Lysa TerKeurst
Lysa TerKeurst (* 1969) ist eine US-amerikanische evangelikale Bestsellerautorin, Referentin und langjährige Leiterin von Proverbs 31 Ministries. Bekannt wurde sie durch Andachten und Bücher, die praktische Lebenshilfe zu Themen wie Vergebung, emotionalem Schmerz und Beziehungsfragen bieten. Für Bibelleser bieten ihre Beiträge alltagsnahe Ermutigung, während theologische Kritiker an ihren Werken eine teils stark subjektive und psychologisierende Schriftauslegung bemängeln.
