When I'm not writing, I enjoy supporting my kids activities, gourmet cooking, lounging by the fireside reading historical fiction and spoiling Tundra and Drifter, our two Great Pyrenees dogs.
Music
Love music of all kinds, rock, hip hop, blues and classic, mostly from the Christian genre. Some of my favorites are Brandon Heath, Leeland, Brett Rush, Jonny Lang, Third Day, Kutless, Toby Mac, Natalie Grant, Bryan Duncan, Superchick, Amanda Falk, Casting Crowns, Building 429 .... I could go on forever.
Movies
Epics all the way. I love historical films, you know the big gut-wrenching ones with a powerful story line.
Television
My lifestyle doesn't give me a ton of time for watching TV, but I am absolutely addicted to the series "24". And, I'll admit it, I'm an avid "American Idol" watcher... shhh!
Books
I am the author of three books:
MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS
MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS
Savor your own favorite moments surrounding the Christmas season as you catch a glimpse into the humorous, lighthearted, and spiritually poignant memories of some of your favorite personalities from all walks of life, including actors, athletes, musicians, politicians, and authors.
My Favorite Christmas will inspire you with down-to-earth and heavenly stories that provide you with a moment to reflect on what matters most - the joys of faith and family - amidst the rush and hustle of the Yule season.

HOW DO YOU KNOW HE'S REAL: CELEBRITY REFLECTIONS ON TRUE LIFE EXPERIENCES WITH GOD
HOW DO YOU KNOW HE'S REAL: CELEBRITY REFLECTIONS ON TRUE LIFE EXPERIENCES WITH GOD
"How Do You Know He's Real?: Celebrity Reflections on True Life Experiences With God" is the first installment of a planned three-book series. Released in April by Destiny Image Publishers, author Amy Hammond Hagberg's new book contains 34 real-life stories about celebrities who know God is real because of their personal relationship with Him.
Well-known sports, film, TV, and music celebrities talk candidly about such topics as miracles & prayer, marriage & healing, success & despair, abortion & sex, addiction & death, forgiveness & salvation, joy & love and more. This collection of stories is in stark contrast to many of today's depressing, tragedy-focused headlines that feature some athletes and movie stars. In this encouraging and uplifting book, Christians blessed with professional career success share their very personal stories about life in the spotlight-and love in God's light.
HOW DO YOU KNOW HE'S REAL: GOD UNPLUGGED
HOW DO YOU KNOW HE'S REAL: GOD UNPLUGGED
"God Unplugged" shares the profound real life journeys and dramatic encounters with the living God by young celebrities. The book addresses issues that young people deal with, like insecurity, anger, peer pressure, addiction and self-esteem. Always inspirational and often miraculous, "God Unplugged" is a must-read for those who desire to go deeper in their relationship with God.
HOW DO YOU KNOW HE'S REAL: GOD FOR ALL GENERATIONS (available September, 2007)

Many of you, my dear friends, have asked me how JJ is doing. I'm caring for him like a sick child nearly 24 hours a day. I don't get much sleep (I'm not complaining) these days so I often forget to get back to you as I have limited computer time as well. It's not that I don't read your messages or think about what wonderful friends God has blessed me with. I truly enjoy hearing from you and love getting messages, comments and emails. I do want you to know that if I don't reply right away I will as soon as I get a chance. I love each of you dearly and thank you so much for everything. We need many, many prayers for JJ. Prayers were answered for Winston (and continue to be) and without you I don't know if he'd be here with us today. I have put up a web page on Winston's site for JJ. This will make it easier if you would like to check in on JJ. I will continue to update this page. I invite you to visit it as well as our regular updates page. Here is the link:
Psalm 31:23 O love the LORD, all ye his saints: [for] the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
