Candace Pope

Candace Pope is a retired registered nurse, entrepreneur, and Bible study leader whose love for people and passion for God’s Word shine through every page she writes. She loves to experience the Bible not as a textbook, but as a two-way conversation with God. 

Her own faith has been forged through hardship: walking beside a teenage son diagnosed with leukemia, and later grieving the loss of her daughter to addiction. Yet through every heartbreak, Candace has learned to hold fast to joy—the kind that comes from knowing Jesus is in control, even when life is not. 

Now retired in South Carolina, she fills her days with laughter, golf, neighborhood gatherings, and encouraging others to discover the fun and freedom of faith. Her debut book, Dear Diary, reflects her heart for helping readers slow down, imagine themselves in Scripture, and fall in love with God’s Word all over again
