Cindy Brandt writes about faith in the irreverent, miracles in the ordinary, and beauty in the margins. She is more interested in being evangelized than evangelizing, a social justice Christian, and a feminist. She blogs at cindywords.com, tapping words out from the 33rd floor of a high rise in Taiwan, where she lives with her husband, two children, and a miniature Yorkie. Her first book is Outside In: Ten Christian Voices We Can't Ignore. She is the founder of Unfundamentalist Parenting blog, Raising Children Unfundamentalist Facebook Group, and is working on her second book which will be about parenting.
