Bette Dowdell writes and speaks about two things: Understanding Christianity and living life at its best.

By explaining the nuts and bolts of a Christian faith, Bette Dowdell shows the positive, encouraging and logical reasons for a relationship with God. Or at least a way to understand your Christian friends and neighbors.

By describing the positive characteristics involved in taking on life and making it excellent, Bette helps us see the best in us and to understand that we have what it takes.

Bette grew up a child of The Salvation Army, where both her parents were clergy. Most people know about the amazing work The Salvation Army does to help people in need; few people know just how wide and deep their impact for good reaches. Even fewer people know that the Army’s zeal for helping comes out of their evangelical Christian faith. They are a church with a huge heart.

Bette’s once-in-a-lifetime parents set the example of how to help people with encouragement. She walks in their footsteps with pride.

After college, Bette became an IBM Systems Engineer, a small company computer consultant and the owner of a software company. All the while, she also taught people of all ages about God. And she raised her two children to be fabulous adults. (While a lot of that was their own doing, Bette’s happy to bask in the credit of a job well done.)
