The Author: Laura Richie
Laura Richie is a wife, homeschooling mom to four, and a registered nurse. Formerly a missionary kid, Laura didn’t truly understand her need to be rescued until later in life. For years, she had tried very hard to be “good enough.” When she finally realized that Jesus came because she could never be good enough on her own, her striving ceased and her dancing began! Now she delights in sharing the beauty and grace of her Rescuer. Laura and her family reside in Oklahoma. After writing The Advent Storybook for her own children, Laura felt called to publish the book and share the story of God’s rescue with families across the world.
