Medical Thrillers: Robin Cook meets John Q
Bible Studies: Nothing. Years ago I envisioned my ideal in a Bible study guide...one with active study on weekdays but passive devotionals (aimed at application) on the weekends; small enough to go in a diaper bag; one that included the entire Bible text so I could do it in a doctor's waiting room; one that lent itself to both individual and group study; one that appealed to more than the visual-only participant; written by a writer with an imperfect Christian life; with a binding I could file on my bookshelf but with a spiral on it so I could use it on the treadmill or write in it (workbook) without the book flipping open. Voila! The Coffee Cup Bible Series. My web site at www.aspire2.com has additional info, like art, that relates to each study.

Java with the Judges (AMG) (2006)
"They all did what was right in their own eyes." Sound familiar? In the history of the nation of Israel, the period of the judges looked much like today. Okay, they didn't have Internet porn and bio-terrorism threats. But they had the me-centered "I" mentality masteredjust like we do.

Because Hannah's story happened during the time of the judges, an overview of 1 Samuel 1 is also included.

Mocha on the Mount (AMG) (2006)
Imagine yourself having coffee with Jesus. What would you ask Him? What might He ask you? In this study we consider His words in the Sermon on the Mount and explore how our righteousness can actually "exceed that of the scribes and the Pharisees." Okay, actually, we'll explore how Jesus set the bar so high that we see the key to entering the kingdom of heaven: realizing our deep need for grace and for someone else's righteousness to be credited to our account. That's the only way we get that kind of righteousness.

I love to write. And my passion is engaging the culture on issues that matter.
Currently I'm editor of Dallas Seminary's magazine, Kindred Spirit, and I have a number of books in print, the latest being the Coffee Cup Bible study series (a tall mocha and a Bible make the perfect combo). I've coauthored three biothrillers with a medical doctor and I launched my first medical thriller, Informed Consent, last August. The third edition of my co'd book, Sexual Intimacy in Marriage, released May 2007.
I started writing stories in the second grade and haven't stopped yet.
I'm a fifth-generation Oregonian transplanted in Dallas, Texas. I'm the wife of one husband, mother of one child, teacher of many creative arts students at my alma mater, Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS), and student (PhD in aesthetic studies) at the University of Texas at Dallas. I love mentoring writers, writing, travel, and talking bioethics.
I serve on the boards of the Evangelical Press Association and Hannah's Prayer, and the women's executive committee for bible.org.
The most important factoid about me: I am a Christ-follower, having trusted Him on Valentine's Day when I was 14.
I've been married for more than a quarter-century to a fab guy, and we have one daughter, who joined our family 13 years ago through the miracle of adoption.
My main blog, Aspire2 blog, focuses on--no surprise!--thinking that transforms--so I talk about current events, biblical thinking, art, medicine, and family life. |

Hey Dear Friend
God bless you , I am so happy to write you. My name is Kamran Bannet and i m from Pakistan Christian fellow and preacher of Gospel in Pakistan. I have a Sunday School for christian children in Pakistan.
the Parents cannnot afford to send their children in schools. thats why i opened for them a school where they not only learn the format education but also the Words of Gospel.
Please pray for our mission in Pakistan to teach and preach the words of Gospel in every corner of Pakistan.
We are just in community here only 5% Christians are living here. They have no rights and jobs here. SO, mostly ppl are illiterate so they have jobs only Sanitory works. The Pakistanni Christians are lving very misterable lives.
Please pray for our mission in Pakistan so the words of Gospel set free those christians who are in much need. Also pray for Special Hope Ministry , Pakistan to continue serving in Him.
Best wishes
Kamran Bannet
Special Hope Ministry, Pakistan
