Daisy Beiler Townsend has been writing and publishing in magazines and periodicals such as Guideposts, The Upper Room and the Secret Place for almost forty years. In earlier years, she and her husband, Donn, wrote more than 100 songs and had a family music ministry and Christian Nursery School. Later, Daisy pursued certification as a pastoral counselor with the NCCA and ordination with the NCCC with whom she served for many years. Daisy and Donn were also missionaries to Japan with One Mission Society, with whom they are still affiliated, and led the Japan Prayer Initiative. Researching the history of their home in Sandy Lake, PA, in 1998 led to beginning a historical novel inspired by the lives of former residents of their home in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 2014, Daisy published her first book, Homespun Faith, an autobiographical devotional, and then completed the first book in the Sarah's Legacy series in 2017, the second in 2019. Daisy and Donn live in Pennsylvania and have three children and six grandchildren. Visit Daisy on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or www.homespunfaith.com.
