Mesu Andrews: Sharing The Love Of God's Word Thru Storytelling

What would you do if you had a burning desire to do something and it wasn’t happening? Would you give up or would you keep trying? Life is full of regret when we give up on a dream and the definition of insanity is trying the same thing and expecting a different result. So maybe you persevere with a twist. Mesu Andrews loves the Word of God and wanted to write serious Bible Studies, but it wasn’t happening. That’s when she pivoted and began writing fiction. We talk about her personal journey and her latest book, Brave, in this cozy conversation.

MESU ANDREWS is a Christy Award-winning, best-selling author of biblical novels and devotional studies whose deep understanding of and love for God’s Word brings the Bible alive for readers. Her heritage as a “spiritual mutt” has given her a deep yearning to both understand and communicate biblical truths in powerful stories that touch the heart, challenge the mind, and transform lives. Mesu lives in Indiana with her husband Roy, where she stays connected with her readers through newsie emails, blog posts, and the social media we all love to hate.
