Rita Fankhauser, who is she? The two of you actually share something similar—birth, breath, and a heartbeat. You also share one underlying difference—the mysterious “magnificent maze” of life distinguishing your uniqueness. Rita’s passion for writing began years ago. Journaling her thoughts brought healing and praise to the questions she longed to find answered. Her place of solitude propelled into a daily ritual of serenity. In the moments of silence, she found peace. Through sitting still, she discovered freedom in the most beautiful form of art—writing. Journaling no longer became a troubled outlet, but an exposed channel of inspiration.

Rita enjoys the artistry of interior design, fitness training, and embraces the blessings of travel. She was born and raised in a small town in North Carolina, where she currently resides with her husband of many years, Jim, and her personally trained service animal, Fendi.

Rita works alongside her husband in his faith-based construction company. Together they have seen the manifestations of God’s goodness. Rita is looking forward to her retirement years with more travels ahead, spending time with her family, and connecting with others who too have discovered the beauty within by falling to their knees.

Rita believes purpose is seen more clearly when we fall to our knees in pain, prayer, and praise. Her soon to follow sequel, Falling to My Knees with Purpose, Promise, and Peace, navigates your path to a place of resilience as you stand tall and rejoice in the name of Jesus. Rita states, “Always dare to be different. While it is contrary to popular opinion, it will irrefutably advance you further toward the will of God.”
