Virginia Fugate is the wife of J. Richard Fugate, author of the best-selling book, What the Bible Says About Child Training. They have been married for 34 years and have three grown children. Each of these children have given great joy and blessing to their parents, including one grandson apiece.
Virginia began to make notes on biblical womanhood about 15 years ago. In 1978, she was asked by her pastor to teach a class to the women of the church.
Over the years, Virginia's notes increased as she began to comprehend that God's Word had all the answers to women's questions about womanhood. She felt a strong leading from God to write a book about biblical womanhood, but was hesitant because she understood her responsibility before God for such an undertaking.
Finally, after much prayer, Virginia began to write--a task she compares with perpetual childbirth. Three years later, with much encouragement from her husband and help from several talented friends, On The Other Side of the Garden was completed.
Virginia's prayer is that this presentation of biblical womanhood will honor her Lord Jesus Christ. She also prays that many families are blessed as more and more women develop the courage to live biblically in this modern world.
