About

Amanda Read, 20th BirthdayYou may simply call me a writer, the eldest of the 9 Read children – many of which you will find roaming about the blogosphere. A 20 year old Christian homeschool graduate, I have been Classically educated through the teaching principles of Charlotte Mason.  Perhaps that’s a fancy way of saying that I grew up in a home atmosphere filled with classic learning materials, but learning was my independent responsibility that my parents made certain they didn’t hinder with twaddle.  Such education makes a child a better truth seeker, that’s for sure.

I have been a military child ever since I can remember, toured the nation and the world, and upon my father’s retirement from the U.S. Army, my family and I have been shaping our new land into a homestead known as Fair Hills Farm.

In 2004, my mother discovered the fascinating history of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley and the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906. After years of researching and writing, I completed a full length historical drama screenplay titled The Crusading Chemist in March 2008 and recently completed a revision of it. I am now a college student majoring in History and minoring in Political Science at Jacksonville State University and in between studying, working on literary and art projects and living big family farm life I hope to maintain a quest for truthful research through Luke Historians and Not Just An Opinion.  My constant prayer is to glorify the LORD far beyond my finite imagination!

Be Forewarned…

Amanda Read

...This weblog is not your average read. The origins of Sincerely Amanda are recounted here, and a bio of Amanda Read can be found here. As far as I'm concerned, let GOD be found true, though every man a liar. You're not afraid of a little controversial debate, are you? Oh come now, comrades, fellow heirs to the Kingdom. We've got all eternity ahead of us to dwell in peace without the disruption of falsehood. Let's get in a good skirmish with it while we have the chance!
