Shaunti Feldhahn started out as an analyst on Wall Street, and ended up a surprise best-selling author. In addition to her writing, she is a business/marketing consultant, and an active participant in several major non-profit and policy initiatives. More importantly, Shaunti is a wife, a mother of two young children, and an active member of the Atlanta Vineyard Church.

Shaunti holds a Masters in Public Policy from Harvard University, and a bachelor's in government and economics from The College of William & Mary in Virginia. She served on the staff of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee during banking reform, and later worked at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, tracking the Asian-market crisis for high-level financial policymakers.

In 1998, Shaunti authored a runaway best-seller Y2K: The Millennium Bug; A Balanced Christian Response (Multnomah), which encouraged the faith community toward a positive, service-oriented Y2K response. Later, she became a founding member of the Board of Directors of We Care America, the nation's leading network of care ministries. Through WCA, Shaunti has worked to involve the faith community with the many critical policy issues affecting care ministries, such as the faith-based initiative.

Shaunti also writes Christian 'message fiction,' applying her analysis and research skills to weaving truth-filled stories. Her recent spiritual thrillers, The Lights of Tenth Street and The Veritas Conflict, confront many vital issues of life and faith. (Shameless plug: both can be found in your local bookstore.) Her latest nonfiction book, For Parents Only: Getting Inside the Head of Your Kid by Shaunti Feldhahn and Lisa A. Rice, was released in September 2007.
