I have come to believe that by and large the human family has all the same secrets. – Fredrick Buechner

About Me

Marti: I play with words, travel the world, meet people, listen to stories, live by faith, read all the time, and write about what I see and hear. This blog is a place where you can find observations on this life. My views are not necessarily those of my organization, though so far they are tolerant of my quirks. So is my husband, Chris: In May 2012 I left behind a lifetime of singleness to become a wife and stepmother.

When Everything is Missions

No author credit on this one, but it already had two authors (and they needed an editor). So though I put in 120 hours on the project, I decided it was best to just bury my name in the acknowledgements. Did the same thing a few years ago with "God's Heart for the Nations." Soft launch of WEIM was October 2017, with a more complete release in January 2018. Update: By mid-2019 10,000 copies had been distributed (about half given away for free, since this was always meant as more an awareness-raising venture than a money-making one). A sequel of sorts will come out in 2020.

Study Guide for Christian Workers

The study guide I wrote in the fall of 2015, based on content already created by the other author, came out in February, 2016. This kind of collaboration is a great way to go. Sadly, the publisher shut down in 2017.
