Kathi Macias is a popular Christian speaker and a prolific and multi-award winning writer.  When Kathi became a believer in 1974, she somehow knew she would one day write Christian books and share her love of words with others.  She now writes and speaks the vision God has given her, making it as clear as possible so that readers and listeners can carry the message to others (Habakkuk 2:2).
