Meet Virelle Kidder
A full time writer and conference speaker for over twenty-five years Virelle Kidder loves writing and speaking about the love of God. Driven by a passion to encourage women, she is funny, transparent, and solidly biblical.
Virelle once hosted her own daily radio talk show in New York’s capital district. She is the author of six books including her two newest releases, The Best Life Ain’t Easy, and Meet Me at the Well, both in 2008 with Moody Publishers. Virelle served for many years as a contributing writer for Today’s Christian Woman and enjoys being a mentor with the Jerry B. Jenkins Christian Writer’s Guild. She is widely published in national magazines such as Moody Magazine, Focus on the Family’s Pastor’s Family, Decision, Journey, HomeLife, Tapestry and others, as well as many collected works including Midday Connections new devotional book, Daily Seeds from Women Who Walk in Faith.
Virelle and her husband, Steve, have four grown children and eight grandchildren and live in Sebastian, Florida.
The Best Life Ain’t Easy is the often funny, sometimes sad story of the surprising, persistent, and patient love of God in one woman’s life. Gritty and transparent, Virelle becomes both best friend and mentor for the reader from childhood loss, to meeting Christ as a young mom, and following Him on the bumpy path to maturity. Jerry Jenkins said, “I couldn’t put it down. Don’t miss this one.”

There are no casual encounters with God. Every one is life changing. It should be no surprise that the Living Word knows how to speak today. I’m finally recognizing when God squeezes me with overwhelming odds, painful circumstances, or simply interrupts my plans, it’s a fair bet He has something to say. Many times in my life with my planner full I’ve saddled up my donkey like the prophet Balaam in Numbers 22, and headed on a determined path until the road began to narrow and my plans unravel. At times like these, I’ve found that donkeys still talk. And it’s a good idea to listen. Face-to-face encounters with God empower us at the deepest level of our existence, offer forgiveness of sin, the healing of wounds, and a quieted heart to learn His will in a very unquiet world.
Topics covered in this book: God uses frustrating circumstances and challenging people we can’t change or move not to harm us, but to get our attention. Whether health issues, a prodigal child, financial reversals, or a stubborn mate, it’s easy to be just as dumb as Balaam and kick them like he did his donkey, learning to hear God’s voice in such settings is life-changing if we will obey. For personal or group study, this biblically based book is rich in true stories from Scripture and everyday life. Readers who respond to God’s initiatives in their problems will find a deeper intimacy with Him than they ever thought possible.
