MK Lynn is an industrial security professional with over twenty-five years of experience partnering with executive teams of Fortune 500 companies. MK holds a MS in Security Administration and a BA in the Management of Human Resources. Moreover, she is both a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), and a Certified Protection Professional (CPP). MK began her career as a law enforcement officer in Detroit, MI, and after multiple career progressions, she ultimately accepted a private sector position focusing on Crime Prevention. MK is a wife and the mother of an amazing daughter. When she's not designing and reviewing systems for safety and security, MK spends her time reading, cooking, golfing, and conducting warrior princess exploits. MK explains that she was inspired to write the book because she witnessed people going through some of the same difficult circumstances she faced involving marriage, children, careers, etc., and she jokes about Carpet Fit for A King being the cheat sheet on how to come out on the other side, so to speak.

MK Lynn blends her faith journey with reassuring biblical teachings and offers practical wisdom for personal and business growth in her work Carpet Fit for a King. Growing up in a family business, Lynn learned the value of business ownership from her father. Later, she left her leadership role at a global Fortune 500 retail company and started a carpet mill business with her husband. Lynn chronicles her journey of faith and the lessons she gleaned while running the business. The work also draws insights from other life-defining events including Lynn’s husband’s life-threatening medical emergency, the couple’s move from Michigan to California, a real estate meltdown, their leaving formal jobs, and the 2008 economic recession and its impact on business.
While covering these events, the work pauses and evaluates each of them from a biblical standpoint. The result is a book packed with many faith lessons that can be applied in personal, business, and career life. The work challenges its audience to apply faith in their lives and not just rely on worldly systems. I loved how each experience included is matched with a corresponding verse or teaching. I also found the couple’s resilience inspiring and learned from their experiences which include taking risks and refusing to give up despite facing daunting obstacles throughout their lives. The exploration of what the term 'kingdom' means in a biblical context is eye-opening. Carpet Fit for a King by MK Lynn is an enlightening work with actionable faith-based lessons for daily living.
