Meet Dana Rongione, the Christian author who's on a mission to turn worriers into warriors one encouraging word at a time.

With her trusty terrier, Tess, and her husband, Jason, by her side, Dana has traded the sunny streets of Greenville, SC, for the enchanting landscapes of Wales, where they dedicate themselves to chapel ministries.

When Dana's not busy teaching her beloved Bible study group or working on her latest book, you'll likely find her reading in a cozy nook while sipping on a steaming cup of chamomile, lemon balm, or yerba mate tea. Her love for chocolate knows no bounds, and her quirky sense of humor is always close at hand, ready to add a touch of whimsy to life's moments.

But there's a deeper side to Dana. She's no stranger to the challenges of anxiety, depression, and chronic illness, and it's this very journey that fuels her passion for helping others find strength in the midst of life's storms.

Join Dana on her quest to enjoy God more fully. Explore her collection of Christian books, including the cherished "Giggles and Grace" devotional series for women, and dive into a world where faith, humor, and a cup of tea can work wonders.

    I admit I liked the title because of "Delaware Detectives...". I'm from that tri-state area so that caught my eye right away. On the inside is a wonderful Christian - themed story for the middle schoolers, where the main characters, Abby and Jamie, have to find hidden treasures before time runs out. Great reading.

    What are Abby and Jaime up to now! Loads more fun and close calls!
    My family simply love this series of books! This one is a great continuation of the story. The ciphers make it especially fun, and as always you'll learn a little history along the way! What else would you expect from a teacher turned writer!
    If you haven't read the other books, that's OK too. Just jump into this one. You can catch up quickly with the characters and their new adventure.
