Ms. Murphy’s engagement with the community also includes serving as Community Engagement Director for the Mississippi Book Festival, Mississippi’s literary lawn party. When Ms. Tonja Murphy is not serving the community, she is using her voice—and her pen—to empower others to become their best selves. Through books, workshops, and authentic storytelling, she shares tools to inspire personal growth, faith, and purpose. Her most recent release, His Bread For Me, is a heartfelt devotional that offers daily encouragement, scripture, and reflection to nourish the soul and strengthen faith through life’s everyday moment. Her writing has been featured in a variety of publications including The Clarion-Ledger, Mississippi Christian Living, Portico Jackson Magazine, and Woman to Woman with Joanne Magazine. A lifelong advocate for education and families, Ms. Murphy was named Parent of the Year for the Jackson Public School District in 2012 and was a finalist for the Mississippi State Parent of the Year. Her leadership and service have been highlighted in the Jackson Free Press, WLBT’s Mississippi Strong segment, and the inaugural edition of Who’s Who in Black Mississippi. She is also a recipient of the Community Impact Award from Butterflies by Grace Defined by Faith, an honorable mention for the Governor’s Initiative on Volunteer Service Award, and a formal resolution from the City of Jackson recognizing her outstanding service to the community. Ms. Murphy holds a bachelor’s degree from Jackson State University and earned both her master’s and doctorate degrees from New Foundation Theological Seminary. She is a graduate of Leadership Greater Jackson, the Business Advantage for Professionals Program at Millsaps College, and the Advanced Applied Leadership Program in the Else School of Business at Millsaps. She is also a proud fellow of the Change Collective, a national leadership program for emerging changemakers committed to building stronger communities. *Photo by Chelsea Renea Photography https://www.tonjamurphy.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-04-28 https://www.tonjamurphy.com/shop daily 0.75 2023-04-28 https://www.tonjamurphy.com/shop/p/fridayfire monthly 0.5 2025-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99abff1266e2067291b9ea/3dab161b-7ae6-4d49-9cf6-910652f82b53/mockup-of-a-paperback-book-standing-over-another-one-3440-el1+%281%29.png Tonja's Bookstore - Friday Fire: Ignite Your Day in 90 Seconds https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99abff1266e2067291b9ea/d5b62c07-66ee-4981-aafb-6a9e393a9bfb/hardcover-book-mockup-featuring-an-ai-generated-table-with-a-plant-pot-and-a-mug-m38114%2B%25281%2529.png Tonja's Bookstore - Friday Fire: Ignite Your Day in 90 Seconds https://www.tonjamurphy.com/shop/p/his-bread-for-me-from-dawn-through-the-day monthly 0.5 2025-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99abff1266e2067291b9ea/1682701819960-6DLNRWC1Q3KS832EJ0SA/image_6487327.JPG Tonja's Bookstore - His Bread For Me: From Dawn Through The Day https://www.tonjamurphy.com/shop/p/coveredtogrow monthly 0.5 2025-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99abff1266e2067291b9ea/1613501671429-9OKWYY4LEIFTEZC73UXW/Covered+to+Grow-PROOF2.jpg Tonja's Bookstore - Covered to Grow: A 21 Day Prayer Journal https://www.tonjamurphy.com/shop/p/blessedthirteen-fhbkp monthly 0.5 2020-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99abff1266e2067291b9ea/1591906959183-HMINP1CBJFE55VE1P9QU/In+God%27s+Hands+-+Book+Cover.png Tonja's Bookstore - In God's Hands https://www.tonjamurphy.com/shop/p/maria monthly 0.5 2025-08-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99abff1266e2067291b9ea/1597954605270-H74GD95HEKIT8MRV0FF1/Maria%27s+Brave+Walk+Home+no+background.png Tonja's Bookstore - Maria’s Brave Walk Home https://www.tonjamurphy.com/shop/p/blessedthirteen-6p535 monthly 0.5 2026-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99abff1266e2067291b9ea/ae3e28b6-c6d1-4308-bebd-b7ee035d7d8a/Icing%25252525252Bon%25252525252Bthe%25252525252BCupcake%25252525252BAnniversary%25252525252BBookCover6x9_FINAL%25252525252B%252525252525281%25252525252529.jpg Tonja's Bookstore - Icing on the Cupcake: A Short Story Collection - Icing%252525252Bon%252525252Bthe%252525252BCupcake%252525252BAnniversary%252525252BBookCover6x9_FINAL%252525252B%2525252525281%252525252529.jpg https://www.tonjamurphy.com/shop/p/blessedthirteen-474af monthly 0.5 2025-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99abff1266e2067291b9ea/1590683662811-B7YQQWHQZKR0LO6B768N/Growing+Through+Prayer+Cover.png Tonja's Bookstore - Growing Through Prayer: A 17 Week Prayer Journal https://www.tonjamurphy.com/shop/p/blessedthirteen-ckkxz monthly 0.5 2025-08-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99abff1266e2067291b9ea/1590683511417-BJH6SX151CJZO0VC5H00/The_Lost_Coin_Cover_for_Kindle+%281%29.png Tonja's Bookstore - The Lost Coin https://www.tonjamurphy.com/shop/p/blessedthirteen-r9c6m-kkhbm monthly 0.5 2023-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99abff1266e2067291b9ea/1590683121498-OBMR10KP6Z2BFUWHTJPL/Lunch+Buddies.png Tonja's Bookstore - Lunch Buddies https://www.tonjamurphy.com/shop/p/blessedthirteen-r9c6m monthly 0.5 2025-08-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99abff1266e2067291b9ea/1590682889089-TNX6O6ZG4T2T8M8HHK96/The+Congressman%27s+Daughter+Cover+%281%29.png Tonja's Bookstore - The Congressman's Daughter https://www.tonjamurphy.com/shop/p/blessedthirteen monthly 0.5 2025-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e99abff1266e2067291b9ea/1587583711602-LBRHVPPB609EMKIJMRI1/Blessed+Thirteen+Cover+2020.png Tonja's Bookstore - Blessed Thirteen: Lessons From A Ladybug
