Shelly's husband teases that "Made in Taiwan" is stamped on the bottom of her foot. She grew up in a missionary home with a passion for God and evangelism. That continues to this day. Shelly longs to encourage women to find out who God is and what difference He can make in their daily life. She does that through prayer mentoring encouraging writing and speaking in English and Spanish. Shelly has written Holy Habits: A Woman's Guide to Intentional Living with her prayer partner Mimi Wilson. She also wrote Kitchen Table Counseling with her mother Muriel Cook.
