About the Author
Fay Rowe was born and raised on the east coast of Canada in a small Newfoundland town, Shearstown. As an adult, she lived in St. John's on several different occasions, as well as on the west coast in Victoria, British Columbia, and the not-so-far-east coast in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She also spent several years in the United States while her husband attended university in College Station, Texas. Now Fay is happy to have settled in London, Ontario, where she lives with her husband, Glenn, and their adopted barn cat, Casey.
Among Fay's greatest loves are Casey, Italian food at Bertoldi's, anything chocolate, the sound of the waves in Hawaii, and Glenn, Gillian, and Ryan ... although not necessarily in that order.
As a teacher of fourth graders and junior high students, and in settings such as Sunday morning church services, Wednesday night Bible studies, and various women's club and conference events, Fay has shared powerful insights with people of all ages. In her first book, What's In A Name, and the newly released Keepers of the Testimony, she communicates, with simplicity, candor, and a dash of humor, ageless truths that have empowered a great many lives.
In her books, Fay invites her readers to join her on a journey of discovery. She believes that a personal "chase for truth" is an exciting and worthy endeavor, and this quote from What's In A Name tells why:
"Not settling takes the courageous and committed heart of a truth chaser because although truth may reach the mind by casual hearing, it doesn't settle into the heart and become functional and fruitful without personal engagement."
Paraphrasing Ralph Waldo Emerson, the corn we grow ourselves nourishes best.
