When Dr. RoseAnne Coleman speaks, she helps women find their place in the story of God. “I don’t come as the expert,” she says. “I tell you about what hasn’t worked in my life. I tell you about what Jesus has done and continues to do for me.” Although she could explain the Greek and Hebrew meanings of passages, she likes to simplify the scriptures for ordinary people. Since there is so much in the Bible that people can understand, she wants to help them grasp it and apply it to their daily lives. She is committed to the belief that her students can find joy in the journey of faith.

As a former high school and middle school English teacher, she has mastered keeping the attention of an audience. In addition to her speeches at conferences, conventions and retreats, she regularly teaches Tuesday women’s Bible studies at Fellowship Bible Church in Brentwood, TN. Dr. Coleman is the author of “Moment by Moment: Touching the Face of God.” She also recorded “Pretty Good Music,” including songs she has written. Along with her book and music album, she offers two CD teaching series, “The Sermon on the Mount” and “The Words in Red.”

Kim’s Keynote (Session 2)

"And She Laughed" Genesis 21:6

Don't you love laughter? The kind of laugh that comes from the belly? The kind of laugh that comes through the nose? You know, the snorting kind of laugh! The chuckle; the wheezing, can't-catch-your-breath kind of laugh! And then there's the kind of laugh that often comes only after weeping. Sarah, Abe's wife laughed and wants all of us to laugh with her. Come on! We're going to howl with delight. I know Sarah did!

You've heard of gospel music... Well, Sharon Ewell Foster writes bestselling, award-winning gospel novels! One of them is titled ­Ain’t No Mountain! We couldn’t do this weekend without her!

Sharon was discovered at Sandy Cove’s own Christian Writers’ Conference! She has contributed to Tavis Smiley’s ‘Keeping the Faith, to the Women of Color Devotional Bible’, and is a regular ‘Daily Guideposts’ contributor. Her achievements include: the Christy Award, the Gold Pen Award, the Romantic Times Award for Best Inspirational, BookList starred reviews and places on the CBA and Essence Bestseller Lists. Sharon also ghostwrote a NYT bestselling novel. Her next novel, ‘The Resurrection of Nat Turner’ releases early 2011 (Simon and Schuster).

Foster's books combine insight, faith, and literary style. As Bishop T.D. Jakes says, "To me, she is one of America's best-kept secrets-but not for long! Sharon writes for those of us who want more than just words on a page, but pictures painted on the canvasses of our minds. She has proven to be 'the Picasso of the pen!"

In books filled with adventure, mystery, hope and laughter, Foster speaks the truth about real-life situations with love. All this is set to poetic rhythms that stir the soul and get the heart pumping, "I'm a spiritual person. I stopped trying to hide it," says Foster. Her books speak to African-American traditions, yet resound with universal themes.
