TRD Publishing Presents Author Beje Schweitzer

---

She is an author, poet, and folksinger. 

Born and raised in Michigan, Beje Schweitzer has always considered herself a survivor – and then a thriver! Growing up with 4 brothers, she was surrounded by music, the arts, sports, and the great outdoors. A proud graduate of Albion College (3rd generation), she holds a BA in Music, Speech/Drama, with a minor in Education and Physical Education. 

As an adult, Beje has lived in 10 states and has held or owned a wide variety of jobs and businesses. While raising 4 children, she also worked in several fields. Although Beje works part-time, she has generously volunteered for two major sports teams, 4 theatre groups, and has written nearly 100 puppet scripts for children’s church, along with Christian plays and musicals. She always finds time to sing, write poetry, and engage in Bible study, as well as enjoy her grandchildren. 

Being dyslexic, she believes, is not all bad. Joking that she has no left-brain, she feels her right-brain is overflowing, which fuels her passion for creativity. The poetry and music she creates are gifts from God, and her hope is that you will find them enjoyable, encouraging, and inspiring. 

Writing poetry has been a passion of hers since she was very young. In fact, her inspiration, which she describes as God-given, often surfaced during times when she faced difficult decisions. This aligns with her belief in the "Miracles, Prayers & Guardian Angels" that guide her. 

Beje lives by the motto: If you look for the good, you will find it – God is in control! If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours! Her recent work, "One Year Poetic Devotional," is a reflection of her journey and insights, inspired by the wisdom of Tami Rene' Demers.

In this book, "One Year Poetic Devotional," you will see how God grabbed my attention as a child and how He has worked in my life and in each of my 4 children’s lives. Once we have been “Born-Again” and made Jesus the Lord of our life, we can reflect on the many times He has come to our rescue through answered prayers, provided us with miracles, or sent guardian angels to protect us in our times of need.
