Ginger is an engaging storyteller who has done an excellent job sharing the amazing adventures she has had in her life to illustrate her passion for an awareness of the wonder we too often miss. I believe reading her book will give you a new hunger for more adventure in your own life and lead you in practical steps you can take to get there. The book is well written; it will make you laugh in some places and perhaps cry in others. It will also help to bring you closer to God.
Joyce Meyer
The thing I love most about Ginger is that her genuine and kind spirit is always radiating joy. In this book shell take you on a journey through her own experiences and teach you how to cultivate a mind-set of adventure and joy in your own life. A fulfilling life of adventure starts with having an identity rooted in Christ, so Ginger not only shares biblical wisdom but also provides practical checklists and tools for you to move towards living a life full of awe and wonder.

Gods story is the biggest WOW factor ever, and Chasing Wonder will help guide you into taking the greatest adventure of your life.
