More About the Author

I'm a Christian author and motivational speaker on a mission to empower people to maximize their lives for maximum Kingdom impact.

I'm an obsessive compulsive. My obsession? The Kingdom. It's all about advancing the Kingdom. My consuming passion is motivating the church to get up out of the stinkin' pews and into the world. Honestly, I don't even care what you do. Just leave the building, people! Leave the building!

Just because He can, God has enabled me to write a bunch of bestselling Christian books that have sold almost a million copies on all seven continents. Yep, even made it to Antarctica. With titles like This Isn't the Life I Signed Up For, you can understand why I'm more popular with actual hurting people than the big-shots who run the show in Christiandom.

People ask how I landed in ministry. Here's how it went down. The angels were having a bad week and God knew they needed a good laugh. He spotted me living in a trailer off the New Jersey Turnpike and smiled from ear-to-ear. "Hey, everybody, watch this. I'm going to give this woman a worldwide ministry!" Rumor has it the angels laughed for a month. I'm on the planet for one reason: to demonstrate that God has absolutely no standards. He'll take anybody in. If you are willing to turn your life over to God, no matter what a mess you've made, he will astound a watching world with what he can do.

When people leave my conferences, I don't want them to say, "Wow, what a remarkable woman. I could never be like her." I want them to say, "If I had known the standards for being used in the Kingdom were that low, I would have signed up years ago."

I've done hundreds of radio and TV shows. I've spoken at the CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virgina twice. I've done three conferences on women's entrepreneurship for Senator John McCain (neat guy, lovely wife, btw).I've shared the platform with lots of Christian celebrities, but what I really love is ministering to the homeless, alcoholics, drug addicts and battered women alongside the Salvation Army and urban ministries around the world. Or sharing the gospel on crowded street corners in South America. I absolutely love, love, love the Middle East and have a ministry called Pieces4Peace which reaches into the largest Muslim city in the world.

Even though I fried my brain on cocaine, apparently enough cells survived to enable me to maintain a 4.0 at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Arts & Sciences and Wharton Business School. I hold a B.A. in English (with a very practical emphasis on 17th Century British literature) from Rutgers University.

This review is from: Becoming the Woman I Want to Be: A 90-Day Journey to Renewing Spirit, Soul, & Body (Christian Softcover Originals) (Paperback)

This title is excellent in that it address the tri-partite man challenging a spirit of excellence in spirit, soul and body. The weekly scripture memorizations together with exercises and affirmations for practical application are wonderful challenges for the mind. These, coupled with the physical exercises, are great tools and goals to become the Woman God desires of each of us. I appreciate the way each day begins first with feeding the spirit man with a scripture for memorization, followed by the intellectual affirmations and finally exercises to train the body. This title is highly recommended.

This review is from: Becoming the Woman I Want to Be: A 90-Day Journey to Renewing Spirit, Soul, & Body (Christian Softcover Originals) (Paperback)

This is a great book. I had a problem with certain friends and they were making me sick I really didnt know what to do anymore. I would pray and pray about it. I woul dget so envovled in how "I" was going to handle it but through these pages of this book I have found such peace through the scripture and leaving it in God's hands. I really enjoy the personal writing of a prayer everyday. I feel its like writing a letter to God every morning. The eating is great too. I have to admit at first it is hard to not eat some of the foods your use to but over the days you will not want to eat those things .They dont taste good anymore. I am not all the way through my journey but I sure like how Ive changed. I am not anxious as I was before and I find peace with those Ive had problems with. Thank You Donna. Im excited to read more of your books. Its so amazing how you hit the things that are like what I go through and have been through:) God Bless
