COSHOCTON – Debbie Snyder has taught Sunday School, sang in her church choir, and currently leads a women’s devotional group, but she wanted to do more to reach out to women and give them hope.
The way she discovered to do this was through her devotional books, of which she now has published four.
The latest book, “A Deeper Love,” was released in December 2015 and is about her three grandsons and a grandmother’s love for her grandchildren.
“I started it several years back, but put it in a drawer and never finished it,” Snyder said. “When my last grandson was born I got it out and finished it. My daughter Sarah and son Eric typed and edited the final changes due to a struggle I had with my vision. A very rare disease attacked the cornea of my right eye and I lost most of my vision in that eye. Due to much prayer and the expertise of my corneal specialist at OSU, I am regaining my vision.”
Her first book came out in 2006 and is called “Many Rooms Inside a Woman’s Heart.”
“I was jotting little notes about things that happened and felt led to start putting them all together,” Snyder said. “I showed Irene Krall (at the former) Good News Book Store my rough draft and she encouraged me to send it in. She has always been an inspiration to me.”
She then published a second book, “Mothers and Daughters a Special Blend” in 2008 and a third in 2009 called “Your Life Speak Volumes Speak Up!”
“I try to show my heart in all my books and put myself out there with the heartbreaking and good situations,” Snyder said. “I want people to feel something when they read these stories.”
Each book is different, but they all focus on relationships in women’s lives and the power of prayer and believing in Christ.
“I want women to see that it’s ok to go through hard times and that all the things we feel as moms are ok,” Snyder said. “We aren’t perfect. We just need to keep having hope, keep praying for our children and keep believing in them. Our jobs and roles as mothers and grandmothers are so important.”
Her books are available online at Books a Million, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, America Star Books and other various websites.
