Does it Seem Futile?

By shauna 1 Comment

It's time to leave the beach, and I dread making the announcement. The beach has become a reprieve for me in the busy days of parenting our three little boys. They were born within three years, so we never had time to store the stroller. I just kept squeezing them in and strapping them on—the youngest in the proper seat, the middle son curled into the fabric basket beneath it, and the oldest straddling the stroller's canopy. Aside from a few squabbles over the good goggles and the buckets … [Read more...]

The Far-Fetched Stories of Sacrificial Love

By shauna 4 Comments

It’s hard to explain love to a preschooler. You’d be wasting your breath giving a definition like “warm personal attachment.” Instead, we read stories like The Runaway Bunny, in which a young bunny tries to run from his mamma, but she lovingly, and sometimes stealthily, finds him and brings him home. In addition to reading far-fetched stories, parents “explain” love by caring for the children, even when they don’t want us to.  Even adults find it hard to understand God’s over-the-top, … [Read more...]

Great Christian Memoirs for 2022

By shauna 6 Comments

In 1997, Alistair Begg was the guest speaker in my college classroom. He thrilled his young-adult audience with the story of how he won the heart of his girlfriend, who became his wife, by writing letters.  After some correspondence, he traveled from Scotland to the US for a visit. Her friends--he described them as athletic young men--offered to take Alistair waterskiing to show him a good time. Alistair regaled us with the most hilarious and self-deprecating description of his first … [Read more...]

Book Recommendations for 2021

By shauna 10 Comments

Depending on which source you consult, between 300,000 and 328,000 books are published in the U.S. every year. Worldwide, 2.2 million new titles roll off the presses annually. How do you decide what to read next? Years ago, I resolved to keep track of the books I read. Since then, Goodreads has come along and made keeping track a whole lot easier. (If you're on Goodreads, let's connect here!) If you need a few recommendations to begin your reading year with a bang, I've listed my … [Read more...]

HI THERE!

I’m Shauna, and I help worn-out Christians find permanent rest and relief by retelling gospel stories that highlight Jesus’ kindness toward ordinary people like us.

In my books and on this blog, I weave history, theology, and fictional detail into a fresh retelling of familiar Bible stories. I started writing them because I needed them. When I shared my stories, people said they made the Bible come to life.

If you could use some permanent rest and relief, download my free Bible story devotional.
