As a little girl I used to dream about writing a book. Back then, I was sure I’d write incredible characters doing brave things that changed lives. And while my dream of novel writing has yet to be fulfilled, I have had the extraordinary opportunity write and contribute to several nonfiction works.

Praying for Girls: Asking God for the Things They Need Most (Bethany House, 2017) is my first traditionally published work. Written for moms like me who aren’t always sure what or how to pray, Praying for Girls contains 200 Bible-based prayers as well as suggested activities and conversation starters, Praying for Girls is a must-have tool in every mom’s arsenal.
Available at LifeWay, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, ChristianBook.com, Books-A-Million, and other online retailers.
Prayers from the Pews: The Power of Praying for Your Church (self-published, 2012) explores the connection between embracing Scripture, evaluating personal experience, and experiencing the power in praying for your church. Acknowledging the difficulties and short-comings of the “institution of church” while challenging believers to invest in the study of the early church and harness the power of prayer, my desire is to bring voice of hope to the often-hopeless landscape of the modern church experience.
Available on Amazon.
I’m very excited to be a part of this … the (in)courage Devotional Bible!
I contributed three devotionals to this beautiful collaborative project. And I have LOVED using this Bible. I had no idea how much having a really pretty Bible would mean to me … but this one is as lovely as it is useful. Part study Bible and part journaling Bible, the (in)courage Devotional Bible also includes ten reading plans which will take you through the whole Bible, giving you a valuable overview of how all of Scripture points to the redemptive story of Christ.
Available from DaySpring in four different covers (and, yes, they are all gorgeous!)

Join the Insanity: The Crazy-Fun Life in the Pastors’ Wives Club (New Hope Publishers, 2014) is a fun but meaningful book for pastors’ wives by Rhonda Rhea.
