“Laurie Christine visited our school to promote her book, Rise of the Enemy. She was well prepared and had hands-on activities to teach our students about the Armor of God. She was organized, used Bible verses in her presentation, and got on the student’s level. She was friendly, engaging and knowledgeable. She gifted all of our students with a bookmark and pen, which the students loved. Laurie Christine was flexible to accommodate our schedule and prompt at responding to all correspondence. Thank you Laurie!”
Librarian, Lancaster County Christian School
