Introduction Amanda is a Christ-follower, wife, minister, and writer living in the Chicago area. She grew up in coastal North Carolina and is proud of her roots. She is passionate about seeing people connect to Christ, empowered to follow their life's passion, and reclaim their identity in Christ. She is discovering more fully the beauty, vibrance, and love that is possible through authentic community. When she's not pursuing writing or ministry, she loves listening to music (especially hearing her husband sing), reading, cooking, traveling and taking in God's magnificent creation, and getting to know people from different cultures and places of the world.

Favorite Movies Inspirational, Funny, Clean and Witty. I'm a sucker for romantic comedies and even like sports/action movies and the occasional drama if it makes me think or inspires me to dream. I don't like weepy movies too often (save the Lifetime dramas for somebody else) and I won't watch movies with too much gore or violence or foul language or sexuality. Some of my favorites: Pride & Prejudice, You've Got Mail, Amazing Grace, 27 Dresses, etc.
