A Note from Abby


Hi, I’m Abigail! I write, sing, and tell true stories—stories about faith, hope, and the amazing way God makes beauty from ashes.

Much of my life has been spent cross-culturally, listening to stories from people whose voices might not otherwise be heard. I love sharing these stories with you!

That’s why I wrote my memoir, Hidden Song of the Himalayas, and my upcoming historical narrative, Beyond a Thousand Shadows—to bring powerful and vulnerable true stories to life. I hope reading them is like stepping into a novel, immersing yourself in diverse places and interesting lives.

My music and scripture songs have an indie-folk feel, and is designed to capture the power and poignancy of the incredible journey that is following Jesus.

I hope my words—whether in print, audio, or scribbled on a “warm fuzzy” sticky note—encourage, inspire, and motivate you.

More About Me

My writing has appeared in A Life Overseas, Guide Magazine, Velvet Ashes, Adventist Review, and other publications.

Every once in a while, I’m surprised it’s Tuesday, or July, or time for dinner.

One time, Jesus told me to throw away my mascara. I tell the story in my book, The Barefoot Mile. Get it free below!

My husband Joshua and I run the Scripture Song Database.

Pssst… I made something for you!

In Beyond a Thousand Shadows, I’ve gathered together all my favorite essays about following Jesus despite my (many) weaknesses. The eBook version is available for free to all my subscribers! Sign up below to get your copy.
