Dana Konop is a Christian author, former nurse, teacher, and full-time mother whose life has been shaped by deep struggle and God’s redemptive grace. After living with depression for more than twenty years, she experienced a gradual but powerful healing journey as she learned to follow God one step at a time.
For women, Dana writes with honesty and compassion for the isolation of depression and discouraged faith for those quietly wondering where God is in the middle of the struggle. She
combines Scripture-centered encouragement with practical, actionable
steps to help women move forward—even on the hardest days.
For teachers, Dana writes with understanding for the stress and challenge of meeting the needs of students in today's challenging environment. She speaks to the heartfelt need for encouragement and strength, especially for the difficult days teetering on burnout and exhaustion.
For children, Dana brings the celebration of God's gentle, loving character to the youngest in His family with whimsical art and imagination. Her picture books also include thoughtful questions for children and families to go deeper in relationship with God.
Dana also spreads her message of Biblical encouragement in her community on Instagram.
"Jesus looked at them intently and said, 'Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.'"
- Matthew 19:26 (NLT).
