“Before I can talk about my book, Better Than Yesterday, I have to talk about the amazing, creative and diligent publisher, Kimberly Stewart. Her patience, wisdom and kindness helps an author to get through the process. When I became anxious about the book God assigned me to write, she was my calm. Thank you for bringing the dream that I had in my head and my heart to life. The book that I received was just absolutely professional. The work of Christian Living Books is powerful. Thank you so much for your creative mindset and your ability to make a dream come to fruition, magically.” -Lady Vicki Kemp
