About the Author

Amy Bragdon’s story is more than a journey of milestones, it’s a testimony of legacy, leadership, and a sacred call to rise.
Born and raised in the heart of rural New Brunswick, Amy grew up in a home built on faith, family, and fierce devotion. Her father, a quiet but steadfast provider, and her mother, a radiant force of humor and grit, shaped Amy’s understanding of what it means to live with purpose, even on the hardest days. She was raised in a house where faith was not just spoken, but lived. Where love was loud, work was sacred, and where the call to serve others was modeled long before it was preached.
At the age of five, Amy watched a World Vision commercial that stirred something deep in her soul. That moment, raw and unscripted, planted a seed that would later grow into a life of impact, service, and global purpose. Today, Amy serves as a Regional Engagement Advisor for World Vision Canada, partnering with churches, corporations, and communities to build a better future for children and families around the world.
Amy is also a successful Realtor, Bragdon Realty, where faith and community go hand in hand. With each transaction, she gives back, supporting Habitat for Humanity, serving on their Board of Directors, and investing in the people and places she believes in. For Amy, real estate is more than keys and contracts, it’s about building dreams, one home and one heart at a time.
A woman of many callings, Amy also runs Bragdon AirBNB, a hospitality haven designed to reflect warmth, welcome, and intentional beauty. She is a writer, speaker, and passionate storyteller whose words reflect the heart of a woman walking in both fire and favor. Her first two books, Beauty for Ashes and Rising from the Ashes, explored grief, travel, faith, and healing. This third book, For Such A Time As This, is her charge to the reader: to lead, love, and live with kingdom legacy.
Amy’s life is shaped by sacred yeses and silent prayers. Whether she's standing in a Habitat build, worshiping under cathedral ceilings in Paris, sipping coffee on her sunlit deck, or visiting a church in Atlantic Canada, her heartbeat is clear: we were made for more, and we are appointed to rise.
Her life mantra:
“Legacy is not something you leave behind. It’s something you live, day by day, yes by yes.”
Her anchor:
“Cast all your cares on Him, because He cares for you.”
— 1 Peter 5:7
