Eleanor Shepherd’s article, "Living Outside Our Comfort Zones," is on page 120 of Hot Apple Cider. This article, based on Eleanor’s personal experiences, including her son’s life-changing accident, received The Word Guild Award of Merit for a Profile or Human Interest Article in June, 2009.
Eleanor Shepherd spent 30 years in ministry after ordination as an officer of The Salvation Army. While giving leadership in pastoral ministry and administration, she contributed over 85 articles, mainly to Salvation Army publications. These were distributed in a variety of periodicals in Canada, the USA, France, Germany and New Zealand.
Prayer has played an important part in Eleanor’s life. For 15 years, she has been a member of the Intercessors, an international prayer ministry begun by Catherine Marshall. Besides leading workshops and seminars on prayer, she applied her teaching by creating a personal prayer support network for the ministry of her husband and herself. This network proved particularly valuable to the Shepherds six years ago when their 30-year-old son, John, who was attending Harvard Business School, broke his neck in a car accident and became a quadriplegic.
