His Glory My Joy, a blog of Author Luana Ehrlich

I am a child of God, wife, mother and grandmother, student and teacher of God’s Word, and an author. I am outwardly gregarious, inwardly shy, and obsessively organized. I love reading thrillers and mysteries, watching Dallas Cowboys football, and being married to the world’s most incredible and surprising man for the past 57 years.

I am Luana Ehrlich, one of four children born to Allan and Mary Pollock.  I’ve lived in several states, including Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Texas, New Mexico, Kentucky, and Oklahoma, plus I’ve lived overseas in Costa Rica and Venezuela.  It’s sometimes difficult to answer that getting-to-know-you question of “Where are you from?”  The Lord has given me the ability to always feel at home no matter where He’s called me to live.

I went to high school in Joliet, Illinois, and married my husband, James, immediately after graduation.  At the time, he was pastoring a church in East Texas and attending East Texas Baptist University where I also enrolled.  Three years later, our only child, Karis, was born.  During the years that followed, I’ve enjoyed being a minister’s wife, sharing with my husband  the joys of several pastorates and  other ministries, while focusing on my own calling of raising a child, teaching adult Bible studies, and occasionally taking on writing assignments with Baptist Press. Now, I’m a full-time writer and the author of Titus Ray Thrillers, Mylas Grey Mysteries, and Silas McKay Suspense, plus a spinoff of my first series, the Ben Mitchell/Titus Ray Thriller Series. You can find out more about my novels at Titus Ray Thrillers, Mylas Grey Mysteries, and Silas McKay Suspense, and also on my personal website, LuanaEhrlich.com.

James and I have lived in Norman, Oklahoma, for the past 31 years. We moved to Norman when he became the lead pastor at Bethel Baptist Church, and when he retired after seventeen years, we felt led to stay here.

The title of my blog  “His Glory My Joy” is derived from what was a reoccurring theme in James’ preaching ministry. He often preached that we serve a Sovereign God who does everything for His glory and honor, and we find our joy and happiness in Him alone.
