Are you truly willing to risk everything?

In Believing Jesus, Bible teacher and author Lisa Harper retraces the steps of the apostles in the Book of Acts, while sharing a few of her own adventurous experiences along the way. The disciples didn't have much of a road map after Jesus ascended to heaven, but God's grace and spirit filled in the gaps as they moved forward. It required their willingness to risk everything to establish a new community that would change the future world.

As a regular speaker on the Women of Faithยฎ tour, Lisa has earned a reputation as a true theological scholar and hilarious storytellerโ€”not necessarily in that order! Best-selling author and pastor Max Lucado calls Lisa one of the โ€œbest Bible tour guides around.โ€

Believing Jesus will highlight both of Lisa's strengths as she tackles every chapter of the Book of Acts with biblical wisdom and modern wit. Lisa keeps it real, telling stories on herself and pointing readers back to Jesus, the only one who can truly lead.

About the Author

Rarely are the terms โ€œhilarious storytellerโ€ and โ€œtheologianโ€ used in the same sentenceโ€”much less to describe the same personโ€”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 sheโ€™s also a frequent belly laugher. She describes her greatest accomplishment as being Missyโ€™s mom through the miracle of adoption, followed closely by learning to wake surf in her sixties.
