Dannah Gresh    

Nationally recognized expert on teen sexuality

Dannah Gresh is the author of multiple bestselling titles —including And the Bride Wore White and the recent best-selling Christian Booksellers Association youth book, Lies Young Women Believe (co-authored with Nancy Leigh DeMoss) – making her one of the most successful Christian authors targeting teens and pre-teens. She’s a great encouragement to moms and women of all ages. Her newest release, What Are You Waiting For? The One Thing No One Ever Tells You About Sex, is her best work yet.

She has long been at the forefront of the movement to encourage both tweens and teens to pursue purity and is often called upon to defend the conservative position of abstinence in national news media like USA TODAY, TIME, Chicago Tribune and Women’s Wear Daily. She is also a frequent contributor to FamilyLife Today, Midday Connection and is a recommended spokesperson on modesty by Focus on the Family. She has been a keynote speaker for Focus on the Family’s teen missions trips and cruises; and has headlined with Kay Arthur, Nancy Leigh DeMoss, John Piper and others who seek to bring the body of Christ relevant, meaty scriptural truth.

Although the volume of her ministry has been focused on helping moms to help their daughters, Dannah also ministers to women in all walks of life, as she equips them to not only be better mothers, but better wives and individuals.

Dannah lives in State College, Pennsylvania, with her husband, Bob, and their children, Robby, Lexi and Autumn whom the family adopted from China in 2007. She and her husband founded Grace Prep, a new model in Christian high school education, which Bob administrates. She is shamelessly in love with her labradoodle, Stormie.
