I’m so excited! The other night I woke up with a great idea. I wish I could share it with you. I will. I promise, just not yet.

But I will say that a new teen fiction series is in the works. The twist? It will involve real teens. Maybe even you.

Intrigued? Stay in touch. . .

I’ve been looking at your website, and I really like the article, “Living on Borrowed Convictions”. I teach middle school students at a Christian Montessori school. My students don’t have much faith to speak of. I want to be able to “teach religion” in such a way to encourage them to ask “big questions”: Who am I? Who is God?, etc. without teaching dogmatically.

Do you have any suggestions? We are interdenominational. I think we need to start with Relationship with God before the Rules. We also have to be able to encourage searching for answers without compromising the Truth. Any thoughts you have would be welcome! (It’s okay to share this question on the web.) Thank you! (more…)

I just finished reading your book, “The Woman I Am Becoming”. It’s weird how things work out. I was actually at an airport and I thought I would pass time by browsing through one of the stores. I found your book on the inspirational stand and for some reason I thought “I need to read this book”. And I’m glad that I did.

I’m a second year in college away from home. I’ve been struggling to find a bible study group, as the one on campus is small and unsteady. This also effects finding a community. All my close brothers and sisters are back home and due to time difference it’s hard to communicate. Lastly, I just want to say that Chapters 8 thru 10 were great reminders and it gave me a new perspective on giving and makes me question how I spend my money. I just wanted to say thank you for writing such inspirational books.

God bless.

Do you want to take your faith deeper? Do you seek more than churchianity? Do you want to know God in a relevant, personal way?

This week I sat with a group of teens who are all going through my book, Making It Real: Whose Faith Is It Anyway? (more…)

A few years ago Bekah Hamrick lost a friend who meant a lot to her. She shared her feelings about that amazing friendship, and her loss in a poem titled Sunrise, published in Real Teens, Real Stories, Real Life.

Where is Bekah now? (more…)

Every once in a while a writer gets to hear what others are saying about their books, and it’s exciting. Yesterday someone sent me this review for my book, Making It Real: Whose Faith Is It Anyway? that was featured on TitleTrakk. (more…)

My new book — Making It Real, Whose Faith Is It Anyway?– will be released in just 10 weeks! It’s a discipleship series for teens and it’s designed for teens who want to take their faith to the next level.
