Who is Holding on to You?

By shauna 2 Comments

Who is holding on to you? On June 9, 2009, we experienced the fishing trip that would ruin all future family fishing trips. Our boys were getting interested in fishing, but I didn't particularly care for worms, hooks, or the stench in the laundry after we'd manhandled all manner of smelly creatures. But on this June evening, Kurt was there to handle the slimy things, and he'd received a top-secret fishing tip about where the fish were biting. It was a good tip. Kurt rigged up poles for … [Read more...]

What’s that smell?

By shauna Leave a Comment

Last week I took my regular walk down to the water. I rounded the curve, and the expansive lake spread out before me. Sometimes I round that curve, and the breeze blowing up the shore carries the most unappealing smells. Often, I smell a rotting carcass, and as the smell gets stronger, I inevitably see a dead carp bloating in the sun. There’s a garbage can close to the dock, and a nauseating cocktail of odors seep from under its fitted metal lid. When the lake is low, a quarter-mile of soggy … [Read more...]

What to Do When You Don’t Know What to Do

By shauna 2 Comments

“Mom, I have a problem.” It’s the phone greeting no one wants. For a parent, those five words have the power to rev up the circulatory system and unleash a maximum dose of adrenaline. It was a gorgeous day, and since everything in our entire schedule had been canceled, my son went fishing. He drove our four-wheeler less than a quarter of a mile to the nearest shoreline to see if anything was biting. He’d been gone a couple hours when he called. “Mom, I have a problem.” Before he had … [Read more...]

How I Learned about “Murder, Motherhood & Miraculous Grace”

By shauna Leave a Comment

It’s always risky to share a hotel room with a stranger. Some would call it crazy. But I did it anyway. Lest you think I’m completely out of my mind, the risk was mitigated by the fact that my roommate and I were both women attending a Christian Writers conference in Estes Park, Colorado. By the time we met on that May evening in 2014, I was exhausted. I had driven eight hours, located registration, lodging, dining and classrooms, and attended a pre-conference session. When the first key-note … [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.
