She has spent the past decade working in various ministry capacities including as an outreach pastor, pastoral care member, lay counselor, and ministry leadership coach/trainer. From her professional experience as an entrepreneur, founder, editor in chief, president, and chief executive officer, she has written ideas and from those ideas along with biblical principals created organizations in the media publication, consulting, ministry, and transportation/logistics sectors. The subjects of Christian entrepreneurship and discipleship have also been the focus of Dr. Rooks' academic research, numerous scholarly writings, and publications.
Dr. Rooks loves spending time with God, her husband, daughter's, grandson, kingdom writers, reading books, playing her flute, writing the bible by hand, and traveling. By sharing her knowledge, passion, and love of writing, she hopes to inspire Kingdom Writer’s to recognize the power of their gift to write in order to expand the kingdom.
What a honor and privilege it is to be a pen in the hand of the Creator.
