What is the title of your latest book?
Hungry for God . . . Starving for Time, Five-Minute Devotions for Busy Women
Tell us more about your book:
You want to connect with God, but in the craziness of life, you just can’t make it happen. Between the demands of work, relationships, church and civic activities, and everything else that crowds your days, you’re hungry for God, but starving for time. You want practical, biblical answers to situations you face every day, but you don’t have hours to pour over Scripture. You need a resource that answers the questions you’re afraid to ask out loud. Questions like:
• Is my situation hopeless?
• If God already knows what he’s going to do, why bother to pray?
• Why have you allowed this to happen to me?
• No one appreciates what I do. Why shouldn’t I quit?
Each devotion begins with a Facetime question and ends with a biblical answer wrapped in a modern-day parable. Like a spiritual power bar, Hungry for God … Starving for Time is packed with enough scriptural nutrition to get you through the day.
Wherever you are—in break rooms, carpool lines, or wherever you can snatch five minutes of quiet reflection—Hungry for God … Starving for Time, 5-Minute Devotions for Busy Women is for you.
Why do you write what you do?
Today’s women are running too hard, spread too thin, and trying to be all things to all people. In the busyness of life, time with God gets squeezed out. I write five-minute devotions to help women connect with God in the craziness of everyday life. Like a spiritual power bar, I hope my devotions provide solid biblical nutrition to get a busy woman through to the next spiritual meal.
What are you currently working on?:
I’m working on my next devotional book, Feeding Your Soul in a Drive Thru World.
How does your work differ from other work in its genre?: My goal is to write like Jesus taught — by sharing everyday stories people can relate to, then connecting them with spiritual truths that can change a person’s life.
How does your work differ from other work in its genre?
There are shelves of books about living a generous life. However, When More is Not Enough is different because it is practical, and it lays out start-this-very-second ideas which encourage families to take small steps in order to create big change in their lives.
How does your writing process work?
I start my day by spending time in God’s Word and prayer. I ask God to give me insight and show me where he is at work in the world. As I move through my day, I watch and think, trying to filter what I see through Scripture. Sometimes I laugh at what God uses to teach me a spiritual truth — one time he used a discarded cup on the side of the road to teach me about servanthood. Another time he used an old I Love Lucy episode to remind me how hopeless and overwhelming life without Christ is. There’s no telling what He’s going to use to make his point. I just try to keep my eyes and ears open.
