God's Will for Your Shoes
As an active participant in Bible Study Fellowship, Nancy loves digging into God’s Word and sharing it with others. She has valued the strong Christian influence of her family, and she accepted the Lord as her Savior when she was young.
Over the years, strong Biblical teaching and ministry opportunities, both in the U.S. and overseas, have allowed Nancy to see the Lord at work in lives of women of diverse backgrounds. Drawing upon her training as an English, speech and drama teacher, she looks for creative ways to bring spiritual truths to life.

2019 Following Jesus:
through the storms, the doubt, and the seas
Alaskan fisherwoman Leslie Leyland Fields from Kodiak led us across time and culture to dive into the gospels beside ragtag fisherman-disciples, to the Sea of Galilea, as they followed Jesus. As a commercial salmon fisherwoman and mother of six, her fresh insights helped us discover what it means to "Come, follow me."
Leslie Leyland Fields is an award-winning author, a national speaker, and a popular radio guest. "As we follow after Jesus, he's going to rock our boat. Count on it."
