Sarah Coleman is an Australian author and communicator. She lives with her husband and two boys, in Queensland, Australia. Sarah loves life and is passionate about her faith in Jesus Christ.
Sarah grew up in Australia. She became a Christian at the age of eight after being told she was going to hell! Shortly afterwards, the rest of her family gave their lives to Jesus, when her mother was healed of a life-threatening disease. Her parents became associate pastors and even contemplated moving to Japan as missionaries.
Sarah attended a local Christian school where she developed a love of writing. After being advised that there was little money in the profession, she studied a science degree and then a diploma in Education. Sarah has been a teacher for sixteen years.
In 1996, Sarah helped her parents plant a new church. One year later, she became the youth pastor at that church, and served in youth ministry for over ten years. Sarah has been part of the leadership team of Youth Alive Queensland and Red Frogs Australia. She also won various awards for her contribution to the local community.
Sarah met her husband in 2006, and married in 2007. Together they are associate pastors and minister side by side.
Now, Sarah loves being a mother of young boys and all the adventure that entails. She is blessed with a wonderful husband, supportive family, and amazing friends.
Sarah writes an encouraging and uplifting blog, published on this site weekly. She has authored three books, Single Christian Female, Make Yourself Amazing, and most recently, Expecting Daily Pregnancy Devotion. Sarah writes with honesty and openness. She is challenging, encouraging, and at times confronting.
Together: A Journey Of Godly Marriage by Sarah Coleman is the inspiring story of the author's journey from lonely single life to happily married after. In this candid read, we get glimpses into the author's life; like what her life was like before she met her soulmate, as she walks you through her courtship (starting with that imperfect, but memorable first date), and what her blissful married life entails. There's also highlights of special times, dates, and romantic trips, all while touching on various scriptures and stories from the word of God. I especially found fascinating the meaning of the Hebrew word, ‘Qarah’, and the author’s enlightening take on it. The story skips around a bit, with the message always leading to the light of God’s love and His will for marriage.
The friendly style of Together had me feeling welcome from page one. By the book’s end, I felt like I’d sat down and had a cup of coffee (well, tea for me) with Sarah Coleman while I listened to her go over some of the finer points of marriage, like how she enjoys the hot brew with her husband every morning as a beloved way of connecting with him each day. She offers lots of tips and Godly advice for all married couples, from the newlywed to those celebrating their twenty-fifth year. And this book is a celebration of the institution of marriage. Sarah Coleman honors it with her words and in her own married life. Her message is short, sweet and to the point, making it the perfect bridal shower or anniversary gift.
