Desta Garrett: Founding Managing Editor Emeritus

For ten years, Desta channeled her penchant for perfection by working in law offices and volunteering to produce church bulletins. Then the Lord put her in touch with Verna M. Hall and Rosalie J. Slater, co-founders of the Foundation for American Christian Education in San Francisco. She began as a phone volunteer counseling homeschooling parents and soon graduated to digitizing microfiche of early American documents in period English, along with Greek and Hebrew words. For eighteen years she worked and learned in “The Ladies’” incredible personal library, assisting in research, technical editing and producing all of their publications from draft to printed books.

When the Foundation relocated to Chesapeake, Virginia, in 2005, Desta became a private contractor, continuing to assist with the Foundation’s publications, as well as publishing her husband’s music. For ten years Desta worked with with Nordskog Publishing, helping produce Bible-based books that spread God’s Word and glorify Him – for the sake of the Gospel and for our Nation.
