Biblical Women And Who They Hooked Up With

Fact: Every relationship in your life past, present, and future is directly related to the state of your heart. So, let’s take some time to examine that heart of yours: do a little thoughtful introspection, examine its quality, realign your priorities, begin to fix what’s broken, begin to strengthen what’s weak, find what’s lost and … make God smile a bit.

Let me introduce you to: Eve and The Only Guy On the Planet – A Heart of Perfection. Sarah and The Guy She Was With For One Hundred Years – A Heart Of Patience. Leah and Her Sister’s Husband – A Heart Of Self Confidence. Tamar and The Guy She Picked Up On The Side Of The Road – A Heart Of Strength. Rahab and The Guy Who Got It For Free – A Heart of Belief. Bathsheba and The Guy Who Didn’t Give Her Much Choice – A Heart Of Trust. And Mary and The Perfect One – A Heart Of Obedience.

Realize what is at the heart of the matter: A Heart Committed To God.


My first foray into nonfiction! Get to know, up close and personal, a few of my most favorite biblical women. Women who, stunningly, are very much like you and me ... except they didn't have indoor plumbing and a few other creature comforts.Biblically accurate, I work to bring these godly women to life with a little bit of humor, a lot of interesting facts and some thought-provoking questions.The very same struggles we face today, these women faced as well. Why not take a moment or two to check out how they handled things? Maybe you'll get a few new survival tips to help you along your way.

What My Books Are All About

My books are meant to inspire. Hopefully make you smile and feel encouraged. Perhaps make you think a bit about yourself, your life, and your relationships. It is my sincere hope that by spending your valuable time reading my stories, you will gain some insight into yourself and your relationship with God. Perhaps your life's perspective may change a bit for the better?

Women's Fiction, Historical Fiction, Contemporary Fiction, Inspirational Fiction, Young Adult ... my stories seem to fit all these categories and none of them. I write from my heart and am determined to share these stories that I have been gifted with.

My Logo

When it came time to form my publishing company, the name - Faith Inspired Books - came quite easily. I believe firmly that each and every one of my stories is a special blessing from God, so the idea that I'm inspired through my faith was pretty elemental. But coming up with a logo, for a while, seemed just about impossible. How can you illustrate a concept like inspired faith? How impossible is that?! I tried angels and hearts, Bibles and strong, beautiful trees. But nothing felt right.

Then my wonderful artist friend Laury (who's also done most of my covers) sent me this odd little symbol that looked a little bit like a parenthesis lying on its side with a big dot in its center. I remember staring and staring at that symbol and then all of a sudden ... I smiled. To me, that parenthesis is really God's hand and that dot, well, that dot is little 'ole me safely in His palm - just where I want to be. Lots of times when I explain my logo to people they look at me with a puzzled expression followed by a "whatever" look. Which makes me smile once again. Perhaps they'll think about themselves and whether they are in God's palm, huh?

Faith Inspired Books - books with heart and soul. Stories written by a woman who strives to be right in the center of God's palm. The very best place one could strive to be.
