My latest book, Miracles & Moments of Grace: Inspiring Stories of Survival (Leafwood, 2014) shares uplifting stories from dozens of ordinary people who have triumphed over extraordinary circumstances. It is the fourth book in the Miracles & Moments of Grace series, following Inspiring Stories from Moms, Inspiring Stories from Doctors and Inspiring Stories from Military Chaplains. I have also authored a book of weight loss success stories, How We Did It: Weight Loss Choices That Will Work for You (Leafwood, 2012). In it, I tell thirty stories of personal weight loss success and examines the many paths people took to success -- every weight loss plan you can imagine, from Atkins to the Zone.My two children's books, Make It, Shake It, Mix It Up (Concordia, 2007) and Even the Sound Waves Obey Him (Concordia, 2005), pair simple science activities with biblical stories of faith, forty-four stories in each book. For many years, I was a financial writer for magazines and newspapers, including the online Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, and for companies in the financial services industry, including Merrill Lynch. Before that, I edited the Wall Street Journal and Barron's for a Dow Jones financial data service. I also write articles and personal essays for books and magazines, including the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, many of which you can read at my website www.nancybkennedy.com.
