living the dream with author Lauren Nelson

Send us Fan MailLauren Nelson is a mother of two and the wife of a pastor. She has a Religion degree from Pacific Lutheran University and 20+ years of ministry experience with children, teens, and adults. Lauren authored a children's book entitled, SHEROES of the Bible, and is passionate about sharing the stories of these heroic women to inspire young and old with the faith that overcame their fears. “Mom, I have a question: Does God think boys are more important than girls, because all we ever learn about in church are boys?” This was the question her 7-year-old daughter asked me that led her to write SHEROES of the Bible. Many have heard of the remarkable men in scripture but lesser known are the dynamic women who trusted God and did astonishingly courageous things when they chose faith over fear. Fear has always been Laurens greatest foe . She was sexually abused as a child, which formed a spirit of fear in her life that only Jesus could free her from. Because of her childhood trauma, Lauren has a deep passion and desire to minister to children and women who have been abused. Lauren knows that her book, SHEROES of the Bible will help women and children on their journey to conquering their fears and learning to intimately trust their Father in Heaven, who loves them and who alone can heal their hearts.
