We invite you to meet Christal Kahles-Jones, a truly inspiring figure in our creative garden. Born with a pen in her hand in Cincinnati, Ohio, Christal discovered her love for storytelling early on, choosing to weave tales rather than join the neighborhood games. As a beacon of dreams, she penned her first 'real' book at just 12, setting the stage for a lifetime of transformative storytelling. At 11, Christal's talent was recognized as she received the VERSES Magazine's Featured Young Author Award, an achievement that opened doors and confirmed her calling. Fueled by faith, her words reflect a deep connection to her spiritual journey, serving as a harmonious ministry of hope, rooted in love and guided by Christ. 

Christal extends her rich tapestry of creativity into screenplays, short stories, and the cherished novel, 'In The Garden.' For her, stories transcend mere words; they are a vessel of encouragement and spiritual awakening. Here, in our garden of words, we celebrate Christal's profound impact and invite you to join us as we nurture growth and inspire new horizons.
