       About Jennifer Hallmark

Jennifer and husband Danny

Jennifer Hallmark is a writer and women’s ministry consultant. She has established women’s ministry groups at two local churches and works in a consulting capacity for them.

First and foremost, however, is her love of writing. She is well-published on the internet with over 160 articles in circulation. Check out her website at www.jenniferhallmark.com. Her first novel, Journey of Grace: A New Beginning is currently in the hands of a potential publisher with her second in the series in edits. A novella and two non-fiction books, one on women’s ministry organization and one on unity in the Church await a publishing home.

Jennifer has been a contributing writer for brandlady.com magazine with her series of articles called Marriage 101. She also has been published in Harpstring Magazine.  Her Blog  keeps her busy. 

Jennifer resides with her husband Danny in Alabama. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends, finding new coffee shops, and is an avid reader.

A little more about me…I have been writing forever it seems but decided to pursue writing as a career six years ago, taking community and online classes to hone my skills. Five years of writing, editing, and publishing a church newsletter, and eleven years in women’s ministry have given me invaluable experience and more than a few stories. I love stories. There is no better way to connect with people than combining the Word of God with a story or parable.

Twenty-nine years of marriage, a beautiful daughter, sweet son-in-law, son in college along with his beautiful wife, and two precious granddaughters complete my life. If I wrote twenty-four hours a day for the rest of my time on earth, I could never give enough to God to repay Him for all He has done for me. The wonderful thing is that He doesn’t ask me to pay him. What a God we serve!
