Success means different things to different people. When I first dreamed of being a novelist, I was reading authors like Danielle Steel and Nora Roberts. I remember when I was pregnant with my daughter, who is now 32, I read an article about Danielle Steel. She had seven children at the time, and had a full-time nanny so she could …
Interview With Jennifer Sienes
Okay, I’ll admit, it’s a little strange to interview myself! However, since it’s the 4th of July, I figure there won’t be a lot of traffic on my blog or Facebook. Y’all should be out enjoying the holiday. But, in case you’re here and interested, I’m ready! What is my most recent book or project? I’m glad you asked! I …

Don’t Stay Mired in the Muck!
I’ve read the book of Jonah multiple times on my own and I’ve studied it with a women’s study group. It seems like a simple story of a prophet who doesn’t like what God asks him to do (“Arise, go to Nineveh the great city and cry against it, for their wickedness has come before Me.” 1:2) So, Jonah decides …

Words
Words. They have the power to do incredible things—uplift, inspire, encourage, teach, preach, soothe. The list is endless. Of course, they have the power to do the opposite of these things, as well, but I want to focus on the positive. As a writer, words are as necessary as breathing. When put with other words, they can create story. I …

Any Stress in Your Life?
How do you deal with stress? I’ve been through my fair share, and I have to admit, I haven’t always dealt with it in a godly way. I would either strong-arm it and push through, pretending everything was okay (while not sleeping, not eating and sniping at unsuspecting victims) or I would talk about it ad nauseam to anyone unfortunate …
Battle-Grounds
Over the weekend, my husband and I saw the movie War Room. We weren’t sure what the theme was, but we’d heard it was a very good Christian film. Much to our surprise, Priscilla Shirer played the lead character. In case you’re unaware of who she is, Priscilla is an inspiring speaker, author and women’s Bible study teacher. But who …
