• Authored three books:

  • How Do You Know He's Real: Celebrity Reflections on True Life Experiences with God (April 2006). The first in a planned three-book series, it is a collection of testimonies from well-known athletes, musicians and actors on how they know God is real.  Developed with seekers in mind, this collection shares Christ in a very real and relevant way for those who may be alienated from or disinterested in traditional churches. 

  • The second book in the series, How Do You Know He’s Real:  God Unplugged (Nov. 2006) is geared for teens and young adults.  It is a collection of profound real-life journeys and dramatic encounters with the living God by young athletes and musicians. Being famous doesn’t make their lives perfect; these celebrities still struggle with the same issues that most young people deal with... insecurity, anger, peer pressure, addiction and self-esteem. Whether they are Olympic gold medalists, recording artists, professional athletes or extreme sports fanatics, these young stars share very personal stories.

  • My Favorite Christmas (Nov. 2006)takes you back in time to savor your own favorite moments surrounding the Christmas season as you catch glimpses into the humorous, lighthearted, and spiritually poignant memories of some of your favorite personalities from all walks of life, including actors, athletes, musicians, politicians, and authors.  It will inspire you with down-to-earth and heavenly stories that provide you with a moment to reflect on what matters most - the joys of faith and family - amidst the rush and hustle of the Yule season.

• Speaks at churches all over the country.

• Member of the Evangelical Press Association and served as a judge in their 2007 and 2008 Awards of Excellence.

• Co-editor of the Author’s Co-op, an online community of writers and involved in writer’s groups too numerous to mention. 

A life-long resident of Minnesota, Amy lives in a lakeside log home in the woods of Buffalo with her husband of over 23 years and their two teenage children. She is the director of the drama ministry, and co-facilitates a small group with her husband.
