After writing in secret for 15 years, Tara L. Banks felt prompted to develop her work into a book. The very next day, she accidentally lost every word she’d ever written. Refusing to give up, she realized that God was guiding her to write about the lessons she needed to learn through moments like that one. From that experience, her debut book, Waiting On Wonders, was born. Two years later, Tara wrote Finding Everyday Fruit, and believes that the fruit of the Spirit can not only be discovered in everyday moments, but developed in our lives as a result. 

​

When she’s not writing, Tara can be found sharing her experiences through speaking and coaching worship teams, having served for over 20 years as a Worship Pastor at Seacoast Church in Charleston, South Carolina. She’s married to her college sweetheart, Greg, and they have two sons-of-thunder, Ethan and Brody, plus a daughter-in-love, Lydia. When she’s not tinkering with her ‘73 CJ-5 Jeep or dreaming of Hawaii, you will likely find her waiting on wonders and searching for the fruit of the Spirit in everyday life.
