About me

I am privileged to live in the beautiful pine-covered mountains of Eastern Oklahoma with my husband, Owen. We have a blended family—four sons, three daughter-in-laws, and six adored grandchildren. We are all about family values, rural living, and a rich faith in God. These things define who I am.

Much of my life was spent in the fast-paced business world, but I eventually returned to live in the rural community where I grew up. Thanks to modern technology, I continued to work as an accountant, yet in a much slower-paced environment. Hoping to fulfill my lifelong desire to write, I completed a two-year writing course through the Jerry B. Jenkins Christian Writers Guild. My current peaceful surroundings, populated by the natural wildlife of the area—deer, wild turkey, fox, raccoons, squirrels and birds—provided the perfect place to pursue my love for writing. It is so easy to find God here—I hear Him and see Him everywhere. This is simply my little piece of heaven before I get to heaven.

I am excited to announce that in mid-August of 2022, my first book was released by my publisher, WestBow Press. It is beyond a dream come true. My book, There Is Life after Tragedy, is available at all major retailers and also from my publisher who gives free shipping with all book orders. The book is a personal story about my family’s tragedy that occurred in 1946, but not talked about for many years. I have now shared this story with the world, the shock and pain it caused my family, and their remarkable recovery to live life again for the sake of their children.  I share much of my own losses in life and how God helped me through it all.  He is the One who offers us a pathway to healing of our deeply wounded souls. You can check out the website for my book at sarahjanekellogg.com. I totally believe that my book with not disappoint!

I am available to speak at Ladies’ retreats and seminars, and always welcome the opportunity to share my journey of faith with other women. To learn what “Treasure in Earthen Vessels” has to do with my writing/speaking ministry, please click on the Welcome tab.

I have written one statement in my entire life that I consider worthy of mention, and today it is my motto and guide for the way I write, sing, and live life:

“May I never be proud that I can hear the still small voice of God, but rather may I be humbled that He would choose to speak to me.” (2001)  ~ Sarah Jane Kellogg
