I’m in print again this year! 
The Term: A Word for the Campus by the Campus launched in 2016, published by Collegiate Ministries of the United Methodist Church. Several of my sermons (and one prayer) have been included in the first two issues, Fall/Winter 2016 and Spring/Summer 2017. Learn more about the publication here or get your copy from Amazon.
I’m thrilled to be one of the contributors to There’s a Woman in the Pulpit: Christian Clergywomen Share Their Hard Days, Holy Moments & the Healing Power of Humor (SkyLight Paths Publishing), published in April 2015. (Also available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.)
It is a joy to be included in this collection of stories and prayers written by more than 50 of my colleagues who are members of RevGalBlogPals and who represent 14 denominations, 5 countries, and more than a dozen seminaries.
“In ministry, we constantly balance the sacred and the ordinary, juggling the two as expertly as we manage a chalice and a [baby] bottle. Even as we do things as simple as light the candles, set the table, break the bread and pour the wine, we invite people into a holy moment…. The women [in this book] not only have a wellspring of deep wisdom, but they also have the ability to dish out their knowledge with side-aching humor…. I am thrilled that their great wisdom and intelligence will be bound into the pages that I can turn to, lend and appreciate for years to come.” —from the Foreword by Rev. Carol Howard Merritt
Intended for laypeople, women hearing a call to ministry and clergy of all denominations, these stories and prayers will resonate with, challenge, encourage and amuse anyone who has a passion for their work and faith. A group reading guide will be available on the SkyLight Paths Publishing website – consider choosing it for your book group!
