The Gospel According to… Halloween?

By shauna Leave a Comment

What if the gospel is more like Halloween than Christmas? If you grew up hearing that Halloween was the celebration of evil, you might feel as shocked as I did when the question was posed to me. When I considered how the two holidays might relate to the gospel, the thought of Halloween being a superior picture seemed downright heretical. Until I took my youngest son trick-or-treating.   Costume design is not my forte, so my son dressed in his baseball pants, his team t-shirt, … [Read more...]

Why this trial?

By shauna 4 Comments

It’s often said, “You’ve either been through a trial, are going through a trial, or are headed for a trial.” I’m not sure who first said it, but life sure has a way of validating the statement, doesn’t it? Pandemic, anyone? Add to that a thousand physical, emotional, and spiritual battles along the way, and we realize that to live is to face trials. Pandemic or not. Doesn't it make you long for a time when you can retire on a beach and cast your trials into the ocean? But by that … [Read more...]

On Caring for Yourself without Rolling Your Eyes

By shauna Leave a Comment

Self-Care. Stop right there. Did you just roll your eyes? I did. Or at least I used to. “Self care” sounded like a personality assessment, painted toe nails, and coffee with an elaborate drawing in the foamed milk. It seemed less than helpful to me. I mean, as believers in Jesus, aren’t we supposed to spend ourselves on behalf of the poor (Isaiah 58:10)? And shouldn’t we to consider others as better than ourselves (Phillipians 2:3)? And don’t we work heartily as though we’re working for … [Read more...]

Where to Find Relief from a Noisy Election Cycle

By shauna Leave a Comment

The first election cycle I remember paying attention to is only memorable to me because of the fear I had as I watched the results roll in. The votes were tipped toward the candidate that wasn’t “our guy.” And “we” lost. I had listened to radio broadcast, news reports, and the adults in my life talk about what kind of world we’d live in if “our guy” lost. And when “our guy” did lose, I half expected to wake up a political exile. I know the people around me didn't mean to be fear mongers. … [Read more...]

An Easy Burden?

By shauna 2 Comments

It’s one of my favorite verses. It even appears at the end of everything you read here. Sometimes it seems a little funny to quote the whole verse though because its context is colored with an unfamiliar agricultural metaphor. What on earth is a yoke? In modern terms, it was a farm implement. The apparatus that bound two animals together in their work of pulling the plow. While the stronger animal bore the bulk of the weight, a smaller, younger animal learned from him. He learned the … [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.

Beautiful end to a beautiful day. Beautiful end to a beautiful day.
If you read Remarkable Advent this year, you know If you read Remarkable Advent this year, you know that we "left" Jesus in the manger. But of course, he didn't stay there.

In the first chapter of my book, Remarkable Hope, I’ve retold the story of Jesus’ first trip to church, so to speak 😉.

If you're looking for a book to start the new year, Remarkable Hope might be a wonderful continuation of your Advent reading. And right now would be the time to snag the ebook for a great price!!
