Jayna Coppedge

Jayna Coppedge’s first memory is walking into the church nursery as a toddler; so it isn’t surprising she made going to church her career.

As a children’s minister, she used analogies, stories, and simple words for complex ideas. Whether it is parenting or the Bible that Jayna is teaching, her goal is life application. Readers feel that they know her; because she writes like she talks: honest, funny, vulnerable, and passionate.

In her book “Discovering God through Elijah and Elisha” she refused to settle for the trite. Instead:

* Teaches the new Christian how to use the Bible to interpret the Bible.

* Proves that God’s character and personality are displayed in every Bible passage.

* Demonstrates how to find and apply Biblical principles in modern life.

* Explains Biblical culture, the importance of even the less known passages, and God’s consistency throughout both Testaments.

* Expands the Bible knowledge of the mature Christian.

Special themes in the book include:

* How do I know if God is speaking to me?

* Why don’t I see God at work in my life and the lives of my friends?

* How can I recognize Satan’s deceptive whispers?

* Does faith mean going against common sense?

* How can God be both loving and wrathful?

* Can I really trust God to meet my needs?

* How can I choose the best version and Bible style for me?

In her book “Parenting With the End in Mind” She asks, “What is your heart’s desire for your child at age 22?” Then she gives practical guidance as to how to develop the character, skills, and values that the parent desires. Containing 20 discipline techniques, parents find creative memorable ways to guide their children without using anger or shame. Emphasizing the importance of accepting their child as a unique creation of God, parents are urged to go to God for the best way to mold each one.
