About the speaker
Shelley Hendrix is a wife, mother, teacher, speaker, author, and most recently, television talk show host --but more important than any role she fills, she is most grateful to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that she belongs to and matters to God. Recognizing her value, worth, significance, and security come directly as a gift of God’s grace, and not of her own striving or self-effort, has dramatically changed her life.
Shelley desires to pour her life into others that she might be used of God to create hunger for God and His Word in as many lives as possible.
Shelley has taught Bible Studies and classes at FBC, Woodstock, GA since 1997 under the dynamic leadership of Dr. Johnny Hunt. She is a host of Atlanta Live!-A Christian Talk Show on Atlanta's WATC TV 57. Shelley is a CLASS Certified Speaker and has spoken at various events nationwide, including the Timothy-Barnabas Pastor’s School, the WILD Women of God Conference, Heart & Soul Ministry Wives' Conference, and was also a contributing writer to “Secrets of Confidence”- a devotional book for women published by Barbour Publishing. Shelley's first published book is entitled "On Purpose For A Purpose", and is based upon the lives of Esther and Mordecai from the book of Esther. (This is a book that can be used as a Bible Study along with accompinament DVD's of Shelley teaching each chapter as an individual lesson.)
Shelley is available for conferences, retreats, banquets, special events, and more.
Shelley is honored to be married to her best friend, Stephen Hendrix, CADC, Associate Executive Director of HopeQuest Ministries Group, Inc.; A counseling ministry to men and women struggling with life dominating issues such as drug addiction, alcohol addiction, and sexual brokenness. They have three amazing children (whom God uses to teach them much!) and travel from Atlanta, Georgia.

Top Ten Insider Cruise Tips
1. Online Check-In - Speed up the boarding process by completing the Online Check-In process online after reserving your cruise, instead of at the port prior to departure.
2. Shore & Land Excursions are fun, full of adventure and very popular, so they book up fast. You have 3 options: reserve them online (up to 10 days before departure), reserve them onboard the first day at the Explorations Desk or on your TV in your stateroom using your remote control. Reserve early so you won't miss out on any of the fun.
3. For the first day of your cruise, pack a small carry-on bag with your travel documents, a change of clothes, bathing suit, maybe workout clothes, and any medications you may need. This will allow you to begin enjoying your vacation immediately, because you won't have to wait for your bags to arrive at your stateroom.
4. If the spa is your thing, try to make your appointments on the first day, as the most popular treatments and times fill up fast.
5. If you want to grab a bite to eat when you first get onboard, head up to the Windjammer Café; they'll be serving.
6. Every ship has two seatings for dinner in the main dining room - 6:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. When you book your cruise you can select what time works best for you and we'll assign you a table. Also, some of our ships have specialty restaurants (i.e., Italian, steak, etc.) we highly recommend you try. (A nominal fee applies.)
7. To make your cruise even more enjoyable, we offer soda/juice drink packages that entitle you to unlimited beverages at our bars and lounges. It's a great idea for families! 8. What's the SeaPassSM? For your convenience, our ships use the SeaPass signing system. This system allows you to charge all onboard purchases by presenting the Cruise Card that is issued to you upon boarding. On the last morning of your cruise vacation, an itemized statement will be delivered to your stateroom for verification. Your SeaPass charges will be billed automatically to the credit card you selected upon check-in.
9. Getting on and off the ship - Depending on the port, there are two ways to get on and off the ship. In some ports, we dock right in the port so you can get on and off whenever you want via the gangplank. And in other ports, we use tenders (small ferry-like boats) that will take you to the port; tenders run frequently between the ship and the port. But remember to ALWAYS bring your SeaPass with you, as you will need it to get off and get back on the ship.
Envelopes for gratuities will be provided in your stateroom on the last night of the cruise. Gratuities may be paid in the following ways:
· Added to your onboard Sea Pass account
Paid in cash at the end of the cruise
10. Tipping - So that you can thank those who have made your cruise vacation better than you could have imagined, we've developed these gratuity guidelines:
Stateroom attendant:
$3.50 USD
a day per guest
Dining Room Waiter:
$3.50 USD
a day per guest
Assistant Waiter:
$2.00 USD

Headwaiter:
