More from Rosann

40 Days to God, My Father was born out of a difficult season with my pastor-father’s struggle with substance abuse. As I walked through the painful circumstances with my earthly father, I found myself grappling with trusting God as a good Father. I sensed the Lord inviting me on a journey to know Him as my One True Father. It was through reading the Scriptures––where I saw the Lord’s character revealed––prayer, and reflection that I found my trust restored.

I want to share the same truths I found with others who may be doubting the goodness of the Lord. Assuredly, He is the perfect Father each of us desperately needs. I pray readers will come away from the book knowing that He is faithful, loving, and kind.

Author Interview

What is your favorite genre of books? Why? 

I enjoy both nonfiction and fiction. I find nonfiction inspires my faith, gives instruction, and reminds me that I’m not alone in my struggles. It’s always good to read an authentic story of transformation.

I also love reading fiction with a little (or a lot) of mystery involved. I keep audiobooks on loan from my local library and, on average, listen to one book per week. Because I’m such a deep thinker, fiction is a way for me to break up my thought patterns in a constructive way. I enjoy trying to figure out how it will end.

Are you a one project at a time author or do you have multiple projects going at once?

I tend to have multiple short form projects going because sometimes inspiration for an article or devotion comes spontaneously. I may start that project and then turn back to another one. Also, sometimes I get stuck while I’m working on a piece and I find it’s helpful to jump into a different idea that I’ve already started. This gives my brain a break and helps me come back to the piece with fresh eyes.

As far as longer projects like books, I need to focus on one at a time. I only have so much time and brainpower to devote to it, so I need to make it count. Otherwise I may never complete it.

How has your life experience helped in your writing journey?

I’ve endured hard seasons filled with pain, longing, and despair. It was in these times that I found the Lord’s goodness, faithfulness, and presence. I would say that these experiences are the reason I write. For example, my book 40 Days to God, My Father was born out of a difficult season when my pastor-father developed a dependency on medication and I found myself struggling to trust the Lord’s goodness. After spending time in the Word, prayer, and reflection, I learned God is the perfect Father who never fails, falters, or forgets. I want to share this truth with others who need encouragement.

Where do you find your greatest inspiration?

I find my greatest inspiration in reading. Reading the Bible, devotionals, and even inspirational fiction sparks ideas, reveals truths to share, and helps me find ways to express words in a meaningful way. My desire in writing is to always spread a Christ-centered message of hope with each word I pen.

Who is your favorite author? Why?

This is a tough question for me to answer because many authors have inspired me over the years. But if I have to choose one, it would be Elisabeth Elliot. I discovered her writing in my college days and continued to read her works. I appreciated her vulnerability, willingness to tackle painful topics, and ultimately point to Christ as our source for every need. She was not only a talented writer, but a wonderful encourager. I desire to do the same.
