James Banks (D.Min, Gordon-Conwell) makes his home in Durham, North Carolina, with his wife, Cari, where James is the founding pastor of Peace Church. James's adventure with writing started in 4th grade when his teacher discovered it was a great way to keep him out of trouble! He loves to encourage others to draw close to God through heartfelt prayer and fresh insight from Scripture. James's books have been translated into many languages and have touched the lives of over half a million people. They include Prayers for Prodigals, Praying the Prayers of the Bible, Prayers for Your Children, Peace Through Prayer, Hope Lies Ahead (which he co-wrote with his son Geoffrey), and others. You can find teaching from James through Our Daily Bread University's popular Prayer Basics series and the Praying with Jesus DVD. James is featured weekly on the Encouraging Prayer radio broadcast and podcast and is a much-loved speaker for churches and retreats. You can find out more about what James is up to lately by visiting JamesBanks.org.
As a "third-culture kid" (parents from one culture who raised him in another), Tim Gustafson attended eight different schools in his first nine years of schooling, plus a "semester at sea" that comprised first grade. His adoptive parents were missionaries who traveled several times by ship. The penchant for traveling didn't stop with adulthood, and it's served him well as he continues his career as a writer and editor. A military veteran of three deployments, Tim and his wife, Leisa, have eight children—seven of whom are boys—and a granddaughter.
Xochitl (So-Cheel) E. Dixon, Our Daily Bread and God Hears Her writer, is a disabled Mexican author and speaker who is passionate about spiritual growth, discipleship, and prayer. Serving Jesus with her beautifully diverse family and service dog, Callie, Xochitl contributed to Tyndale's NLT Go Bible for Kids and is the author of Waiting for God: Trusting Him for the Answers to Every Prayer, Sacred Strides: Walking in the Power and Presence of the Holy Spirit, What Color is God's Love?, Wonderfully, Marvelously Brown, and the 2021 ECPA Christian Book Award Finalist, Different Like Me.
