Family, Faith, and Food
Author and speaker Karen Whiting shares from her heart to bring creativity, truth, and inspiration to her readers. She shares her messages through her sixteen books for women, families, and children plus hundreds of articles, media appearances, and speaking engagements.
I love to let creativity splash on the pages I write. I desire to help you develop strong relationships with your family and God and to live more joyfully. Check out videos of my TV appearances and my numerous upcoming book releases. It’s a pleasure to connect with my 
readers, so please join me on Facebook, Pinterest, or Twitter. I will soon be signing a contract for another family devotional. This one will focus on families who impact lives (or deire to do so).
My book The One Year My Princess Devotions won the Christian Retailer Best Awards, children's nonfiction category, for the year of release. These are books the retailers believe have a great impact. Hopefully as Christians we impact lives, including our children’s lives.
I love to cook, especially breads. My new book Gift of Bread includes recipes, heart warming stores around bread, and insights into bread in the Bible. It’s a book that’s been on my heart for a long time. Jesus is the Bread of Life and I’m thankful for His gift of living bread. Check out a video on making muffin bouquets, a great way to include bread on your table. See more videos on my youtube channel.
Time flies by so fast! I started a weekly FB live and currently I’m sharing bread baking. I made my basic biscuits (recipe in my book thanks to my friend Mona for sharing it) and started sharing several ways to use the one recipe. The dough can be made a head and refrigerated. I prefer to use it within 10 days, but keepingit a little linger gives it a sour dough taste since the yeast ferments longer.
I’m finishing up the certification to a be a writing/marketing coach and starting to write a course on bread making for homschoolers.
I’ll be at the Montrose Christian Writers Conference in July teaching on marketing, devoitional writing, and more. I’ll also spend a week at the beach in Connecticut near family with my middle son and his family. That’s a time to get back to my roots and see family and friends.
Fall Fun and Festivities
This fall I will be out and about with my books at various events. It will e fun to engage with people and be in the community. I’ll be at an olive oil and vinegar (From Oil and Grapes)store with my bread book, a Christian book store (The Faith and Home Store)where I’ll demo baking, some book fairs, Christmas bazaars, and inside amall for an author showcase (Indian River Mall in Vero).
As people shop for Christmas gifts, I hope they consider books since those are lsting gifts. Books open our imaginations to new thoughts and reflections as well as new experiences.
I just cmpleted my 26th book that will release next summer! IT’ a family devotional focusing on families who serve others.
