Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m a Christian author and tentmaking missionary. My 30 traditionally-published books have sold more than 1.2 million copies worldwide and have been translated into numerous languages.
I write devotionals and bible studies for busy women who want to do what matters with their lives.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Special Blessings Prayer: How to Unleash the Love, Favor & Power of God Upon Your Life — was written over the course of just 10 days while living on a remote island in the South Pacific. I had just endured the worst betrayal of my life and was trying to heal and making sense of what had happened.
The book is based on 1 Samuel 25. Abigail responds to death threats – by speaking blessing over the life of her enemy. As a result, she defuses the conflict and that man, David, later becomes King of Israel. She marries hi and becomes the Queen.
If we want to live a blessed life, we need to learn how to pro-actively bless those who hurt us. When we do, we’ll experience a dimension of the Christian life that few ever really enter into.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write incredibly fast. My #1 best-selling book, Becoming a Vessel God Can Use, was written in 5 days My most recent book was written in 5 days. It rarely takes me more than a couple of weeks to write a full-length book.
