River of Life

Sister Mary Julia Steinkamp, S. N. J. M. has been a Holy Names sister for sixty-eight years. She has taught in elementary schools for sixty-two years. She has also been a nurse's aid for six years.

Writing has been a life-long hobby. In high school she told her mother that ink flowed in her veins. She hopes that her eight published books and ninety-six magazine articles will bring people closer to God and each other. River of Life is the fruit of twelve years of prayer.

She is inspired by the words of the SNJM constitution (sec. 3), "We desire to proclaim by our lives the primacy of the love of God."
