Tricia McCary Rhodes has served in full time Christian ministry for over 31 years. Since her teenage years, she has pursued an intimate connection with Christ, and she delights in helping others come to know Him through writing, speaking and personal ministry. Tricia's first book, The Soul at Rest: a Journey into Contemplative Prayer, was a Gold Medallion finalist and has helped thousands develop their relationship with God by giving them the tools they need for quiet meditation and reflection. Since then she has written five other books, all with the goal of providing inspiration and practical helps for drawing others into the joy of walking withJesus.

Sacred Chaos: Spiritual Disciplines for the Life You Have, is Tricia's latest book. She originally set out to write about sacred space, dreaming of weekend retreats and long walks along the beach as she prepared. But God had a different idea and got her attention by sending her son, his wife and their two children to live with her for a season. They moved in the week she was to begin writing, and moved out the week she was to have finished. The result? SACRED CHAOS! Tricia says she learned through that crazy season how faithful God is, and how simple it can be to meet Him within the busy pockets of a life with no spaces at all.

Tricia writes and ministers from her heart as a woman whom God has deeply touched with His grace. Her primary ministry is with her husband, Joe, senior pastor of New Hope Church, which they started together almost 28 years ago in San Diego, California. They have two sons, one of whom is married, and has blessed them with a wonderful daughter-in-law and three grandchildren. Tricia's favorite ministry is teaching and discipling women at the military prison near her home.
