Dr. Dan Allender is one of the keenest voices of the past 25 years on finding healing from sexual abuse.

He also believes that to engage the life of God, you have to be engaged with the people around you, your own life, and the live of Jesus (and the scriptures) to find the meaning in the story of our lives.

Dr. Steve Brown really does not care what you think. He is not your mother, your guru or the Holy Spirit. But if you are wise, you will pay attention to this man and what he says. Seriously, if for no other reason than he is the Johnny Appleseed of grace.

The founder of the Keylife Network (Keylife.org), says  he’s no guru, but he has been something of a guru to me.

Steve is the Johnny Appleseed of grace, since he was writing, taking and preaching about grace, real grace, the kind without a hook in it, decades before most were considering it as an option.

He is the author of 18 books, including his latest, “Hidden Agendas: Dropping the Masks That Keep Us Apart,” “Three Free Sins,” “Scandalous Freedom,” and one of the best books on prayer in our generation, “Approaching God.”

He is host of the radio programs, heard on more than 600 stations,  “Steve Brown, etc,” and “Key Life” and the “You Think About That” radio spots of hope and encouragement. 

He also smokes a pipe and reads Stephen King and doesn’t care who he offends because he’s not looking for a new job.

Susan Isaacs is an actress, author, and I believe the only non-animated member of the Western Branch of American Reform Presbylutheranism, and she has a cold.She has appeared on “Parks & Recreation,” “Seinfeld,” “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Aire,” “Mom,” “My Name is Earl,” and dozens of other television shows and movies. (Including “Scrooged" and in s a nicely framed picture of her in the hands of John Candy in “Planes, Trains and Automobiles.” He scenes with the great one were cut.) She is also a writer and the Author, of "Angry conversations with God, a Snarky but Authentic Spiritual Memoir."If you haven’t read her book, stop waiting for it to go on sale on Kindle and buy it.

Pamela Hawkins has written more acclaimed books on the Advent season, which starts next week, than anyone in recent history.

She is also a retired pastor who works with immigrants and believes there's hope in the world adn that prayer is important.

Prepare for Advent but listening to her and checking out her book.
