Shelli began writing in earnest when the last of her five children graduated from home school high school. She is herself a 2020 graduate of George Fox University, with an interdisciplinary degree in biblical studies and art and a minor in writing.

Besides writing and encouraging other writers, Shelli is a Bible student and artist. Other favorite pastimes are reading, researching, and writing, and spending time in creation. This is where you may find her hiking in the woods, walking on a beach, biking, stargazing, camping, picnicking, or exploring natural parks.

Perfect Title

Untamed faith in Yahweh—shown by the faithful main character and growing in the unbelievers—especially Arioch. If you love the Lord, you’ll love the middle episode of this series.

Yes, to unmatched love

I love how Yahweh’s unmatched love is shown to be behind the love He inspires in the characters for other people and between the main characters in this third book in the series.

This story swept me up, inspiring awe of Yahweh, along with the characters… I love the way the author wove story with history and humanness to absorb hours of my life. All worthwhile.

Fires of Injustice is another engaging, well-written and researched, historical fiction by Kendy Pearson. Again, I grew attached to the believable, lovable, relatable main characters! During the semi-fictional crises (that likely happened) caused by ...more

loved it

Loved the characters and main theme. It was too short though. I wanted the author to commit more story to paper instead of inferring.

Jackie Hill Perry
“...her life was full of power in ways that I never knew possible. How when unbelief came near, she faithfully turned Scripture loose to capture and strangle it into submission to a higher will than her own. A gifted woman she was but ungodly she was not. I had known many a person with glorious gifts and satanic lives, but this woman showed me that knowing God was more than knowing about Him and doing things for Him but knowing Him.”

“J.I. Packer writes, “It [knowing God] is the most practical project anyone can engage in. Knowing about God is crucially important for living our lives.” Packer continues, “Disregard the study of God, and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through this life blindfolded, as it were, with no sense of direction and no understanding of what surrounds you.”
J.I. Packer
