Creating Meaningful Connections

When Annette Hubbell began her journey as an author, she knew it would be challenging. However, she had no idea at the time that the project would be a labor of love lasting 10 years. She began her work on A Spoonful of Grace, an original collection of 366 meal graces inspired by all 66 books of the Bible, after a lunch with a good friend. Her friend said grace before the meal, and Annette was struck by the fact that the mealtime prayer was so different than the one said in her own home. Annette decided to compile various mealtime prayers into a book. When she took her work to publishers, she was told that more was needed to make the book complete. She went back to the drawing board, earned a certificate in Apologetics from Biola University, and added short commentaries called Grace Notes on each Scripture. “If I had known early on what a formidable project this was going to be, I’m sure I never would have begun, but I’m so glad I did! Each day’s Scripture, Grace, and notes about the Scripture are designed to be read in less than two minutes. My aim was to capture attention quickly and help turn mealtimes into conversations about faith and values,” explained Annette, who is currently finishing another book tentatively entitled Eternity in the Rearview Mirror.
