Author Spotlight: Gloria Fennimore

“Give me Jesus… but don’t take my planner.”

In her candid and conviction-filled chapter, “Give Me Jesus, but Don’t Take My Day Planner,” Gloria Fennimore invites us to examine the subtle ways control, productivity, and self-made identity can quietly take God’s place in our lives. With honesty and hard-won wisdom, Gloria shares how her devotion to planning, achievement, and approval slowly became a counterfeit source of security—until God lovingly dismantled it all to reveal a better way.

Through personal loss, humility, and restoration, Gloria points readers back to the truth that balance isn’t found in managing our schedules. Instead, it’s found in surrendering our priorities to God’s perfect plan. Her story challenges us to ask not how full our calendars are, but whether our lives truly glorify Him in every season—especially the hard ones.

Gloria’s chapter is both a loving warning and a gracious invitation: to release control, trust God as the ultimate Planner, and discover a life marked by peace, joy, humility, and lasting contentment.

We’re deeply grateful for Gloria’s courage, clarity, and faithfulness. It is an honor to carry her words to publication in Stories of Courageous Leadership. 💛
