Christmas Matters
By Betsy Iler, Editor of Lake Magazine. December 4, 2020 (A Story From Lake Magazine)
Last year at this time, Lake Martin’s Katy Shelton called her childhood friend Anna Nash with a book idea for the two of them to write.
“I was reading one of the parables in Luke’s Gospel, and I didn’t know what it meant. So I called my wise friend, Anna, and said, ‘Hey, do you want to write a book about these parables and bring them down to our level?” Shelton explained.
The two grew up together in Birmingham. They attended Briarwood Christian School and went to church together. They roomed together at Auburn and kept in touch through Christmas cards after they both married and moved away. But they reconnected at a college reunion and began to collaborate through Beacon People, a non-profit that connects people with opportunities to make an impact.
