Christie has three new children’s books that teach lessons for kids about life.

What’s a Puppy To Do? (about learning to do the YESES in life and not the NO’s!). One little boy told his grandma to read it again, four times!! Illustrations are amazing!

What’s a Kitten To Do? (Learning to let your “meow” - your voice be heard even when others ignore you.) This is my granddaughter’s favorite. The illustrations are just toooo cute!

What’s a Parakeet To Do? (learning that God answers prayers even for little children.)
This is the newest book and it challenges young children to have faith! One cute and clever parakeet is illustrated in this book.

$8.50 each (plus shipping) and sold on Amazon.

The Travel Guides for the Curious

These are flip-books which began as a fun project. Christie and her husband travel through-out the State of Washington, and as they did she kept asking her husband, “I wonder how that city got its name.” He suggested she look it up, and that sparked her curious nature. What she found was too fascinating to keep to herself. These are sold at craft fairs and on line as awesome gifts and for travelers.

Weight Issues
When Godly Women Are Overweight and
50 Ways Out For Godly Women Who Are Overweight

WEIGHT ISSUES - After struggling with her weight most of her life, she partnered with God for some answers. It took her six years to be ready to write these books, and it truly was a partnership with the Lord. He would give her some truth as she woke up most mornings. These truths were finally organized into these 180 and 280 page books with truths, encouragements and specifics for this struggle in our lives. Christie also loves to speak on this topic to groups.

An EASTER CHALLENGE: Embracing Easter Like Peter

Many people say the Bible character they most identify with is Peter. I love the fact that God included his entire story for us to read — his failures and his ransformation.
In this devotional, we look at the things discovered AFTER Easter. What did Easter mean to the disciples and specifically to Peter.
This is a wonderful read before and after Easter and makes a wonderful gift.

Choosing Well….Unlike Jonah

FOR THOSE IN CHRISTIAN MINISTRY
In this book we don’t pick on Jonah, we learn from him. He made some significant choices that God walked through with him — He disciplines those He loves.
I wrote this book for those of us who are in ministry, either as laymen, para-church ministers or as ministers with roles in a local church. When we receive a calling to carry out a work for the Lord, Jonah’s lessons can teach us more than we realize. We all know this story, but in this 40-day devotional we examine how each of his choices and God’s actions relate to us.

Bringing Christmas To Life!

Here is Christie’s newest devotional. In fact, it is three devotionals in one book. These devotionals will truly make Christmas come to life for you. This will make a wonderful gifts. So many people tell me they read it every year sometimes as a family and sometimes alone.

Please contact me to purchase the travel books and the short devotionals.

Fresh Look Thinking Devotionals

I started writing these short devotionals from talks that I was giving to groups. Some liked purchasing the message on CD, but others liked to have it in print especially to give as a gift.
Now these Fresh Look Devotionals have become favorites. I have to write one a year because people ask, “So what gift am I giving to the gals in my small group this year.”
I started with a couple of Christmas devotionals. One friend said, “My mom and I read it every Christmas, starting on December 1. We love it!”

_____________________________________

Both of these devotionals have been used by ladys’ small groups. the other day a gal told me that two women came to the Lord using the Samaritan Woman devotional. My heart is thrilled to know that!
The devotional about the woman with the issue of blood is a popular talk I give quite often. It talks about 5 areas where she needed healing beyond the physical healing of her body after her encounter with Jesus.

As an English teacher, I am amazed at the power of identifying various parts of speech as I study scripture. Prepositions are especially key to understanding what a passage is saying.

_______________________________________
In studying the book of Job, I learned that there were four friends of Job. Three of them were exhorted for giving bad advice, but Elihu was used by God to prepare Job to hear from Him. He is actually an introvert!

_______________________________________
In ministry, in the years God worked with my husband and I to heal our marriage, and in my relationships, I have had to partner with God. This devotional talks about what it means to have God as your partner in life and how to give Him more power in your life as your partner.

Novels and the marriage book are on sale on Amazon. $16.99 and at the Connections Christian Store in Lynden, WA, and wherever Christie speaks.
