Janet L. Givens

In her candid, inspirational new nonfiction, "Mom…Can You Move My Legs? A Soldier’s Mom Recounts the Compelling Story of Her Son’s Injury in Iraq and Stresses the Importance of Knowing Christ in a Crisis" (published by WestBow Press), Janet L. Givens shares her personal story of coping with the trauma of war using faith in God and biblical guidance. Retired from a 33-year career in the steel industry, Janet currently resides with injured son, Brad, and her husband, Greg, in Crown Point, Indiana. She is actively involved in the Workman of the Word ministry, a Bible study group at her church, and spent 15 years spreading God’s word via an email ministry. Some recipients of her ministry now demonstrate their own faith through emailed prayers which are shared in the pages of Mom…Can You Move My Legs?, her first published book.
