The name Babbie Mason is synonymous with creative excellence in the Christian community. An award-winning singer-songwriter of Christian music, her ministry and career have blessed countless thousands for almost three decades. The daughter of a Baptist pastor, Babbie learned to serve others early in life. Demonstrating exceptional musical skill early in life, she became the church’s full-time pianist and choir director by age nine. She often accompanied her father, the late Rev. George W. Wade, as he preached at home and at churches across the Great Lake States. Those humble beginnings paved the way for a ministry that has taken Babbie Mason across the globe where she has encouraged the hearts of young and old alike in churches, conferences and corporate conventions.

An award-winning singer, songwriter, teacher and TV talk show host, Babbie Mason shows no signs of stopping. Taking the message of God’s love to an audience of women has led Babbie to author the brand new book, This I Know For Sure (Abingdon). Babbie encourages the reader to trust God with life’s questions and challenges. She digs deep into God’s Word, encouraging the reader to stand on what we know to be true of God’s character instead of on how we may feel. This I Know For Sure reflects on the faith-filled promises from God’s Word, helping the reader to realize that the things we know as Christians outweigh any doubt, uncertainty, or fear of the unknown. As a part of this life-giving theme called This I Know For Sure, there are several components, all by the same name, that enhance the book’s theme. In the 6 week women’s Bible study, Babbie teaches by DVD and shares uplifting music from her brand new CD in each session.
