Shawna Renee Bound Atteberry is a writer, storyteller, speaker, and theologian. She empowers women who have been silenced and suppressed by a religious tradition. She believes the best way to do this is to tell the stories of the women in the Bible. She tell their stories on her blog, and other sites, as well as the book she is currently working on, Career Women of the Bible. She also speaks about women in the Bible and women in religion and spirituality. Her goal is to give women a voice in their religious traditions and use their spiritual and leadership gifts. She is also an associate editor with The Christian Godde Project: Exploring the Divine Feminine Within the Christian Godde. The Christian Godde Project is translating the New Testament using Divinine Feminine images for Godde.
For six years she was an assistant editor for the daily devotional, Reflecting God: Devotions for Holy Living, and then she was an associate editor for the adult Sunday School Curriculum line, Faith Connections. She has also written for various Christian publications including Christians for Biblical Equality’s Mutuality and the youth magazine, Credo. The websites she has posted on include Street Prophets and The Scroll.
Shawna lives in Chicago with her husband Tracy. Her pastoral experience includes assistant pastor for college/young adult ministry, associate pastor of adults, senior pastor, and cross cultural ministry. She is a member of Grace Episcopal Church.
In addition to writing devotions, Sunday School sessions, and sermons, Shawna also writes short stories and poems. She is currently working on her first book proposal, Career Women of the Bible.
