Poppy Smith

Poppy Smith was born in England and grew up there and in Sri Lanka, Singapore and Kenya. She met her American husband in Nairobi and they moved to the United States shortly after they were married. The adjustment to her new marriage and new country, combined with loneliness and loss of all that was familiar, brought Poppy to a defining moment with God. The resulting change, from anger to acceptance, from fighting God to seeking Him, led her into a life-long love of the Bible and the One it reveals.

Poppy is a nationally and internationally recognized author and speaker. Her books include Go For It: Make Your Life Count for God; Reaching Higher: Ten dynamic truths from Abraham that will transform your life; I'm Too Human to be Like Jesus; I'm Too Young to be This Old (bestseller), and Why Can't He be More Like Me? Her Bible studies include Wisdom for Today's Woman: Insights from Esther; and Speaking Wisely: Exploring the Power of Words.
