Classical Christian educator, author, speaker. Till We Have Faces: A Reading Companion (2020); The Sycomore Fig Tree: Biblical Botany and Scriptural Truth (May 2026) I love to learn from others, so I read, I write, and I teach, all the bookish things that connect us. https://christinenorvell.substack.com/
