Q: How many children do John and Lisa have?
A: They have four boys: Addison, Austin, Alec, and Arden. The boys have very different personalities but share many qualities of their parents. John and Lisa’s prayer for their sons is that they go further and farther than they have ever imagined, and touch things in the natural that have only been seen in the Spirit.
Q: How did John and Lisa get started writing books? Can they connect me with an agent, write the foreword for my book, or endorse my book?

Due to their current commitments, John and Lisa are unable to accommodate personal requests regarding writing or publishing.
