The articles on Bread for the Bride are written (unless  otherwise stated) by  Cheryl McGrath.   Cheryl writes to encourage, equip and awaken the Bride of Christ.   

Cheryl’s pursuit of Jesus Christ has led her through many expressions of Christianity  including denominational, Pentecostal, mainline and charismatic church settings.  She has also been deeply involved in house church style worship, and has ministered through prophetic teaching in a number of  ‘off the beaten track’  locations in Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.  Though her own Christ following odyssey started over fifty years ago, she frequently feels like she has only just set out on the journey.

Having been born and raised in Sydney, Australia, Cheryl now lives with her husband and two cute but demanding springer spaniels in a busy seaside town on Australia’s east coast.  Yes, she knows there are worse places to live (she’s visited some of them).  She enjoys chocolate, old British movies and hanging around with dogs probably more than is good for her.  On the other hand she dislikes broccoli, flying (on planes) and crawling insects far more than is reasonable. (Update January 2018:  Sadly one of our Springer Spaniels passed away in January 2018. We have now welcomed a new  Springer Spaniel, a lovely female we called Flame, into our family.)
