About the Author
I write books. I embarrass my kids. I was once a mime. (True story) . I attend a small country church where some Sundays you'll find me spinning tunes as the church deejay.I'm a big fan of dark chocolate, emojis, eighties music, bright lipstick, and Netflix binges. My husband and I are raising crops, pigs, a herd of cats, and two beautiful humans on the Lee family farm in Iowa.My next book, Growing Slow, releases in May 2021. A companion Bible study will also be available. My other books: It's All Under Control, The Happiness Dare, and Love Idol. I'm a journalist at heart. I used to cover crime, politics, and natural disasters as a news reporter for metropolitan daily newspapers. Now, I use my reporting skills to chase after the biggest story ever: the redemptive story of Christ. (That's front-page news.) I cling to the hope of a cross, and I'm passionate about sharing the Good News through story. I believe in miracles; I am one. I marvel at God's unrelenting grace for stumbling sinners like me, who have been made whole through Christ. I believe in scandalous grace, and that the cross is the most priceless and costly gift the world has ever seen. I believe that it really is all because of Jesus.Connect with me online at my website (www.JenniferDukesLee.com) or on any of these social media platforms:Facebook.com/JenniferDukesLeeTwitter.com/dukesleeInstagram.com/jenniferdukeslee
