Jesus Makes the Difference: A Collection of Stories for Young People

De: Lauren L. Merryfield

Narrado por: Brigid Kelly

Perfect for young people ages 14-18.

The story takes place in a home for the blind, where young blind children not only learn how to live their lives without site but also learn the importance of Jesus in their lives.

Author Lauren Lynn Merryfield was born totally blind due to glaucoma. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a degree in integrated studies from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. Some years later, she received her master’s in social work from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. She held several jobs through the years: elevator operator at the State Capitol; reservation agent at Marriott World-Wide reservation center, earning a Rookie of the Year award; and Travis Air Force Base as a phone operator.

From her first marriage, she had a daughter named Lynden. Lauren remarried, but her husband passed on after 10 years. She recently retired, and this is her third book. Lauren has written for the publications of the National Federation of the Blind. She has had pieces appear in several anthologies and is a member of the Cat Writers’ Association and the National Federation of the Blind.

Lauren’s relationship with Jesus suffered in a non-biblical, New-Age setting. Jesus was just a man but a great teacher. The Bible was just a good story to learn from. In March of 2014, Lauren was born again when Jesus rescued her from this non-biblical community. She is now a follower of Jesus.
