Hi, friend! This post is dedicated to 7 incredible Christian authors you may not know about but need to! It takes a lot of hard work to write a book but to get it published? We need to champion our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ for these accomplishments! Under each author, there is a link to their book, Instagram, and website if they have one. Be sure to check them out, say hello, give them a follow, and maybe buy their book! I had the pleasure of having each one of these authors on the Bless It or Block It Podcast!

Noah is based out of Atlanta, Georgia with his wife, Maddy and their Goldendoodle, Mogley. During quarantine in 2020, Noah wrote a book titled, Viral Jesus, that is real, raw, hilarious, and super convicting. This book is in my top 5 Christian books for a heart posture check. Also, you will agree with me that Noah is officially team captain for Chick-fil-A. You can find Noah on Instagram at @noahherrin and also his podcast, All Our Ways, wherever you listen to podcasts.

4. Lauren Kinney

Lauren is an author, blogger, and speaker based in Arlington, Texas. She enjoys dancing at concerts, watching baseball, and playing with her Labradoodle. She is the author of UNSHAKEABLE. Her college experience didn’t go like she expected. Instead of lifelong friends, social stuff every weekend, and a new bff roommate, she found herself lonely, afraid, and overwhelmed by anxiety.
