From her personal experience chronicled in her book
Godsight, Lael knows that we can live with a passion for Truth rather
than a passion for the Truth-Maker as a person. She writes
and speaks to strengthen both our beliefs in God and our
desires for God.
Lael earned a master's degree (MAT) in the history of ideas
from the University of Texas at Dallas, and has taught
Western culture and apologetics at secular and Christian
schools and colleges.
But living with rheumatoid arthritis for over twenty-five
years and as a pastor’s wife for almost fifteen has given
her a desire to move not just minds, but hearts with the
beauty of God and His kingdom.
Lael’s newest venture is co-hosting a Sunday morning program
on a Houston talk radio station, AM700 KSEV. Together with
Rick Davis, she offers a Christian voice in discussions with
skeptics and people from a wide range of faiths about
The Things That Matter Most.
Lael has authored three books,
Godsight (Crossway Books, 2005),
Pilgrim’s Progress Today (NavPress 2002), and
Worldproofing Your Kids (Crossway Books, 1997). She has contributed writings and
stories to numerous other books, among them,
What We’ve Learned So Far (Cook, 2004).
Lael’s writing has also been featured in
Focus on the Family and World magazines, and she has appeared on many national radio and television
programs, including
Family Life Today with Dennis Rainey,
HomeLife, and Janet Parshall's
America.
Lael and her husband, Jack, make their home among the azaleas
and dogwoods of the northwest Houston area and are delighted
when their grown son, Zach, drops in for a visit. She enjoys
working with her church's worship planning and evangelism
teams and has recruited other Women Who Read* for biweekly
discussions at the local college library.
