Ruth Willms helps Christian parents teach biblical principles to today's youth, through her short stories, novels, articles, and blog posts.

Ruth Willms has always loved to read and make up stories.

As a child and teenager, Ruth entertained her sisters with stories at nighttime, when they were supposed to be sleeping. Her favorite story to tell was of her being adopted and then finding out that she was really a princess.

For a few years she wrote short stories for children's magazines. Then her dreams of being an author were put on hold while she helped her husband Ed run a construction company.

Her love for children eventually led her to return to college where she enrolled in Early Childhood Education and began teaching Preschool. While teaching Preschool and later operating a dayhome, she revived her role of a story teller.

As her grandchildren, Darian and Cassidy, began elementary school, Ruth was challenged to create more intriguing, on-going stories. The bedtime stories began to revolve around her imaginary Lion Tree. Eventually, these stories became the basis of her book, The Lion Tree.

The Lion Tree, released in 2007, is a Christian children's fantasy story. Her second book, A Christmas Present for Goliath was published in 2008, and is an imaginative retelling of the true Christmas story.

Ruth lives in Calgary, Alberta with her husband Ed.
