About Christine Sine
Greetings from Seattle, where I live with my husband, Tom, and my dog, Bonnie. I am a passionate organic gardener; my front porch is currently sprouting an assortment of tomatoes, peppers, squash, and other vegetables awaiting the warmer weather.
Tom and I work together to assist churches and Christian organizations around the world to look at the challenges facing them in the 21st century. We also founded “Mustard Seed Associates,” a network of followers of Jesus that seeks to unleash the creative potential of individuals who want to put God’s purposes first in their lives.
While I’m not currently practicing medicine, my background includes working as a physician in Australia, New Zealand, and for a number of years around the world on one of YWAM’s “mercy ships.” I loved shipboard life in spite of the fact that I am one of those lucky people who can get seasick sitting on the wharf looking at the sea. I still work as a consultant for a variety of mission organizations on issues of international health care and travel medicine. I also conduct seminars to help prepare folks for overseas mission service.
For Fuller Theological Seminary I teach a course on mission to the urban poor–based in part on life-changing experiences I had some years ago in refugee camps in Thailand. I also like to speak to various groups on issues related to changing our lifestyle and time-style in order to develop a more spiritual rhythm for our lives. I have written three books, Tales of a Seasick Doctor (Zondervan, 1996), Survival of the Fittest: Keeping Healthy in Overseas Travel and Service (MARC, 1995), and Sacred Rhythms: Finding a Peaceful Pace in a Hectic World (Baker Books, 2003). An updated version of Sacred Rhythms—now titled GodSpace: Time for Peace in the Rhythms of Life was published in 2006 by Barclay Press.
Tom and I have written another book together entitled Living on Purpose: Finding God’s Best for Your Life (Baker Books, 2002) and we are still friends!
These books are all available for sale through the Mustard Seed website
