About Shannan Martin
Iβm a mom, wife, and neighbor in Goshen, Indiana.
Iβm a voracious reader, a wannabe-gardener, a news-geek, a thrift store-stalker, a justice-fighter, and an aficionado of not-too-spicy salsa. Iβm also an author (Start with Hello, The Ministry of Ordinary Places, and Falling Free) and a cook at a soup kitchen. I fall asleep most nights thinking about breakfast.
Once a month, I send out a free issue of The Soup. Itβs usually on the topic of Jesus, food, or community. (Most likely, a combination of all three.)
