiration for your books originate?

The Beautiful series came out of a very broken season for me. I had gone through a divorce and I began asking God what He thought of me. In that process, I came to God very raw and very needy.
