A short story about us

Murless Allen is a Christ-led author, teacher, and mentor whose life’s work is to encourage, uplift, and guide others into a deeper walk with God. She is also a devoted mother to her two sons, Alaric and Tramaine, and cherishes the blessing of their families. A self-described country girl from Emporia, Virginia, Murless is known for her kindness, humility, and heart for service. She finds joy in seeing Christ transform everyday lives in meaningful ways—through marriage, parenting, finances, and the many challenges of life. As a real estate broker, Murless, also known as Liz, extends that same compassion by helping families facing income challenges find homes that meet their unique needs. Her selfless devotion to God and to others has been a source of blessing and encouragement to many. “The Word and the Way” is more than her personal philosophy—it is the path she strives to live each day. As you continue your journey through Scripture and grow in your faith, it is her heartfelt prayer that you will receive the Word and discover the Way.
