My wife Marni will be posting some book reviews here, so I’d like to introduce her to you a bit:
The former Maren Kristine Haugen grew up in Palo Alto, CA where after being homeschooled through elementary school she demonstrated academic prowess as a high schooler at Crystal Springs Uplands School. Her English SAT score is more than 100 points higher than mine, yet I have the audacity to call myself a writer. Marni also played the trombone, acted in several plays, and was involved in summer camps such as City on the Hill which taught leadership and the formation of a Christian worldview.
Marni later attended Stanford University, where she majored in Human Biology and did dorm talks on abstinence. Graduating in 1993, she worked for Pacific Bell (now AT&T) until 2004, serving in several management positions, the last of which was Director of Knowledge Management. During her single years Marni enjoyed her time as a leader in Bible study fellowship and traveled all over the world. We married in Dec 2004, and when we moved to MN Marni worked for General Mills as a team lead until our first child, Karis Joy, was born in March of 2006.
