Hello Karen,
What an absolute delight to discover your web site. Your books and the times I was honored to hear you, stirred in me such a love for our Lord. You have been instrumental in helping me on my spiritual growth path and aided me with my children and grandchildren- through your children's books, "Tales of the Kingdom"
I will never forget the privilege of hearing you speak years ago at "Oasis" the Northwest Women's Conference. My cousin, Rubena Poole began the Oasis conferences through a prompting she received through the 47th chapter, 12th verse of Ezekiel. She was very precious to me. Do you remember her? God gave to her the vision for Oasis. Rubena's daughter, Dottie is hosting a family reunion the end of this month. I was wondering if by any chance you could share a little something about your meeting Rubena...It would be such a lovely addition to the reunion. She passed away a few years ago. Her journey was described as being quite remarkable and so like Rubena. She was truly a remarkable woman of God. Thank you for your influence in so many lives........With Tender Regards, Brenda |

Karen, Karen!
I was so pleased to find you online recently. From a distance, you have inspired me all my adult life and still do. Your books remain on my shelf. I have very fond memories, as a young pastor's wife, of hearing you speak on Thetis Island (I believe) off the NorthWest Coast a few decades ago. Thank you for your continued honesty, your beautiful spirit, and your pop-up-again pluck. What I see is a woman of God, stumbling through life's wilderness in the best way she knows how, determined, as I am, to find beauty in brokenness and share it with others. Life's pirates don't have to have their pernicious way with our spirits--but my gracious, don't they try, sister? |

Dear Karen, This is my second attempt at a message to you. I'm using a friend's computer and somehow a partial message flew off into cyberspace! Anyway, I wanted to tell you that years ago I worked in a Christian bookstore and sold (and read) your earlier works. I quit work, went back to college as an adult. Life and many years intervened. Yesterday I saw "Open Heart Open Home" at Goodwill and wondered what you were doing now. I had visions of the rich author's life...but was curious. Through the miracle of google, I found you! And, surprise!, you live in the same world that I do! The world of dependence on our loving Heavenly Father. I have nothing but Social Security. No car, no retirement, no home (I rotate living with my children and brother) no insurance. Everyday is an adventure, a new discovery of how He will meet and exceed my needs! I am content.
Thanks for being real! I love you!

Karen! I hope you remember me from our pilgrimage to Spain back in 2003. I'm sorry I didn't manage to maintain contact in the past seven(!) years, but I've been thinking about you a lot recently for a couple reasons. Not the least of which is that I'm moving much closer to Chicago: I'll be starting my PhD in Renaissance English Literature at the University of Notre Dame in August, and I'll be living in South Bend for at least the next 5-6 years. I'm also have a Confirmation coming up May 22, and every time I hear people talk about St Teresa of Avila or St John of the Cross I think of you. I hope we'll have time to catch up when I move to Indiana!
May the peace of Christ be yours in abundance,
Emily |

Updated: I read through the rest of the comments and saw that Randall gave the link to your blog. You might consider making the word 'blog' on your HOME page clickable. Thanks!
Karen,
A dear friend gave me a copy of FRIENDS AND STRANGERS in 1991, but I'm only now reading it. Feel like I'm unearthing buried treasure. You have a wonderful way with words; what a relief that you don't write in cliched Christianspeak.
Your HOME page mentions a blog, but I can't find it here on your Web site. I'd like to read your blog. Can you provide the link?
Thanks. |

Karen,
I just read your book, How to Make Sunday Special and it was exactly
what God has been prompting in me...I praise God for it. Northern California
is going to greatly benefit from it (kingdom wise!!).
God bless you.

Hi Karen,
I was wondering what you were doing now--I love your book The Fragile Curtain--I worked in a refugee camp from '84-'85 in Thailand and there in the YWAM house where I lived, I found that book. I also think about how you started an Arts celebration at your church and I just started painting a couple of years ago and now have started an "Artist Fellowship" at my church--could use some more input, though! I really like your writing style! Recently found "Karen! Karen!" in my church's library and am jumping around in it (my style).
My last of three kids is almost fully "baked"--I'm starting to feel old! What should I read? |

Hello! I found your Tales of the Kingdom books at a friend's house, and I can't even tell you how much they mean to me! I guess they were meant for children, but I'm 25. :) This is what I've always hoped Christianity really was, and now I know without a doubt that this is who Jesus is. -the loving older brother and friend, and at the same time King of all. How wonderful it is to know that he wants us to be like children with him, free to enjoy his Love for us. He never desired people to relate to him out of fear of punishment! Our relationship with him is a never-ending Romance!
I thank Jesus for your books. He blessed me so much through them! I love you and look forward to meeting you in Heaven!!! In love with Jesus, Ashley |
