In addition to The Christian Traveler Guidebooks, Amy writes for Lifeway Online and a number of print publications. Amy has lived her whole life in West Michigan near the shores of the beautiful Great Lakes, but she stays there as little as possible, having been bitten by a serious travel bug at an early age. It was in high school that Amy first had an opportunity to travel abroad, and she knew instinctively that her life would never be the same. After graduating from college with a bachelor's degree in German Language and Literature, she worked in sales and marketing until launching a career as a freelance writer, specializing in the themes of religion and travel. Amy believes that travel is an important means of enriching a Christian's spiritual life.
Relationships deepen when people share time and discoveries with one another.
Volunteer work groups change entire villages by showing Christ's love in action. Encounters with God in nature remind us of his majesty. And opportunities to meet distant brothers and sisters remind us of our connection to those we've never seen, who speak in tongues we might not understand, but who share the same Father.
