About the Author :
Rarely are the terms "hilarious storyteller" and "theologian" used in the same sentence--much less to describe the same person--but Lisa Harper is definitely not stereotypical! She has an earned doctorate from Houston Theological Seminary, has published extensively, and teaches the Bible around the world, but she's also a frequent belly laugher. She describes her greatest accomplishment as being Missy's mom through the miracle of adoption, followed closely by learning to wake surf in her sixties.

Her books, including Taste and See and Fight Back With Joy, along with their corresponding Bible studies, have sold more than one million copies and received critical acclaim and national media coverage from the Associated Press, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, and more. She was named by Christianity Today as one of fifty women most shaping culture and the church today. Margaret savors life with her husband, Leif, and their superpup, Zoom.
