I grew up the younger of two daughters in Southeastern Pennsylvania but have lived in Western Pennsylvania, Japan, California, the Marshall Islands, and Massachusetts. My background includes Japanese and Asian Studies, Women's Studies, editing for market research companies, children's ministry, and a dollop of philanthropy (while in the islands) and fundraising (more recently in the Boston area). I am a wife of 28 years and a mom of three children 21 years old and under. We have moved 11 times in those years, and the words "transition," "grace," "flexibility," and "adjustment" have become our teachers and dear companions. My heart beats for discipleship and prayer, teaching preschool and junior high Sunday School students, and giving voice ...more

Willing To Review Christian Group — 710 members — last activity Jul 16, 2026 10:08AM
This is a group of Christians or people who are willing to review books from authors or writers from many different genres of Christian literature (MA This is a group of Christians or people who are willing to review books from authors or writers from many different genres of Christian literature (MAINLY, NEW AUTHORS AND STRUGGLING AUTHORS WHO NEED EXPOSURE ) If you are willing to review a book for a struggling or up and coming author please join the group. “AUTHORS” post your work on the book shelf, (Please don’t post any books, unless you are the author of that book) and want a review done of your work “AND” you are willing to send the willing reviewer a free copy of your book to be reviewed. After you post your book, leave a comment in the discussion board with info about yourself, so that the willing reviewer who has interest in reviewing your book can contact you, letting you know that they are interested and willing to review your book……. "WILLING" reviewers, please place your review here on Goodreads . “AUTHORS” Don’t worry if you get more than one person willing to review your work; that's a plus! The more exposure you get the better for your book, especially if you get good reviews. This will be up to you “the author” about how many reviewers you decide to send your book to. This is good for reviewers too; they can get overloaded with books and the work becomes tedious, so this way even a reviewer can limit how many books they are willing to review. I encourage authors and reviewers to join this group, because there are authors who also review. “AUTHORS” UNFORTUNATELY, even though you place your book on the bookshelf and post info about your book in the discussion board, does not guarantee you will get someone to review your work; all you can do is display your works here, and ask if anyone is willing to review your book. Every so often, I will send out a message to all the members, informing them of authors who are interested in a book review, so potential reviewers can look on the bookshelf and in the discussion board, to see if there are any books that they are willing to review. Let’s have fun! Thank You and God Bless. ...more
