Valorie Stafford Lurry was born and raised in Louisiana, shaped by the quiet strength and deep roots of her delta land upbringing.

Writing a book was never part of her plan until God made it clear that her story was meant to be shared. Offering her testimony has become one of her greatest joys, a source of blessing for both her and those who hear it.

In her spare moments, Valorie gravitates toward creativity, often painting, decorating, or crafting something new. Among her many blessings, her husband, Brent, and their two children, Ava and Dierk, are at the top of the list.

The chapters of wife, mother, and proud survivor keep her days full, but it is sharing her story, with humility, courage, and unwavering faith, that keeps her grounded in the purpose God placed on her life.

When not talking about Jesus or dating his wife/girls, Mike loves playing soccer, running, and reading.“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).
