"Raising Lee Ann" (A Tale of Italy, Alzheimer's and Strong Foundations)


Listen Later

Living with Alzheimer’s. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a parent with Alzheimer’s living with you? How about as a young woman? Lee Ann shares her story of faith from a little Italian girl, who never knew her father. She was raised by her single mom who though she only had the opportunity to complete a 6th grade education gave Lee Ann the love and strong faith foundation she would need for life. Today Lee Ann is an adjunct professor at the South Florida Bible College and Theological Seminary and the author of many books, including The Brightest Minds in Children’s Spirituality. She has created many videos and children’s books to help parents in raising Christian kids. Her desire to give back is palpable, and in her story you will see what made her the joyful Christian woman she is today.

IThes. 5:16-18 “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
