Dr. Christine Topjian: Inspiring Faith and Personal Growth Through Writing
Dr. Christine Topjian is an award-winning author writing faith-infused books and e-books for years. Her work always centers on helping people develop a personal relationship with God and helping them understand who God is and what beauty is available in a relationship with Him. She holds an Honours Bachelor of Commerce from Ryerson University in Toronto and a Masters in Education from Canisius College in Buffalo, NY. She completed her first Doctorate in Christian Ministry from Christian Leadership University and is working on her second Doctorate in Christian Leadership from her alma mater.
In an exclusive interview with Today’s Purpose Woman, Dr. Topjian talked about her journey as an author, her passion for helping people have a personal, active, and meaningful relationship with Christ, and her latest book titles.
When asked about her personal journey and how it led her to where she is today as an author, a publisher, a real estate professional and developer and a theatre, film and television performer. Dr. Topjian shared , “My own personal path to Christ began with a very difficult business situation that I was facing and for which I could not make manifest a solution. In other words, I knew the way out but God had to make it happen. The situation was such that I couldn’t even ask my family for help because they were also going through things, and so God was teaching me that I had to rely on Him and nobody else. How many people are in that same position today where they must rely on Him completely? My guess is everyone is in that boat in some way or another, and that’s why my books are important – because they provide you with the info and the tools to access that relationship with Him and to access and apply those solutions.”
Dr. Topjian’s driving passion is to help people through the information, examples, and case studies she includes in her books to give people the tools to have a personal, active, and meaningful relationship with Christ. She further emphasized the importance of having an active relationship with Christ and how that can lead to living your best life because God knows exactly how to guide us to access the life He has in store for us.
When asked about her inspiration for writing books about faith and God-given strategies, Dr. Topjian said, “I felt genuinely called to do this. As I spent time alone in my room one evening many years ago, the words for the first book fizzed up from inside of me, and I began to write out the words frantically on any small piece of paper I could find. Through my conversations with people, I began to realize that they didn’t know or weren’t tapped into God being ‘there’ and available for them. As I got to talk to more people and see their needs and perceptions about Jesus, those conversations began to inform my next steps and titles.”
Dr. Topjian has 17 books under her belt, and when asked if she ever imagined she would become such a prolific writer, she shared, “Dedicating myself to it. I wrote at every chance I got, even if that meant waking up at 4 am to write before everyone else in the house was up (and then needing a fair bit of coffee to get through the rest of the day). When you set a goal and are completely all-in on achieving it, you do whatever is required to make it happen.”
Dr. Topjian’s latest book titles include “Manifest It”, a general book about how to visualize and then let God bring you the manifestation (the real-life occurrence) of that thing. It is a book that informs people about this process (which is also a meditative process) and explains the benefits of engaging in this day in and day out. Her second book, “Manifest It…Now”, is about how to take steps to encourage the manifestation of what you want. Her third book, “Faith in Romantic Love”, is about how to manifest, attract and keep a romantic relationship. Finally, her fourth book, “Faith in Finances”, is about how to manifest wealth and abundance through faith.
Dr. Christine Topjian’s work is a testament to the power of faith and the importance of developing a personal relationship with God. Her books provide readers with the tools and information they need to tap into that relationship and access the solutions and beauty available in a relationship with God. Dr. Topjian said, “We were created to live out of active relationship with Jesus and to rely on Him so when we don’t, He will often allow situations to arise where we are forced to rely on Him. It’s when we don’t that people get into a lot of trouble.”
