About Linda:  I married Frank Rodante before I was out of college.  We live in Florida and have two grown sons, a daughter-in-law, and two wonderful grandchildren. 
 
At 26, I became a Christian; and, as anyone knows who has walked with the Lord for awhile, the road is not always easy.  It is, however, glorious and goes uphill!  Falling often and relying on his mercy has brought strength and joy to my life.

I came to know the Lord when I was 26 years old and feel blessed that I had time at home with a new baby.  When he slept, I spent time reading, and studying the Word of God. 
 
Finally, God allowed me to lead a prayer and women's group at my home church.  Later, I worked with Concerned Women for America and was involved "politically" for awhile.  Both my sons were in school at the time, and I worked as a center director for the Pregnancy Center of Pinellas County.  After 5 years, I went back to teaching at a Christian school. 
 
Today, I am working parttime as a financial aid assistant at Trinity College of Florida.  I am also writing.  I have written two books of a Christian romantic mystery/ suspense series.  Have sent the first one to editors that I met at a writer's conference.  GOD IS GOOD!                                            

My mother, Elaine Knadle, has been an example of faith to all of us.  Through her ministry in Israel and Indonesia, we have all seen God's mighty power at work.

 

            

              

Mother gave her life back to the Lord at age 51 after the death of my father. 

 

She began ministering in nursing homes and finally went to Israel for about three years, working with the Christian Embassy there.  She was taken to jail once for witnessing, but was released later that day! 

 

After she was invited by a pastor to come to Indonesia, she went to many of the islands to witness and help start churches--riding side-saddle on a motorcycle through the jungles and going from island to island in dug-out canoes!

 

God is able and able to use those that will give themselves to Him!
