Laurie Salisbury

Award-winning author, Laurie Salisbury, lives down a quiet country road in the tiny town of Ovid, Michigan. She lives with her husband Larry and a dog named Spock (a.k.a. Spockie). When Laurie was only sixteen, God called her to be a stay-at-home Mom. She is the mother of nine children, a Nana, and Nana-Great. Laurie loves to teach children about Jesus. Teaching children to love and serve the Lord is her passion. She was a Sunday School Teacher for more than thirty years and a Children’s Pastor for over ten years. She started teaching Sunday school at the age of sixteen. She continued to teach for over thirty years, teaching infants through sixth grade. During that time she moved from teacher to Children’s Church Director and Children’s Pastor. There are many ways to serve the Lord, and Laurie and her family have served as a Foster Family as well. They considered it a privilege to share the good news of Jesus Christ with twenty-eight foster children. Laurie is also an adoptive parent. She adopted three boys through the foster care system. Laurie also serves the Lord with her writing. She has written Church Dramas, Children’s Stories, Song lyrics, Children’s Church Curriculum, and Church Policy Manuals. She only writes Christian material. Her heart’s desire is to encourage other believers and to introduce anyone she can to her friend Jesus. Miscellaneous things about Laurie (in no particular order): She loves Opera, especially Luciano Pavarotti and Placido Domingo. She hates peas. She loves reading! She reads books, magazines, newspapers, and even cereal boxes, but mostly she reads her Bible. She has read it over and over! Her favorite book is now, and always will be, the Bible. So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” Acts 16:31 Come and let Jesus take the reins of your life. It is an amazing ride!
