Marilyn Nutter  holds an MA in Communication Disorders and has taught at Christian colleges for twenty-three years.  She has also practiced as a speech-language pathologist (SLP) primarily  in long term health care.  In 2004 she sensed that God was moving her away from the classroom to writing and other areas of ministry.  Since that time, she has been a contributor to Life on Purpose for Mothers, Leadership Connections Magazine, Chicken Soup for the Mother of Preschooler’s Soul, Laundry Tales, Simple Joy, and Girlfriend2Girlfriend.  Her first book, Dressed up Moms’ Devotions to Go, was released in May, 2006. 

      Nearly thirty years ago Marilyn had the benefit of a mentor who pointed her to extraordinary treasures from the Bible. She has also found that life's paths with its detours, seasons, and challenges have priceless God-given treasures along the way.  She considers it a privilege to pass on through writing and teaching, what she has learned and is continuing to learn.

      Marilyn  has been involved with women's ministries in her church for several years as a MOPS mentor and a Bible study teacher.  She is also a member of a tea group where friends steep together in joy and friendship as they meet each month. Marilyn shares refreshment to women's groups in learning about tea as a beverage and as an experience. She has developed a course for a community college and spoken to community women's groups (including Red Hats) about tea.  

      Marilyn has been married for thirty-nine years and currently lives in PA. She and her husband have three grown daughters, two sons-in-law, and four grandchilldren.
