Author Deborah Hampton to sign books at city library
Deborah Baker Hampton, the daughter of Joe B. and Mildred McNeal, will be signing copies of her first self-published book, "God's Praying Cards: Using The Lord's Prayer & Prayer Journal," at the Mountain Home Public Library's commons area on Jan. 15, from 1-5 p.m.
The book is designed to teach people to "pray scriptures and approach both Bible reading and your prayer life in a whole new way," she said. "This is a prayer guide and prayer journal for those who desire to learn how to pray, for those who struggle with prayer and for those who want to take their prayer life to the next level."
Hampton wrote and produced her first public play for Black History Month in 1976, at Mountain Home AFB. It premiered at the Recreational Center using military and civilian personnel. She has written several books, poems and songs for publication.
She is the founder, author, and owner of On Time Productions, a theatrical company that writes, directs and produces full-scale Biblical plays, skits, and monologues. She designs her own sets and makes the props and costumes. Some of her major productions are: To Mend A People; Joseph The Committed; Noah's Ark, and Crucifixion.
Hampton holds a Master of Divinity degree and is currently working on her doctorate. She routinely teaches and preaches in various arenas, and is available to speak and perform for services, workshops, conferences, revivals and retreats.
She was born in Murfreesboro, Tenn., and has three sisters, Ann, Sharon and Stephanie, and one brother, Joseph. She was educated in public schools in the United States and overseas. She received her high school diploma from Wagner High School in the Philippines. She is married to Toney Hampton.
