Intersected

Forty ordinary people intersected and transformed by an extraordinary God.Something was missing from their lives; something more was available to them. Intersected shares the journeys of forty people who found that something--a personal relationship with God. The transformative power of God's love comes alive in these inspiring stories of the difference God has made in the lives of people just like you. God intersected forty lives in the midst of fear, depression, addiction, selfishness, pain, and emptiness, and invited them to discover a life of freedom. He offered them a choice: choose to continue on the broad road of destruction or choose to follow the narrow path toward heaven. A few came to this intersection as young children, but most didn't see their need for a Savior until the pressures of life became more than they could handle. All made the most important decision of their lives--to follow Jesus. Author Kelli Kossel brings the forty testimonies to life with warm clarity in Intersected. The compelling stories express how God brought healing, love, joy, and peace into their lives. He's waiting to do the same for you.

Kelli's interest in writing blossomed in the year 2000 after God made His presence known in her life. Out of nowhere, a line or two of a poem came to her mind. Soon after she wrote the lines, an entire poem had formed on the page. Within two weeks, Kelli had a collection of over twenty-five poems—all spiritual in nature. She knew the poems came from God, even though she was far from Him at the time. God was revealing His character and opening her heart.

Not until Kelli received Jesus as her Savior and Lord in March of 2008, did God give her a strong desire to write. Soon after, she began writing the story of how God pursued her and how He changed her heart and life. Then, in October of 2010, God called her to write Intersected—Kelli's first book.

Because of Kelli's intimate and rewarding relationship with God—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—she wants others to experience the deep joy and satisfaction that come from really knowing God in a personal way. She strives to ignite passion for God in others by sharing all that is available to those who follow Jesus Christ. The most powerful way Kelli can show people how God works is to tell them how He is at work in her life and in the lives of others.

For thirteen years, Kelli worked as a licensed acupuncturist in her hometown of Oshkosh, Wisconsin. She is now married and lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Kelli and her husband, Steve, moved there in October of 2014 under God's direction. Kelli and Steve Miller have a writing and speaking ministry called Spirit of Acts.
