About Jennifer

Jennifer’s husband, Jim Sands, was killed in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Before that tragic day, Jennifer was not a follower of Jesus. But God quickly transformed Jennifer from an unbelieving, brokenhearted widow to a sought-after Christian Author, Speaker, and Bible teacher. She has been on the national speaking circuit regularly for over 20 years; her story and messages are powerful and inspiring, and they go far beyond 9/11. Jennifer has faced many other challenges since then, making her even more determined to share the Gospel along with her Biblical teaching and uplifting messages. The desire of her heart is to bring hope to those who are hurting, and to help others grow in grace and knowledge of God and His Word.

Jennifer is a happily-single New Jersey native, a retired pharmacist, a breast cancer survivor, a caregiver for her elderly parents, and a Chocolate Lab lover…though she doesn’t have one of her own. Her story has been featured on The 700 Club, the Hour of Power, Moody Bible Radio, Homelife magazine, Fox News, and many other media outlets. She is also the Author of 3 books which chronicle her spiritual awakening and Biblical growth since 9/11: A Tempered Faith, A Teachable Faith, and A Treasured Faith. Wherever you are in your life journey, Jennifer’s message will lift your spirit, encourage your heart, and remind you of God’s faithfulness.

“I attended one of Jennifer’s retreats, expecting sad emotions for her tragic loss. Sure, a few tears were shed… but I also laughed out loud so often! Her stories and expressions were so funny and refreshing… she has the ideal balance of Biblical truth, life application, personal transparency, and effective humor. I bought her 3 wonderful books and was thrilled to see that same perfect balance!”
