Writing
Mary Yerkes is a communicator par excellence…something to say and powerfully said! Her work as a writer, speaker, and coach flows out of the deep well of her life. Her own spiritual formation, crafted in the quiet place of intimate communion with God, surfaces treasures of enduring value that will enrich your life.

“As a writer and a speaker, Mary Yerkes does not spill words, she
invests them. Hers is a thoughtful, reflective, deep soul. Mary’s
wealth of spirit is revealed in every sentence she offers.”
~Alicia Britt Chole, Founder and Director, Leadership Investment Intensives and The 7th Year, www.aliciachole.com
“On Focus on the Family’s flagship Web site, we typically need writers who are research-oriented and have a keen attention to detail. Mary has all of these qualities. From the first time we worked together, I was impressed with her professionalism and her approach to sensitive topics. Thanks for the great work you’ve done, Mary!”
-Jay MacInnes, Senior Editor, Focus on the Family
“As a writer, Mary Yerkes’ contribution resonates with the insights of one who possesses spiritual depth and a tried faith. The timeless principles of the sacred text become a dynamic template for contemporary living under her pen. Such insights are only borne through a tender, close relationship with the Lord and the tenacious application of truth through the fires of real-life testing.”
~Dr. Tim Hager, Administrator of Field Operations, Assemblies of God
Leadership Coaching
“The Calling Discovery Workshop and spiritual life coaching with Mary Yerkes have been two of the most effective and life-changing encounters I’ve experienced! As a leader of leaders, I’d participated in numerous trainings and gifts analysis opportunities over the years. This was different. The Holy Spirit used Mary to conduct deep, life-altering work in my life both personally and professionally. Those seeking authentic, spiritual transformation should give purposeful and serious consideration into partnering with Mary through a workshop or through her spiritual life coaching.”
~Stephanie Smith, Vocal Coach Pastor, Manassas Assembly of God
Speaking
“Mary’s presentation to Capital Christian Writers was a delight…rather like a semester of college-level writing instruction on speed dial. Not because she rushed through it, but because she cut to the good stuff in short order and provided an unbelievably meaty handout. This ‘Renaissance Woman’ could probably run the country if she paced herself, and yet, she is a delight to work alongside in a team. I am impressed with who she is as a person, her compassionate outreach to the hurting, and her presentations. She’s one of the ‘ask backs’.”
-Betsy Dill, Director Capital Christian Writers, Fairfax, VA
“As a teacher, Mary Yerkes is articulate, compassionate, and wise. Her lessons are rooted in a clear, insightful exposition of God’s Word and a personal experience of its truth. Sensitive to both the Holy Spirit and the needs of her audience, she brings them together in the bond of Christian love. It was a blessing to receive her lessons out of the book of Job on the gift of pain.”
-Cameron B. Clark, Attendee, The Gift of Pain
