Jacqueline Jane Overpeck is a former editorial aid and marketing assistant for Strang Communications, Charisma Magazine. She’s multi-published as a contributing writer to her hometown newspaper, worked as an advertising executive, copywriter, research associate, Web editor and registrar for Christian Writers Institute. She and her husband, Arnold, are CLASS (Christian Leaders, Authors, and Speakers Services) graduates. Jacqueline’s writing has appeared on the Web sites of Christian Women Today, Power to Change and Christian Broadcasting Network among others. When asked about her passion for media, she shares an encounter she had in prayer. “As I was seeking the Lord, I said, ‘God, I want to know you more.’ I sensed his reply. ‘Then you want to know people more because there’s a part of my own heart in every person I’ve created.’” Says Jacqueline, “It’s a privilege to share the love of Jesus through communications. Henry Blackaby's book Experiencing God states that we are partners with God, fulfilling His plan in the earth. I believe God's plans for our lives were established before we were born. All that we must do is yield to the Holy Spirit. When you’re in step with Jesus (Romans 8), the cares and worries of this world fade away.” Visit Jacqueline at www.AuthorJackieO.com.
