I’m stepping outside the fiction realm to celebrate with my friend Kim Galgano as she prepares for the release of her much-anticipated book The Chance to Choose. I used to attend the same church as Kim and was a part of her coffeehouse chats before we moved away. As she states on her blog, seeing The Chance to Choose in print is a dream ten years in the making. I’m always excited to see a debut author achieve the dream of publication, no matter how the journey unfolds, but this particular story is especially sweet because I watched her labor and sweat and strive until the dream became a tangible reality. She inspires me to keep on keepin’ on and to be faithful to the One who calls us to use our gifts and abilities for His glory.
Back Cover Blurb:
How could a homespun Pennsylvanian like me nearly be sold into the sex trade? That answer is found in 1,000 seemingly unimportant decisions.
But all too often we ignore our choices. How do you choose?
Within the pages of The Chance to Choose, an unfettered guide to remedy your indecisiveness awaits. Nestled in the Biblical book of Jeremiah lies an often overlooked verse containing a simple, flexible, and very powerful process for decision-making.
The Jeremiah Method™ contains both structure and freedom, with pages of opportunity to piece together your personal transformation. May this be a safe place to fashion a course for the rest of your life, while learning to choose with confidence.
“Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths;
ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.” Jeremiah 6:16
Author Bio:
The best choice I ever made was going to India over 25 years ago! It was there, as I sat in a field, where God showed me all the poor choices I’d made in the past.
Choices of greed, lust, selfishness, and empty love. He then took me from my “religious” view of Him, to a place of peace and freedom as I was birthed into a relationship with a living Savior!
Since then I have seen how He often uses cracked people like you and me to display His promise, but my own personal experience reveals His ability to draw souls by His own unique presence alone; a prize I will always treasure!
The second best choice I’ve ever made was marrying my husband of over 20 years, Adam, who I fondly refer to in my blogs as “The Teacher.” My soul-mate and best friend has been my biggest source of encouragement. Without his constant boost of hope, laughter and patience, I’d be somewhere completely different, I’m sure! Without him we also wouldn’t have the incredible blessing of our three children, Carter, Davis and Maggie.
I never set out to be a speaker or a writer. I grew up outside of Philadelphia and graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Communications Media. My dream was to direct movies. It wasn’t until looking in the bathroom mirror over 15 years ago when God whispered, “You have a story to tell, maybe even a few.” that I felt the millstone and the beginning of Chicks with Choices™. I just never imagined this early vision would blossom into the business and ministry it has become today.
