About the Author

Melanie Leach lives in Dallas, Texas. She graduated from Nicholls State University and has worked in marketing for the past twenty years, most recently with Pepsico at Frito Lay in Innovation Marketing. Essentially, her job was to invent new snacks. She and her husband, Will, have led Christian Passover Seders for several years in their home. Her hope is to introduce this rich tradition to evangelicals to create meaningful, rich traditions in homes everywhere. Melanie enjoys cooking and eating with friends and neighbors, playing tennis, traveling with her husband of ten years and keeping up with their five year old son, Nicholas. Susie Hawkins lives in Dallas and has been actively involved in ministry as a pastor's wife, teacher and volunteer. She is a contributor to various publications, such as Voices Behind the Veil and the "Women's Evangelical Old Testament Commentary." She is the author of "From One Ministry Wife to Another." Susie enjoys traveling to Israel with her husband O.S. and has been exploring Christianity's Jewish roots and its rich history these past thirty years. She has participated in Seders while in Florida, Texas and Israel and wants others to share in these valuable insights and discoveries. Susie and OS have two married daughters and six young grandchildren who have served as her guinea pigs in exploring with others why Passover is "a night that is different from any other night."
