About the Author
Abbie was born in the large state of Rhode Island, and grew-up in Atlanta, Georgia,
where she attended Catholic High School and eventually went on to play tennis at Emory University.
Through the influence of friends, she was introduced to a relationship with God during her freshman
year. Long-story short (though it was pretty short), Abbie haphazardly ended-up compiling a book to
this end, which released soon after her graduation in 2003. She’s gone on to write a follow-up
Study Guide and an updated edition of her first book. With personal involvements in ministry, local
church and missionary roles across the world, Abbie brings a wide array of interests to the table.
She’s worked on various fronts with Passion Conferences and is currently doing a Masters in
Spiritual Formation in Los Angeles. Abbie’s schedule entails “life as a student,”
as well as writing and speaking as she’s able. Her ideal day entails being with friends, or
sipping a (soy) latte in the mountains, at the ocean, or in the corner of a local coffee shop.
