Barbara Hartzler is the debut author of the devotional WAITING ON THE LORD: 30 Reflections. She's a born-and-raised Missouri native living in Kansas City with her husband and zany dog, Herbie. As a former barista and graphic designer, she loves all things sparkly and purple and is always jonesing for a good cup of joe.

It's inspired by her Bible college experiences and peppered with anecdotes from her New York City missions trip as a teen. She earned her Bachelor's degree in Church Communication Arts from Central Bible College with an emphasis on drama and media. In college she won a National Religious Broadcasters/Focus on the Family essay scholarship and wrote and directed a successful one act play. A Genesis Semi Finalist in the Young Adult category, she was a featured speaker at the 2014 Maranatha Book Festival.
