Elizabeth and John Sherrill in the French Alps in April
Car Trip Spring 2009

Though John and I enjoyed the escorted tours and sheer luxury of the boat trip up the Rhine, this second half of the trip is the way we like to travel best - point the car in the right general direction and follow the smallest roads we can find. The only fixed destination was Brussels, for our return flight, nothing on the schedule after Geneva and two weeks to roam and explore. Here we're in the French Alps where in April many of the roads were still closed by snow. Too cold to eat our lunch sitting on the ground!

John and Elizabeth Sherrill met aboard ship on their way to Europe and were married in Switzerland in 1947.

For 56 years, Elizabeth has been a writer and editor for Guideposts Magazine. In 1970 she and her husband founded a publishing company, Chosen Books*, dedicated to developing new Christian writers. Their first title was Born Again by Charles Colson.

The Sherrills' work has taken them on year-long assignments in Africa, South America and Europe, as well as numerous trips to the Near and Far East, and to each of the 50 US states. Elizabeth has taught writing workshops on five continents.

The couple's writing still keeps them on the road, here and abroad, about half the time. The Sherrills have three children, eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild, and are occasionally at home in Chappaqua, New York.

* In 1992 Chosen Books was sold to Baker Books Publishing Group. For Chosen's manuscript submission policy today contact Chosen Books at jcampbell@chosenbooks.com.
