Christin’s

Books

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’ve been a professional freelance writer for almost thirty years! In addition to hundreds of columns, essays, magazine articles, blog posts, and gospel tracts, I’ve had the privilege of writing more than 80 books in a wide variety of genres — for children and adults.

Most of these books can be found at your library, local bookstore, or favorite online retailer. (A few are out of print — check Ebay!) Keep scrolling for a look at some featured books, followed by a complete list.
