Where is the Bright, New Day?

By shauna Leave a Comment

If your personal suffering has you straining into the distance aching for a shred of hope, or if national conflicts have you wishing for a better country, read on. I've invited my friend Glenna to be our guest this month. She's a singer, speaker, adoptive mom, and a survivor of several long-term trials. She knows a little something about finding hope, and like an experienced guide, she leads us to the certain hope of our bright new day. Every Sunday night we have movie and charcuterie … [Read more...]

Unlikely Reasons for Gratitude: Change

By shauna 4 Comments

In 1987 on their debut album, the group Exposé had a song called "Seasons Change." It was a pop culture lament over lost love and time. Thirty years later that song still occasionally gets stuck in my head. "Change" gets a bad rap, especially in the song. But recently I've been really thankful for change. For instance, we’re done with elementary school. We have three--almost 4--drivers in the family. Everyone sleeps. It’s a world away from where I was 12 years ago. In the fall of 2005 I … [Read more...]

Making Stories Come to Life this Summer

By shauna Leave a Comment

It was the only thing on our summer bucket-list that actually required a bucket, and it started on the banks of the Sugar Creek. It also included one of the manliest cooking "tools" in the world. I wrote about it today over at The MOB (Mothers of Boys) Society's Blog. And I've included some pictures of our process below. Incredibly, veggies, fish and even sweetcorn were cooked to perfection! Be sure to check out why in the world we did this over at The MOB … [Read more...]

That’s My Mom: A Tribute

By shauna Leave a Comment

How can we number the things a mother teaches her children? Mothers teach children how to tie, how to dress, how to brush their teeth, and how to use their manners. The mechanics of life become a bit more complex in the teenage years. We teach them to drive, and to answer out loud when spoken to (though it seems by this time it should go without saying!). But it’s only when we look back on what we’ve learned from our own mothers that we get a glimpse of the volumes of wisdom housed in our … [Read more...]

The Ministry of March Madness

By shauna Leave a Comment

Basketball and I have a dismal history. But I married a basketball player—a small-town, high school stand-out, I’m told. My basketball history is less stand-out-ish. I remember sort of  watching exactly one basketball game. Lakers versus Celtics. It was a high stakes game. Die-hard Lakers fans like my brothers sported purple and yellow high-top sneakers for the entire season in an act of loyal devotion. It was Bird versus Magic, and I was nervous. Why? I have no idea. I just desperately … [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.
