About Me

---

My name is Olivia Jones. I love God with all my heart, and I'm passionate about sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. I have designed and facilitated Bible studies for adult and teen ministries for over 30 years. I have written books as I felt led by God and am sharing them with a broader audience that hopefully includes you. (smile) 

I serve my local church in the Chicagoland area in several capacities. My husband, Anthony, is the Senior Pastor, so I am all in on serving God's kingdom and helping our church and ministries thrive. In addition to being a wife, I am a daughter, a mother, a grandmother, a sister, an aunt, and a committed servant of God.

I recently retired from a fulfilling career in financial services. I earned a BA in Liberal Arts from DePaul University and an MBA from Dalhousie University. I have been a student of the Bible for as long as I can remember. I feel honored to serve you through my work. 

Currently, I am helping to facilitate a 2-year, chronological read through the Bible with members of my church. It is off to a wonderful start, and I enjoy studying with this amazing group.

I am also completing the marketing activities for my new release, Lessons from Eden. I enjoyed writing this book and I look forward to sharing it.  Please pray with me that God will be glorified and that His purpose and plan will be fulfilled.

In addition to reading through the Old Testament with my church, I am actively reading three books. (Yes, it's taking me a long time, but I'm progressing. 😊)

Non-fiction:

Amusing Ourselves To Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business

by Neil Postman

(very insightful)

The God Who Hears

40-Day Devotional

by James Merritt

(excellent)

Fiction:

Housebroken

by Leslie J. Sherrod

(enjoying it)

I like nonfiction books that strengthen my faith and/or increase my knowledge. I also enjoy fiction books that make me laugh and/or take me on an engaging journey.

Feel free to post your book recommendations on the Olivia Jones Books Facebook page.
