Speaking at San Diego First Assembly

Dannah Gresh

"My favorite emotion is laughter through tears." The famous line from the 1980's movie Steel Magnolia's thoroughly captures the speaking character of best-selling author Dannah Gresh. Dannah uses a captivating blend of transparency and humor to deliver meaty Bible teaching to her audiences. One of the top selling female authors in Christian publishing, she is best known for the best-selling And the Bride Wore White and the Secret Keeper series.

She is well-traveled but has a special heart for one place on the globe -- Zambia, Africa. She calls this AIDS and poverty-ravaged nation the "home of my heart." She's developed a curriculum, which will be used in 72 Zambian government schools, reaching 100,000 African teens with the message of God's purpose for sexuality and the truth of Christ's love.

Dannah, her husband Bob, and their children Lexi and Rob live in State College, PA with their wonder dog, Stormie the Labradoodle!
