About the Author

In 1998 I graduated from high school and headed off to Concordia College in Moorhead, MN. I graduated magna cum laude with a BA in Political Science and Philosophy.  I surrendered my life to Christ in the summer of 2002 and from that point on, my life changed dramatically. This time in my life consisted of a tug-of-war between my own expectations and what I felt God was telling me to do.  To put it plainly, it was a time marked by confusion.  My original intentions to pursue a law degree no longer seemed to fit.  I developed Plan B and was accepted to seminary, only to sense the Lord telling me I still wasn’t on the right track. Meanwhile, I began volunteering in children’s ministry, in which I now have over a decade of experience teaching anywhere from toddlers to sixth graders.

A bedtime or anytime story! "My Kiss Won't Miss" demonstrates the constant and pursuing love of a mother when her son sneaks out of bed and hides. Her commitment is this: "If I can't catch you for a kiss, I'll blow a kiss and it won't miss." There is no hiding place to which her kiss cannot be blown. Yet in the end, a love even greater than a mother's is revealed!This story is inspired by Romans 8:38-39 which states that nothing can separate us from the love of God. The illustrations capture the universal quality of God's love with their diverse character depictions. This book will offer both adventure and comfort appropriate for children ages two to five.
