Here are just a few things I’ve written…

Oh…There You Are

Some journeys aren’t about becoming someone new.

They’re about remembering who you’ve always been.

Through stories of front porches and winding trails, family tables and coffeehouses, beaches and back roads, Jeannie Bruenning invites readers on a gentle pilgrimage of noticing.

With warmth, humor, honesty, and grace, Oh… There You Are explores creativity, belonging, identity, wonder, hidden stories, unexpected detours, and the quiet ways God has been present all along.

This is not a book about reinventing yourself.

It is an invitation to slow down…to pay attention…
and to remember the person you were created to be.

Perhaps the life you’ve been searching for isn’t somewhere ahead of you.

Perhaps it’s been waiting patiently for you all along.

Oh… there you are.


Come with Me…

Journey with me in discovering your own path. This guided journal is filled with questions to spark your own memories on the road to discovering who you’ve always been.


The Plan

Before Earth, there was a plan.

Long before humanity existed, a rebellion tore thousands away from a loving King and the home they knew. Unable to force them back without taking away their freedom, the King creates a new world—one where every choice matters and forgiveness can be found.

At the heart of His plan is His Son, Jael, who enters this world to save those who walked away.

But redemption will demand a sacrifice greater than anyone imagined.

The Plan: Finding Our Way Home is an epic story of love, free will, forgiveness, sacrifice, and the hope of coming home.


Caffeinated

A cafe is where strangers come together and become family. It’s a place of comfort, community, and conversation. There is nothing else quite like it.

Life in a cafe is never dull. It’s a fast-paced world that brings with it laughter, drama, crazies and bizarre moments. Caffeinated is a collection of these stories as they happened at the Inkwell Cafe.


Caffeinated on Stage

Caffeinated was transformed into a script, and the production was brought to the stage in 2023.

Now, a young woman and moving on to the big city to start working at the prestigious Breckschnieder’s Department Store.

Living Unstuck

Most of us experience wonderful emotions in life, unfortunately it’s human nature to dwell on the not so wonderful ones from time to time.

There’s nothing wrong with having feelings, but should we get stuck on the negative ones, they have a tendency to overshadow the plans that God has for our life…a joyful life…UNSTUCK!
