Jennifer Lyell

Jennifer Lyell has had the honor of teaching the Bible to women, teens, and children of all ages and in both the United States and overseas. While she is grateful for the opportunity to open God's Word anytime she's given the opportunity, teaching children eclipses it all and is the most enriching and joy-filled experience in her life. Jennifer considers teaching and discipleship her primary calling from God, but a love for books and the written word has permeated her life since a small child, so her passion for biblically faithful and personally engaging children's books runs deep. In addition to her teaching ministry, Jennifer served for more than a decade as book publisher for LifeWay Christian Resources. The hundreds of titles that the book publishing team acquired, developed or managed under Jennifer’s leadership included more than a dozen New York Times bestsellers, as well as multiple Christianity Today Book of the Year winners. Jennifer holds a Master of Divinity Degree from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, which is good because she has been asked questions by preschoolers that she wouldn’t have been able to answer without it! Jennifer is an often off-the-path hiker who is always happy when adventuring (just like a child!).
