Today's podcast features a conversation with best-selling author Shaunti Feldhahn as she gears up for her appearance at the Ocean City Tabernacle this coming Sunday June 27 at the 830am & 1030am services (info at www.octabernacle.org). Feldhahn's books have sold over 3 million copies and are available in 25 languages. They include For Women Only, For Men Only, The Surprising Secrets of Highly Happy Marriages, and The Kindness Challenge.

Feldhahn received her graduate degree at Harvard University and was a Wall Street analyst prior to unexpectedly becoming a social researcher--work that her books are based upon. Her findings have been regularly featured in a wide variety of media such as The Today Show, Focus On The Family, and the New York Times.

Feldhahn was thrown an "ironic curve" recently, receiving a breast cancer diagnosis just two months after releasing Find Joy: A Devotional Journey to Unshakable Wonder in an Uncertain World. She'll share more at the Ocean City Tabernacle this weekend. You can get information about Shaunti's books, speaking engagements, and more at www.shaunti.com.

In addition, with Father's Day coming up this weekend, Victoria shares thoughts about her grandfather who passed away recently and about her father. Later in the show, Tim calls his dad Bob DeMoss Sr for a nice on-air chat complete with the dry humor, life advice, and counsel from Scripture Tim's dad is known for :).
