Heather Linchenko was raised in a Christian home in Idaho, the eighth of ten children. She served as a missionary in Belgium and France and was privileged to work for several years as the executive assistant to Stephen R. Covey, author of the best-selling book, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. She married a man who grew up as one of two siblings in an atheist home in communist Russia.

One of her greatest compliments is to have been referred to as “the relationship scientist.”
Her central guiding quote is: “From the closed-mindedness that won’t accept new truth; from the laziness that will accept half-truth; From the arrogance that think
