Stephanie Grace Whitson has had books on the Evangelical Christian Publisher Association's bestseller list several times, and has also had books that were finalists for the Christy Award, ForeWord's Book of the Year, and the Inspirational Reader's Choice Award. She has five children (most of which she home-schooled - brave woman!) and two grandchildren. Her beliefs are firmly ground in the Bible, and she believes every single word is true.

C.S. Lewis is very well known for his Screwtape Letters and The Chronicles of Narnia - even more so now as the latter have been put to movie script and have shown on the big screen. I think the beauty of the Chronicles are that they are subtle, but if you are paying attention, they will also slap you in the face with the Truth. Lewis' death was, tragically, overlooked by many in the world because it was on the same day that John F. Kennedy was assassinated - November 22, 1963. He was a good friend of the author J.R.R. Tolkien, famous for his Lord of the Rings trilogy, and both worked at the notable Oxford University.

Robert Bell is one busy man. Not only is he an author and pastor, he is the featured speaker in NOOMA, has been on several speaking tours to travel the nation, released two CDs of music with his band Big Fil, and countless other things. He keeps Fridays as his strict sabbath, passing his pastorial duties to other pastors on that day and he allows no contact by electrical means. (How many of us ought to do that for our own sanity?) His speaking tours are also available on CDs and DVDs.

Max Lucado is a very successful Spiritual author and preacher. In 2005, he was named the Best Preacher in America by Reader's Digest. His books even reach The New York Times Bestseller List, proving his ability to reach more than just believers with his writing. His successes include three novels that have been winners of the Charles "Kip" Jordon Gold Medallion Christian Book of the Year. He even aided with the production of a children's show, Hermie, A Common Caterpillar.
