Teri Duke

Born and raised in northern Idaho is considered a rarity by Idaho standards. Teri is native to the panhandle of this beautiful state. She and Mike, here husband of thirty-four years, have raised four children who love and serve Jesus. They now enjoy the reward of six beautiful grandchildren.

Getting married after completing one year of college, Teri claims she got her MRS degree and immediately majored in family. Always in pursuit of learning she poured all she knew, and would continue to learn, into training up her children to fear and serve the Lord.

Teri has served vocally in choirs and worship teams, directed a children’ music and drama ministry, has been a substitute teacher, and supervised her own children’s primary education.

Today, Teri is still learning and educating, and serves as the principal of a small Christian school, a ministry of her local church. She is passionate about speaking life into young and old alike, helping them to grasp their God-given identity and purpose, and equipping them to “fight the good fight.”

Crooks and Nannies is Teri’s first book. It has been an act of obedience to God who, when He finds a servant who is faithful in the small things, gives increase. That being said, look for future works from this first-time author.
