Lisa is the author of 17 books, including the bestselling devotional Jesus, and has written and filmed numerous Bible study curriculums, including Job: A Story of Unlikely Joy and Luke: Gut-Level Compassion. While she is grateful for every opportunity God has given her, Lisa considers her greatest accomplishment and joy becoming mom to her daughter, Missy, whom she brought home from Haiti through adoption in 2014.
