I have a wonderful husband who is my helpmate in ministry, and four children who have blessed us with eleven beautiful grandchildren. I founded the Woman to Woman Mentoring Ministry at Saddleback Church in 1996 and train other churches to start mentoring ministries. I wrote the Woman to Woman Mentoring How to Start, Grow, and Maintain a Mentoring Ministry resources which are still in print, including the DVD Leader's Kit, and are available exclusively at my website www.womantowomanmentoring.com.

The seven studies in the Face-to-Face Bible study series are written to do on your own, two friends or mentor and mentee to do together, or as group study. Each study has a Leader's Guide.

The Team That Jesus Built is a practical, how-to book for building a women's ministry team or to enhancing a current team.

I have had two recurrences since my first breast cancer diagnosis in 2002 when I had the opportunity to write the book I longed to have, Dear God, They Say It's Cancer: A Companion Guide for Women on the Breast Cancer Journey (Howard Books/Simon & Schuster).

There are now two more Dear God, books: Dear God, Why Can't I Have a Baby? and Dear God, He's Home! A Woman's Guide to Her Stay-at-Home Man (New Hope Publishers, March 2013.

Praying for Your Prodigal Daughter: Hope, Help, & Encouragement for Hurting Parents tells the story of how I, and other hurting parents, learned to trust God and find peace in praying to Him for our children. This book is also applicable to parents of prodigal sons.

My two most recent books are Forsaken God?: Remembering the Goodness of God Our Culture Has Forgotten and Mentoring for All Seasons: Sharing Life Experiences and God's Faithfulness.

My writing, speaking, and editing ministry is About His Work Ministries.

After living in Southern California my entire life, we moved to the mountains of Idaho and love the slower pace! But the Lord continues to keep me About His Work!
