Casandra Martin loves old quilts, new books, and her amazing God. Writing from her home in Spring, Texas, she loves meeting God in the pages of His Word and sharing His heart with the women God loves.
Casandra graduated from Harding University, where she met and married her husband, Ken. After college, Casandra taught at Northland Christian School where she was named Teacher of the Year. After several years of teaching high school, God gave Casandra her greatest teaching assignment – her children, Emily, Ryan, and Jonathan.
After becoming a stay-at-home mom, God opened the door for Casandra to use her teaching skills to teach women about God’s Word and His love for them. She loves teaching the Women Opening the Word Bible Study in her home congregation as well as sharing her inspiring and infectious enthusiasm for Jesus at Ladies Days, retreats, and Bible lectureships around the country.
Casandra is the best-selling author of the Women Opening the Word Bible study series. She has written nine Bible studies for women including Paul: By the Grace of God, and Echoing His Heartbeat: The Life of David. Other studies in the series include, God, Pass By Me, a study of the names of God, The Shadow of the Cross, A Light in the Darkness: Elijah and Elisha, The Fragrance of Faith, Our Father in Heaven…Teach Us to Pray and That You May Believe, a journey through the Gospel of John. The ABCs of a Godly Heart, a walk with God through the Psalms, and Set Free, a journey through the Exodus, are the newest studies in the series. All of her books are available through 21st Century Christian.
Casandra and her family are blessed to worship and serve with God’s people at the Spring Creek Church of Christ in Tomball, Texas.
Every book you have written has been a wonderful study. So many people have praised God through your insights. May God continue to use you as He sees fit.
As a fairly new Christian, I highly recommend Cassandra’s books. Her form of bible study, throuh her books, requires reading God’s word, as well as writing it. This gave me an easier way to study God’s word. WOW!
Thanks for the lessons you will be able to teach me each day through your Website. I have missed church so much and most of all I have missed your classes. God willing I will be back in class soon.
Casandra – Thank you for letting God use you in such a significant way to bless the lives of those of us at our women’s retreat in Pigeon Forge, TN, on March 19-20. Your words encouraged and challenged us, and your walk through scriptures with us taught us how to focus on Jesus. Tomorrow our Tues. morning Bible study will be diving back into the precious book of John with your book as an outline and a guide – our study is rich and extremely rewarding. May God bless you and your family always. – Lynne Bender
Casandra – I just finshed the new Echoing His Heartbeat book and absolutely LOVED the changes you had made. There were so many wonderful lessons throughout the book that applied to me right now! But the very best part of the book was the very end in Day 4 of the last chapter – showing us how to “echo His heartbeat” – WOW! (no pun intended!!) – you know how to bring His Word right into our hearts!! Thank you for blessing my life with your wonderful writing. Growing in His Word b/c of your sweet example – Krista Cook
Casandra, I’m so glad to have found out about your website.
I have had several Bible studies with friends and gone through
all of your books. I’m presently doing your book about Psalms.
Thanks for writing and sharing what you have learned with us
and challenging us to grow in a deeper relationship with God.

Casandra, thanks for your posts. I don’t often forward things I read on the internet, but I’ve forwarded several of yours to my children. Thanks for bringing us all to a greater understanding and appreciation of who God is!
Our Ladies’Class at the Golden Church of Christ have been studying many of your books over the past few years. We are just starting the ABCs. Your books are wonderful and so well written. Your material has helped our class and ministry grow. Continue the great work and know you are in our thoughts and prayers!!! Amen.
Casandra,
I am so thankful to find your wesite in order to tell others what a wonderful teacher and writer you are. We were just blessed to have you
speak at our ladies retreat. I can hardly wait until you can come again. This my second time I have heard you speak and I have to say you bring God’s Word to life. My soul was uplifted after each retreat.
We have studied four (4) of your books and they were all great. I am looking forward to our study of another book. God did indeed bless you with gifts of teaching and writing. I am so greatful that you use these talents in such an inspirational way for women.
May God continue to bless you and your family with good health, happiness and love.
Thank you again for your great message at the retreat “More Holiness in Me”. I loved it!!!!!

Casandra,
I truly loved your teaching on Prayer from the Lord’s Prayer and on Spiritual Disciplines from the The Widow’s Oil in 2Kings 4…at the Helping Hands Conference this past weekend. I look forward to following your blog now that I know about your gift for teaching God’s word in a way that makes it come alive.
