My conversation with Franella Smith was both elegant and sincere. She exudes a calm presence and is an excellent cook! 😋 Franella earned her Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of New Haven, CT, and completed her graduate internship at Hampton University. With over 25 years of experience, she is a registered and licensed dietitian currently practicing full-time in South Carolina. In 2015, she also obtained her Master's in Fine Arts from Southern New Hampshire University, where her master’s thesis clinched first place in that year’s NewLook Writing contest. In her free time, Franella delights in cooking, reading, photography, traveling, and relaxing with her family, as well as enjoying the company of her miniature Schnauzer. She is also the author of "The God Hunter," a moving tale of faith that beautifully illustrates the idea that children are never truly alone, co-written with the critically acclaimed Annette Griffin.In this captivating novel, we follow Simi, a young boy from an African village grappling with life after the death of his father, a revered chief. Plagued by unanswered questions and yearning to regain his strength, Simi becomes intrigued by tales of God and begins to search for where He might be discovered.With a determined spirit, Simi embarks on an extraordinary adventure through the jungle, convinced that he must pursue God just as hunters seek their prey. As he navigates this wild terrain, he encounters fear, uncertainty, and danger, yet he also uncovers a hidden well of courage within himself. With each stride he takes, unlikely allies emerge, igniting a flicker of hope in his heart, and he starts to feel a gentle presence guiding him on his path.Throughout his journey, Simi discovers a profound truth: God isn't a being to be chased or captured—He has been by Simi's side all along, offering protection, guidance, and love, especially during life's most challenging moments.The God Hunter is a touching tale filled with themes of faith, bravery, and exploration. It guides children to understand that even in times of uncertainty, they are never truly alone—and sometimes, while we believe we are on a quest to find God, it is actually Him who discovers us first.You can grab your copy at:Amazon.com: The God Hunter (Finding God Series Book 1) eBook : Griffin, Annette , Smith, Franella, Hutchinson-Hayes, Katherine: Kindle Store To learn more about Franella Smith, visit Dressed In Love Press and her social media.If you would like to book Franella Smith, you can contact Mickey Mikkelson, PublicistCreative Edge -Co-Owner: Top Shelf MagazineCreative Edge Publicity [email protected] you for listening to and supporting the podcast.
