Fresh brewed review
Thank you, Pattie, of Fresh Brewed Writer, for this review!
A recent statistic said that over 80% of Christian teens abandon their faith for a season. Author T. Suzanne Eller says, “As someone who has ministered to teens for a long time, I believe that teens leave a support system only to have to find out what they believe, as opposed to what they’ve heard in a sermon or celebrated as a family.” Making It Real starts that journey now, rather than later so that they are not one of the 80% who aren’t sure what they believe anymore. Whether the reader is a first-time Christ-seeker or a seasoned believer, the book is for teens wanting to know God on a personal life-changing level. (more…)

Women’s Bible Study Expo
Have you ever wondered what books you could use in your Bible study? Or in your women’s ministries or small cell group?
I had the most fun yesterday talking with Marnie Swedberg and her audience of women’s ministry leaders. But I was only one of many, including Hearts at Home founder Jill Savage, authors and speakers Jennifer Rothschild, Lysa TerKeurst, Nancy Stafford, Nancy Leigh DeMoss, and many others.
Check out this great site and listen to the interviews, read about the books, and see if any of these women or topics might be great for your group (or you!).
Link: Women’s Bible Study Expo. Oh, and did I mention they are giving away prizes? That just makes it more fun!

Surprise!
Last night I talked with Roland, host of TruVue Radio. It was a blast. Right in the middle of the conversation Roland told me he had a surprise for me.
I love surprises!
He said that he had given my book, The Mom I Want to Be, to a friend. And she wanted to ask me a couple of questions.
The next 10 minutes were the biggest blessing I’ve had in a long, long time. Sherma told me that she was one of 13 children and she was resentful of the her childhood, angry with her mom. She told me that reading the book impacted her so much that she had to call her mom and their conversation allowed a fresh start. She said a lot more, but what Sherma didn’t realize is that she was encouraging me in a powerful way.
You see, just that day I asked the question I’ve asked many times: Am I really supposed to be doing this? It’s been nearly 2 years since my last book released. I just completed my taxes and was reminded all over again that ministry is a faith walk financially. Two of many questions I’ve wrestled with over the last several days.
Sherma’s story was straight from Heaven, woman to woman talking about who God is and what he can do, and how he works even when we can’t see the results.
It made me love being a writer and in ministry all over again. Thank you, Sherma.
I hope you’ll tune in tonight at TruVue at 7:00 p.m. CST, 8:00 p.m. EST, or 5:00 p.m. PST to hear the whole interview. I hope you’ll share your stories, your struggles, and your journey of faith.
I appreciate you,
Suzie
