My Quote Listed with Spurgeon, Chambers, Tozer and Piper

March 19, 2019 By Sherri

How interesting! I was searching for a radio spot from Joni Eareckson Tada about my book, “Not By Sight – Ministering to Believers Living with Chronic Illness and Pain.” I came upon this blog of “Great Christian Quotes” on Conviction of the Holy Spirit.

They listed my quote, “If we could CONTROL God, HE would not be God, WE would be God and WE ARE NOT God!” – Sherri L. Connell 

Wow! Look closer! My quote is surrounded by A.W. Tozer, Oswald Chambers, John Piper, Charles Spurgeon and more! Of course, I am certainly not a prolific writer they are, but it was quite a fun surprise!

Not By Sight is available through Where is God Ministries or on Amazon! Check it out!

The Adventures of Pumpkin and Cookie Now Available

April 1, 2014 By Sherri

The Adventures of Pumpkin and Cookie Sidebar www.PumpkinAndCookie.com

I finally completed a project I have been wanting to do for years! I am always so overwhelmed with just trying to survive, do my physical therapy, get my meals and go to my doctor appointments, that I never have time to do anything fun. I have dozens of art projects lined up, lots stories for books and stacks of frames by my desk. It is so frustrating to not be able to work on them!

I just had to put all my appointments aside and even went without meals (and showers) to write and illustrate this book. It was something I HAD to do for myself and my sanity. Thanks to my hubby and mom for the help, I got it done!

Here it is! The Adventures of Pumpkin and Cookie: Cookie Doesn’t Want to Be a Goat Anymore. Full color print. 36 pages. For children of all ages. Even adults love it!

Pumpkin and Cookie are on a quest to help other animals and encourage children with an awesome message! Come join us on our journey! 

Order Here!

ABOUT THE BOOK: The Adventures of Pumpkin and Cookie will take you on a journey with these amazing, real-life animals! Cookie Doesn’t Want to Be a Goat walks kids through Cookie’s struggle with being who she is … a goat. So, she decides she wants to be someone else. Maybe a frog, a bunny, a butterfly, a horse or a puppy?

In Cookie’s quest to become someone other than a goat, Pumpkin helps her realize that she should be herself. Pumpkin tells her she is unique and nobody else in the world is just like her. So, she needs to be the best goat she can be!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: The Adventures of Pumpkin and Cookie was written and illustrated by Sherri Connell. Sherri was a singer, dancer, actress, model and accounting manager. She studied art and photography in high school and college. Since 1991, Sherri has been debilitated daily by Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, Late-Chronic Lyme Disease and Traumatic Brain Injury. Pumpkin and Cookie give Sherri smiles in the midst of her losses and pain. This hobby is very important and therapeutic for her life and overall well-being. Sherri’s husband, Wayne, has made this book available in print to give her a sense of accomplishment and joy in sharing her babies, as well as support great organizations.

PROCEEDS GO TO SOME GREAT CAUSES: Proceeds go to non-profit animal advocacy and rescue organizations, as well as organizations that serve people challenged by illness, pain, injury or cognitive disorders, such as the Invisible Disabilities Association.

Meet My New Friends, Luis and Tuesday!

June 16, 2011 By Sherri

Meet my new friends, Luis and Tuesday! Let his story take you on a journey of how this soldier sustained debilitating, invisible injuries that nearly left him a prisoner in his own home. Luis lives with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury.

It wasn’t until Tuesday, a Service Dog, came into his life and rescued him that Luis was able to live again. He is the author of the book, Until Tuesday: A wounded Warrior and the Golden Retriever Who Saved Him, which debuted at #18 on the New York Times Best Sellers List! Luis and Tuesday are bringing awareness and hope to those with PTSD and TBI.

Luis will be the Keynote Speaker for the 2011 Invisible Disabilities Association’s Honor Awards Banquet on October 2, 2011. He will also be in Denver at the Tattered Cover Bookstore on July 12th. See their site to find out when he will be in a city near you!
