Maria was the oldest of ten children, six brothers and three sisters. She was a woman of great faith, grace, courage, and a determination that showed up when she set her mind to something, like obtaining a bachelor's degree from seminary school at the age of 54, writing more than twenty-five books, and traveling around the world to evangelize and donate her books to public libraries. Her goal was to spread God's word and help others fulfill God's plan for their lives. Evangelism was her passion and the beat of her heart.
