Chris Baxter is a wife, mother, women's Bible study teacher, writer, and speaker. She and her husband Mac reside in Nolensville, Tennessee. Together, they have four adult children: Maggie (married to AJ Gilmer), Brent, Davis, and Emmy. 

​

       Chris grew up in a Christian home, and believed in Jesus as her Savior at an early age; however, her faith truly blossomed later as a young adult when real life struggles hit in various ways. At this time of deep soul-searching and crying out, the truth and promises found in God's word became her lifeline. Now, her heart's desire it to be a "messenger of God's word," whether it's in written or spoken form. Some of Chris' writings include: The Heartbeat of God, A Mother's Privilege, Twenty-five Years Twenty-five Lessons in Marriage, and Awesome Biblical Concepts: A Devotional for Every Family; many of these books and devotionals can be found on her website, www.respitefortheweary.com.
