Jessi Colund RennekampWho Am I? -Sunday school coordinator: The idea for these books were born out of my volunteer position as a curriculum/volunteer coordinator for a Sunday school class at my church. It was difficult to find quality resources telling certain stories - epecially those of women and girls in the Bible. Since I couldn't find what I was looking for, I decided to write these books myself! -Mom of two littles: My first priority as a mom is for my two kids to know that Jesus loves them and for them to want to follow him all the days of their lives. One of the ways I try to share his love with them is by reading high-quality, engaging books about Bible stories and themes. Even though these stories took place "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away," I want them to be able to see themselves in these stories. -Word lover: I have loved words, books, and narratives for as long as I can remember. I majored in English literature in college, went on to earn a Master of Arts in publishing and writing, and am now a professional communications & social impact consultant for biotech and life sciences organizations. My current role means I frequently translate complex high science for a layperson audience - which comes in handy when writing about theology and ancient history for children! -Entrepreneur: I took a leap of faith, leaving my job as head of communications at a rare disease-focused biotech company in order to become a full-time independent consultant. Though initially scary, this decision paved the way for me to have the space to devote significant time and energy into my writing - something I've felt God call me to do for a long time.
