About

I’m an author that loves history and the Lord Jesus Christ,my Saviour. Not too unusual for a Christian writer. However, what is unique isthat I grew up on a farm near Arrowwood, Alberta, Canada and now live inCalifornia with my husband and three kids—not in New York, LosAngeles, San Francisco, or any other major North American city.

My own history as a Christian began as a child attendingVacation Bible School at the Arrowwood Gospel Mission. One of the take homepapers asked when the reader was saved. I couldn’t give an answer. I knew thatI believed in Jesus, but I didn’t know for sure if I was going to Heaven when Idie. The next day I couldn’t wait until VBS was over so I could talk with theteacher, Linda Brown, about how to be saved. After repenting and calling on thename of the Lord Jesus Christ for my salvation, I became a new creature and begana new journey through life.

Today I attend Calvary Baptist Church in American Canyon, CAwhere I fellowship with some of the most wonderful people I’ve ever known.

Because of my love for the Lord, I try my best to glorifyHim in my writing. I desire, through my work, to show Christ to those who donot know Him as their personal Saviour and to encourage and exhort those whodo.

Though I loved writing short stories as a child and throughmy youth, writing didn’t take a prominent place in my life until many yearslater when I started writing about horses and horse husbandry for magazines andbooks. That became the catalyst for me to seriously consider writing fiction .. . but not just any fiction—fiction that would present Biblicaltruths through story. This led to me publishing Best of Faith, Fiction, Fun, and Fanciful,and writing more novels, including Joab’sFire which will be released in June 2011.

I blog at Faith, Fiction, Fun, andFanciful about writing and my faith. I also share some short stories on theblog for FictionFriday. As a further ministry, I do AutographTea Parties for ladies groups where I read something I have written andgive my salvation testimony.

You can also follow me on Twitter and visit my website: http://www.lynnsquire.com/.

I hope you join me here and on Faith, Fiction, Fun, andFanciful to explore this journey of life.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Description

After centuries of religiously motivated war, the world has been split in two. Now the Blessed Lands are ruled by pure faith, while in the Republic, reason is the guiding light—two different realms, kept apart and at peace by a treaty and an ocean. Children of the Republic, Helena and Jason were inseparable in their youth, until fate sent them down different paths. Grief and duty sidetracked Helena’s plans, and Jason came to detest the hollowness of his ambitions. These two damaged souls are reunited when a tiny boat from the Blessed Lands crashes onto the rocks near Helena’s home after an impossible journey across the forbidden ocean. On board is a single passenger, a nine-year-old girl named Kailani, who calls herself “the Daughter of the Sea and the Sky.” A new and perilous purpose binds Jason and Helena together again, as they vow to protect the lost innocent from the wrath of the authorities, no matter the risk to their future and freedom. But is the mysterious child simply a troubled little girl longing to return home? Or is she a powerful prophet sent to unravel the fabric of a godless Republic, as the outlaw leader of an illegal religious sect would have them believe? Whatever the answer, it will change them all forever… and perhaps their world as well.

In Joab’s Fire, Lynn Squire tells the story of Job in a new setting—one that allowed me to relate to the story’s timeless themes in new ways. The accompanying discussion questions place the story firmly in context with the whole counsel of Scripture. Joab’s Fire eloquently displays the eternal truth that God’s light shines most brightly in darkness. Lynn Dean, author of Discover Texas, a history curriculum for Christian schools. Joab’s Fire illustrates how God uses setbacks and tragedies to work in our lives. In the study, Lynn uses scripture to allow God’s healing truth to seep into the hearts and minds of her reader, drawing them closer to the One who leads us not only to the top of the mountain, but through the valleys as well. Fay Lamb, author of Tatted Angels, Staff writer for Wings of Hope Magazine, and freelance editor. Like Job in the Old Testament, we wonder how such a good man as Joab Black could suffer so much. Then, through the darkness, we see God’s abiding grace. Lynn’s writing beautifully portrays how our Heavenly Father raises His children from the ashes. Linda Strawn, author of Singing Winds. A compelling saga of faith in the midst of tragedy that will capture your heart and stir up new compassion for those who are suffering around you. I highly recommend this book! Lisa Jost, singer/songwriter/mother with The Josties, <a href="http://www.josties.com/">www.josties.com</a>. Lynn is a master storyteller who weaves her love of Jesus Christ and the truth of His scripture throughout all her writing. Joab’s Fire will ignite a flame of hope and faith within you as you journey with Joab, his wife, and friends through countless tragedies and unimaginable heartache. This book and accompanying Bible study will challenge and encourage you to seek God in the midst of every storm. Debra Shirley, speaker, author, and Ladies Sunday School Teacher at Tannehill Baptist Church. Joab's Fire will stir your heart and soul as the NWMP officer seeks to find God's will for his life without realizing that is what he is seeking. Lynn Squire is one of the finest writers I've ever come in contact with. Her writing mirror's her life as she writes for the Christian readers, unafraid to show her love and trust in the God she serves. K Sue Morgan, multi-published western historical romance author.
