About the Author

Within the first five months of 1990, wedding bells rang not once, but twice for the Warren family, making high school acquaintances, Monica and Jodie, family. Despite never living closer than 650 miles from each other, a rich friendship rooted in a love for Jesus developed over the years. Although Monica and Jodie have served faithfully in their local churches in various capacities for more than five decades, both women testify that their one "real" credential is having been with Jesus (Acts 4:13)

Monica Warren-Looking at life's trials as filtered through the hands of a loving God, Monica has come to believe that "God is incapable of anything but His very best towards her." It is out of the confidence of this truth that Monica lives life, writes, and teaches others with a contagious passion. Monica resides in Mobile, Alabama with her husband, Claude. Together they are discovering the joys of a new season as they release their two college-aged children, Benjamin (along with his new wife, Kizzie) and Sydney, into the plans God has for them.

Jodie Wallace- Through life's trials and difficulties, Jodie has learned that Jesus really is her lifeline, her very food, water, and sustenance. A woman of simple faith and passionate about living life to the fullest, her greatest desire is to live out Jesus' promise - He who believes in me, rivers of living water will flow from his heart - allowing God's lavish love to flow into her and then on and to every person she encounters. Jodie lives in Austin, Texas with her amazing family - husband, Trent, and two children in their late teens, Hannah and Noah.
