 About | |
| Naomi Reed grew up in Sydney on a quarter acre block with a large assortment of pets and no television. She became a Christian at high school through the ministry of ISCF and met her future husband Darren at a high school disco. They trained together as physiotherapists at Sydney Uni and then married and worked in Sydney hospitals before answering God’s call to the mission field in 1993. They spent six of the next thirteen years working in Nepal with the International Nepal Fellowship and it changed them irrevocably. They now eat rice for breakfast, leave their chappals at the door and pause interminably if you ask them where their home is. The family are now based in the Blue Mountains where Naomi is writing, speaking and studying for her Master of Arts in Christian Studies (MACS) at SMBC. She is the author of four books, ‘My Seventh Monsoon’, ‘No Ordinary View’, ‘Over My Shoulder’ and 'The Promise'. The Promise is also available as an audio book. For more information and photos, go to 'My Seventh Monsoon' on Face Book. |
The official site of Naomi Reed: Christian writer, author, speaker.
"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." (2 Cor 4: 18) |
Naomi has also had a long interest in personality and is accredited as an MBTI practitioner. In that capacity, she facilitates the ‘Understanding Self’ component of the Missions Interlink courses. She also has a heart for women across denominations and is the chairman of her local CWCI committee. She writes regular columns for the Presbyterian Pulse and is involved in her local church. Above and beyond all that though, she adores her husband and three sons. The best part of her day is the mad dash up to school at ten to three and then the even madder dash home as the boys fly ahead of her on their scooters. “If I do all these other good things, but haven’t loved my family and spent time with God each day, then I might as well have done nothing at all. I might as well have kept the laptop closed and the pen lying alone on the desk.” She hopes to one day find that elusive sense of balance in her life.
