Award-Winning Author Reveals "Prayer Secrets" Discovered During Daughter's Car Crash

Press Release/NRB 2022



Linda Evans Shepherd's "Prayers for Every Need" Leads Audiences from Difficulty to Vibrant Joy


(Longmont, Colo.) -- Linda Evans Shepherd, a national leader and best-selling prayer author of 37 books, is a woman who has not only survived life’s toughest wringers; she helps audiences find vibrant joy no matter their difficulties.


Linda’s teaching allows her audiences to see how the power of prayer can transform their emotional lives and be released into their purpose. She is well known for combining biblical wisdom and powerful storytelling to create a truth-injected atmosphere of rolling laughter.


“I love using stories as illustrations. I craft my presentations to be dynamic and interactive to lead audiences into transformative, life-changing prayer experiences with God," says Linda.


Linda’s passion for prayer began in childhood. She wanted to talk to God but didn’t know how to connect to Him. Years later, Linda became a self-proclaimed prayer detective when her daughter was injured in a car crash. Linda was determined to do all she could to reach out to God on behalf of her child.


“I learned to trust God on a deeper level as I’ve learned to see His heart for me, even in my difficult circumstances.” The prayer secrets Linda discovered fuel her messages of hope and healing.


Linda captivates her audiences with her peace, humor, and effervescent joy. Linda’s audiences receive grounded biblical teaching and hope — exchanging worry, despair, and stress as they flow into God’s love. Many report a loss of worry lines and the world’s weight as they experience the fullness of God’s peace.

Award-Winning Author and Speaker Linda Evans Shepherd

Biography


Linda Evans Shepherd is a woman who loves to say “Yes!” to God, who first surprised her with the assignment to write a book -- though her daughter was just out of coma and she still had a baby on her hip. That was 35 books ago, with her bestselling novels and prayer books receiving acclaim with multiple awards including Selah, EIA, Carol, and Christian Literary awards. Her writing continues with her latest book, Prayer for Every Need.


In her ‘mommy’ days, God surprised her again with a call to unite the Christian women authors into an online group, now called the Advanced Writers and Speakers Association (AWSA).The goal of these 800 women communicators is still, twenty years later, to encourage, train and love one another as they reach a hurting world. AWSA sponsors a yearly conference along with the Golden Scroll and the Christian Market Book Awards.


Today, God called Linda to say yes to new opportunities by birthing in her the Arise Esther Movement, the upcoming Arise Esther Virtual Conference, and Arise U; all places where the women of the church can gather online to receive the training they need to fulfill God’s call in their own lives. Linda also publishes the multiple EPA award-winning Leading Hearts Magazine, as well as Arise Daily, a daily e-devotional written by the members of AWSA.


She has written numerous books, including the best-selling Praying Through Every Emotion, When You Don’t Know What to Pray, Praying God’s Promises, and When You Need to Move a Mountain. Her prayer books have sold over a quarter of a million copies and frequently achieve the number one position on Amazon.


Linda is also a novelist, an internationally recognized speaker, and has spoken in Canada and throughout the United States and Europe. She’s shared the platform with notable speakers like Philip Yancy, Carol Kent, Patsy Clairmont, Lysa Terkurst, Chonda Pierce, Dr. Charles Stanley, Michael W. Smith, and Stormy Omartian.


Linda loves spending time with friends and family, is married to Paul and is the mother of two.
