Writer • Speaker • Publisher Candy's intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit elicits a deep emotional response in those who yearn to hear the Voice of God. Rooted and grounded in the Vine, it is her heart's desire for the Fruit of the Spirit to be so evident in her own life that it will produce a harvest of righteousness in others through her writing and speaking. With a rare combination of skill, poise, discernment, and tact, she shares a wealth of knowledge with joy. Drawn by Candy's willingness to make herself vulnerable, audiences are impacted by her creative ability to find Biblical application in everyday life. Her Spirit-led words and personal anecdotes come forth with sincerity and compassion that bring conviction in the gentlest way, inspiring a new hunger for the Word of God and a passion for Christ's presence.
"The
harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask
the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out
workers into his harvest
field." * * * * * * * * * Fearless when following the leading of the Lord, especially in her writing, Candy is tackling the challenge of telling a teen nerd's story (think Charlie Brown and Harry Potter) who must save his hometown in a spiritual battle of good and evil. According to her agent, the six-book Bible-based Gavin Goodfellow series holds much promise. But youth fiction is only part of Candy's literary calling. In addition to her non-fiction book, Fruitbearer: What Can I Do For You, Lord, her stories appear in: Chicken Soup for the Prisoner's Soul; Chicken Soup for the Volunteer's Soul; Chicken Soup for the Christian Woman's Soul; For Better, For Worse; The Heart of a Father; Touched by Angels of Mercy; Stories for a Teen's Heart 2; Stories for a Woman's Heart, God Answers Prayers, and My Turn to Care. Named "Writer of the Year" at the 2003 Greater Philadelphia Christian Writers Conference, Candy enjoys her role as public speaker and workshop presenter. As well as being a CLASServices graduate, she is a graduate of the Institute of Children's Literature (Writing for Children and Teenagers), and directs Delmarva's Christian Writers' Fellowship. Topics Include God-Incidences Use
Me, Lord From
Worry to Wonder to Worship Praying
Your Way Through Your Day Feelings:
Prayers for Women in a Wacky World Celebrating
the NOW Sisters
in Christ Love
Stuff (Love's Tough) Candy delights in customizing programs to fit her audiences. From middle school youth to mother-daughter banquets and senior citizens, she is available to coordinate and present day-long seminars and weekend retreats. If the topics listed here don't meet your needs, please call for information on other presentations. |

The
Lord has been ministering through Candy since 1983
when He called her to write and publish her
non-fiction book, Fruitbearer: What Can I Do
For You, Lord? Now in its third printing,
this urgent call to grassroots believers is
scheduled for release in November 2005. Come with
Candy on her spiritual journey and discover a new
depth and fresh appreciation for what God is doing
in your life, even in distressing times. As the
Lord meets you between the lines of her book, your
heart will be quickened to say, "What can I do for
You, Lord?" Get ready for an adventure in
fruitbearing as the Master calls you by name. When
the trumpet sounds for the Lord's return, may He
find you communing with Him, bearing fruit for the
Kingdom-fruit that will last.|

"We
are very grateful for your appearance in our store.
It certainly was nice to have our anniversary
celebration so well attended and to have such a
charming and inspirational guest. The effect that
you had on our little enclave was, to say the
least, miraculous. Never has an event here stirred
such a deep emotional response. We appreciate all
that you have done for us and thank you for sharing
your gift." "For
over ten years, Candace Abbott and I have been
colleagues. We met at a writer’s conference
where I attended one of her workshops. From that
day, and in every encounter since, I have found
Mrs. Abbott to be a stellar professional. She has a
rare combination of skill, poise, discernment,
tact, and a wealth of knowledge she shares with
joy. Her speech comes forth with sincerity and
logic; when it is necessary to state hard truths,
she will not hesitate. She has a knack for
fostering great strength and enriching audiences of
every kind." "Candy,
thank you so much for taking time out of your very
busy schedule to be a guest speaker at Our Saviour
Lutheran Church Women’s League. This was a
long distance to travel, I know, but so worthwhile
judging from the glowing comments I’ve heard.
Case in point, ‘After hearing Candy speak, I
have a new hunger for the Word . . .’ and
‘I can’t wait to go home and dive into
the material Candy handed out. What an inspiration
she is!’ As for me, I felt more fire and love
for our Lord after hearing your enthusiasm for what
you are doing: serving and praising our Lord of
Lords!" "What
a delight to have Candy Abbott speak to our women
at Northminster Presbyterian Church’s spring
luncheon. She was inspiring and enjoyable. The
ladies really liked the two stories which she read.
When they gathered around her afterwards to buy
books and chat with her, one of the women said she
had trouble holding back her tears. It’s
unanimous: the ladies want her to come back!" Are
you planning an upcoming event? Need some help in
the planning and details? ******* |
