First Baptist Church Hendersonville - SOLD OUT
Featured Presenter: Ronda Rich
Ronda Rich, best-selling author and syndicated columnist, first exploded on the national stage almost two decades ago with the wildly successful What Southern Women Know (That Every Woman Should), a book now in its 42nd printing. Based on its success, it became part of a well-received trilogy which included What Southern Women Know About Flirting and the beloved What Southern Women Know About Faith, a book which, upon reading it, Dolly Parton said, "This book speaks to my heart."
A novel, inspired by a true story of a book tour that led Ronda into Arkansas, The Town That Came A-Courtin, became a best-seller and a popular television movie. Her other books include: Let Me Tell You Something and Mark My Words: A Memoir of Mama.
A former award-winning sportswriter, Ronda returned to her newspaper roots in 2003 with a weekly column which appears in over fifty newspapers. Alternating between humorous, sentimental, and wise, she delivers a punch of Southern life weekly to over a million readers.
She lives with her husband, John Tinker, on a small farm, The Rondarosa, in rural North Georgia. Tink, as she calls her husband, is an Emmy award-winning television drama producer. He is currently the executive producer and showrunner of the hit Hallmark series, When Calls The Heart.
