Vaneetha Risner

I’m passionate about helping people find hope in their suffering. All my books: the Bible Study, Desperate For Hope, my memoir, Walking Through Fire, and my devotional, The Scars That Have Shaped Me, encourage people to turn to Christ in their pain. My story includes childhood bullying, losing an infant son, developing post-polio syndrome, and going through an unwanted divorce. Some of my greatest joys are being a wife to Joel and a mother to Katie and Kristi and you can find me embarrassing them in Raleigh, NC. I write regularly for Desiring God, and have been featured on Family LifeToday, Joni & Friends, and Christianity Today.
