Ruth Verkaik is a teacher turned writer and freelance editor. She’s been published in The Banner and is currently working on a contemporary novel. She blogs over at the Nerd Factory about the intersection of books and belief. When she’s not writing, doing laundry, or reading for the church library, Ruth and her engineer husband live in the tension of “everything is theological” as their three teens consider topics and their beliefs while discussing life around their dinner table.
