Author & Public Speaker

Eva Marie Everson

Join us this week on Christian Devotions SPEAK UP! with award-winning author and speaker Eva Marie Everson. From the time she was a little girl, Eva Marie Everson wanted to be a writer. It wasn't an easy aspiration to have; her friends told her she couldn't be a writer—girls from their town just didn't do that. They grew up to be teachers or nurses or secretaries—or wives and mothers, which is just what Eva Marie did. She went to school and became a nurse; she worked, got married, and raised children. Eva Marie Everson is an award-winning author of both fiction and nonfiction, as well as an award-winning national and international speaker. She has worked closely with Israel Ministry of Tourism to bring Christian pilgrims and journalists to The Land of the Bible. She teaches at writers conferences across the US and, in 2011, served as a adjunct professor at Taylor University in Upland, IN. Eva Marie is the president of Word Weavers International, Inc., made up of face-to-face critique chapters in the US and Canada. She is the director of Florida Christian Writers Conference, a role she shares with Mark Hancock. Eva Marie has worked with a number of publishers—and not because she is difficult to get along with. Among those she has been honored to work with are: Barbour, David C. Cook, NavPress, Baker Publishing Group, Broadman Holman, and Thomas Nelson. In 2012, B&H, along with Harbinger Media, honored Eva Marie by asking her to novelize the movie Unconditional. Eva Marie has been chosen to be a part of the Spirit of Naples Storytellers Conference, 2013. Find out more at: www.EvaMarieEversonAuthor.com.

Christian Devotions SPEAK UP! July 9

6:00 p.m. EST

Motivational Speaker, Author, and Famous Singer

LaDonna Gatlin

Join us this week on Christian Devotions SPEAK UP! when Scott chats with Gatlin Girl LaDonna as she shares how God brought her from singing fame to family fame. LaDonna Gatlin knows firsthand that we can’t live someone else’s dream … that in order to be our absolute best, we must find our own voice and “sing our own song.” She has spent her entire career empowering people to “sing their own song” as well—from the inside out—through their words, their deeds, and their actions. An active member of the National Speakers Association, LaDonna has earned its highest professional designation, the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP). In 2005, LaDonna was one of five new inductees into the Speakers Hall of Fame, receiving the prestigious Council of Peers Award for Excellence (CPAE), a lifetime award for speaking excellence and professionalism. LaDonna is a contributing writer to the best-selling book series Chicken Soup for the Soul. In her own book titled, The Song in You, Finding Your Voice, Redefining Your Life, LaDonna shares her personal story in a very transparent (often hilarious) way to craft an uplifting message. This you-can-do-it guide offers practical, emotional, and spiritual insights gleaned from her experiences as part of a famous musical family and as a woman whose faith compelled her to walk away from untold riches and fame to “sing a different song” apart from her brothers, Country Music’s legendary Gatlin Brothers. With a finely tuned voice, sharp wit, and engaging communication style crafted over a lifetime of performing, LaDonna ignites audiences to boldly discover their passion, connect with their voice, and embrace a life of purpose and meaning.
