Anyone beginning a walk with God has the intention of finishing well. Traps and pitfalls challenge that goal, and some are turned aside despite their intentions to keep going all the way to the end. Start to Finish offers a sort of field guide for building into our walk with God the characteristics that can help us go the distance and finish strong.
Susan's Story
Susan Jenkins blogs, writes books, and shares podcasts from rural Mississippi, living back on the very soil where she had grown up enjoying her walks in the woods and savoring God’s glorious Creation. Many twists and turns in life filled the years she was away: paths that brought her heart into a faith she’d never imagined, before bringing her back to her childhood roots.
After a career in the human services field, early retirement opened the door for Susan to help establish the Christian school ministry of First Pentecostal Church in Bay Springs and enjoy a part-time second career in home health medical social work. It was during this phase she began to pursue her growing passion to turn life experiences into preserved observations through the written word. She works from the premise that writing what others see and feel, but are often unable to voice, serves a purpose in the lives of those who read.
Susan enjoys savoring the life God has entrusted to her in the beautiful corner of the South she is blessed to call home.
