Farther Along: The Writing Journey of Thirteen Bereaved Mothers
Farther Along – the book We wrote the book we wish we had found when our children died – fourteen of them, between us. It tells the stories of our individual losses. It also tells the bigger story of our group that came together in 2003 for a one-day writing workshop with Carol Henderson, and how we have been writing together ever since. It includes written pieces from each of us.
Farther Along – the blog This is where you can find more about our group, some writing we continue to share, and events some of us host on writing.

Adult Reflection Guides for Follow Me: Biblical Practices for Faithful Living. This curriculum is based on practices Jesus did and taught us to do as faithful followers. Written for people of all ages who wish to live out their faith, the series examines where these practices are found in the Bible and how they have been used in the Christian faith then and now. I’ve written Adult Reflection Guides for several units. Mine that are available now: Baptize, Practice Spiritual Disciplines, Forgive, and Love God, Neighbor and Enemy. Coming soon: Make Disciples. The Adult Reflection Guide is a workbook and journal for adults with study, reflection questions, space for writing or drawing, and suggestions for practicing the practice.
Reflection Questions for Our Hearts Wait: Worshiping through Praise and Lament in the Psalms. This newly-released volume of previously-published work by Walter Brueggemann examines the rich language of the psalms as a transformational dialogue with God that helps us enact what we also proclaim. I wrote the questions that accompany each chapter, making it ideal for individual and group study.
I’ve written for These Days: Devotions for Daily Living, and have two upcoming quarters of study coming for The Present Word, an in-depth Bible Study for adults. Look for my studies in Spring 2024 and Winter 2025-26.
