The name of my ministry and my life's mission is About His Work Ministries. I founded the Woman to Woman Mentoring Ministry at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, CA twelve years ago and wrote the resource "Woman to Woman Mentoring How To Start, Grow, and Maintain a Mentoring Ministry" (LifeWay, 2000)to help other churches start mentoring ministries. Mentoring is the theme that runs through all of my speaking and writing. It's sharing those been there done that experiences and with God's help you made it through and you can help others do the same. So when I had breast cancer five years ago I wrote a book to encourage others from my own experiences--"Dear God, They Say It's Cancer A Companion Guide for Women on the Breast Cancer Journey" (Howard Books a div of Simon and Shuster 2006). My most recent book mentors hurting parents of prodigal daughters. It is based on the journey my own daughter and I took away from God and then back into His arms--"Praying for Your Prodigal Daughter Hope, Help, and Encouragement for Hurting parents" (Howard Books a div of S&S 2/5/08).

I feel that God does not let us go through experiences just for our own character building. He is going to put someone in our path going thru something similar and He wants us to teach them what we have learned and give them hope that He will bring them through the situation just like he did us.

I am married to a wonderful, godly man and have ten incredible grandchildren to whom I am Grammie. I love this season of life and often say that God saved the best for last!

I am a full time author, speaker, wife, and grammie and I love walking in the morning with my friends and hanging out at our mountain cabin where I often go to write. I am so glad I have the Lord guiding my life and I want to help others find that peace that passes all understanding.
