About Me.
I’m Kathrin Shaffer—author, storyteller, and believer that God meets us right in the middle of the mess. My books and podcast aren’t polished sermons; they’re real, honest reflections on faith, grace, and the everyday chaos of life. With humor, scripture, and plenty of coffee, I write to encourage ordinary people chasing after an extraordinary God.
You said yes.
Now what?
Leadership rarely comes with a map. And even if it does, it probably got smudged with coffee, revised mid-meeting, or lit on fire during a staff-wide panic. book is the honest, practical, and refreshingly humorous follow-up to The King's Wisdom, for leaders who now find themselves in the middle of the mess - still standing, still leading...somehow.
Whether you're navigating difficult employees, corporate chaos, ethical gray zones, or your third existential crisis of the week, this book reminds you that you're not alone. Through real-world wisdom, biblical insight, and just enough wit to keep you from weeping under your desk, Kathrin guides you through the leadership trenches of today's business world - with grace, grit, and a lot of faith.
This isn't about having all the answers.
It's about walking with integrity when everyone's watching and especially when they're not.
If you've ever looked around and wondered, "Am I really the one in charger here?"
Good news: You're exactly the kind of leader this book was written for.
What does it really mean to live a holy life without losing your sense of humor, or your mind.
In this refreshingly honest and hilariously insightful guide, Volume I dives deep into the heart of what it means to follow Jesus in a world that keeps shifting the goalposts. With warmth, wit, and a firm grounding in Scripture (yes, the KJV makes an appearance), Kathrin explores everything from moral decision-making to messy grace, biblical obedience to everyday discipleship.
This isn't a textbook or a theological snoozefest. It's real talk for real people trying to walk the narrow road in skinny jeans and yesterday's coffee breath. Whether you're a new believer wondering where to start or a lifelong Christian needing a tune-up, this book is your companion through the ups, downs, and divine detours of ethical living.
You'll laugh. You'll squirm. You'll rethink what you thought you knew. And in the end, you just might find that holiness isn't about perfection - it's about faithfulness, one clumsy step at a time.
What if the enemy kept a paper trail?
Dispatches from the Shadows is a series of intercepted letters from Quaver, a high-ranking tempter in the Infernal Department of Strategic Deception, to his bumbling apprentice. Each letter drips with manipulation, sarcasm, and delight in human folly — all in the service of a much darker agenda.
As Quaver trains his protégé in the art of steering humans away from the Enemy Above, readers get a satirical, unsettling, and often laugh-out-loud window into the spiritual battles we rarely see, yet constantly feel. Behind the barbs and backhanded praise lies a mirror reflecting our own compromises, distractions, and quiet rebellions.
If you’ve ever wondered what a modern, sharp-tongued demon might sound like — this is it. Written in biting, dark humor with unsettling accuracy, Dispatches from the Shadows invites you to eavesdrop on the enemy’s playbook and, in doing so, see more clearly the tactics arrayed against the human soul.
Perfect for readers who enjoy:
-
Satire with teeth
-
Spiritual warfare explored through fiction
-
A mix of wit, wisdom, and uncomfortable truths
-
Books that make you laugh, then make you think
Turn the page — the shadows have been writing to each other, and you’re not supposed to be reading this.
