Welcome to Jo-Anne Berthelsen's website!Welcome to Jo-AnneBerthelsen.com! As a Christian fiction author, it is my hope and prayer that my novels will encourage and impact you, and in particular, that they will draw you closer to God, inspiring you to stand firm in your faith, whatever is happening around you.
I am sometimes asked why I have chosen to write fiction, rather than more ‘serious' books. All I can say is that I'm in good company - even Jesus chose to convey very serious messages in story form. Further, my first three novels were actually inspired by real people I have known who impressed me greatly through the faith and courage they displayed in very difficult circumstances. I have tried my best to do justice to their legacy, as I have developed my own characters and shaped their stories, and also to listen carefully to God, in an attempt to discern how and what I should write. I hope I have been faithful to that still, small voice. I hope you enjoy the result, as well as accept any challenge that may be relevant for you. Please take the time to explore my website further. If you have any questions or comments, I'd love to hear from you. Or if you would like to hear me in person, I am available for speaking engagements and workshops.
