“Live significantly!” That’s the inspiring message of Sharon Norris Elliott, award-winning author, popular speaker, astute Bible teacher, and founder/CEO of Life That Matters Ministries and AuthorizeMe®. She encourages everyone who will listen to live a life that matters. Some of her 15 published titles include:

• Didn’t See That Coming: When How They’re Living’s Not How You Raised Them

• A Woman God Can Bless

• 366 Glimpses of God: Getting to Know the God Who Knows You

• Why I Get into Trouble (the first title of her 7-book children’s series);

• Mommy Cried This Morning (Book 2 - children’s series)

• Boomerangs to Arrows: A Godly Guide for Launching Young Adult Children; and

• Power Suit: the Armor of God Fit for the Feminine Frame.

Sharon is amazed at how God’s goodness has brought her from being “Straight Outta Compton” to standing before great people and audiences. Dedicated to teaching and learning, she is a cum laude college graduate (Biola University), holder of an honorary Doctor of Divinity Degree, and member of several prestigious organizations (ACE, AWSA). Sharon is also a religious broadcaster hosting her own show, Life That Matters with Sharon Norris Elliott, and a women’s roundtable show, A View from the Upper Room, on The Holy Spirit Broadcasting Network (HSBN.tv), and the Christian Women’s Word Network (CWWN.tv). Both shows also available on Facebook Live and Spotify.

Under the Life That Matters Ministries umbrella, are her two companies. Milk & Honey Life Retreats rival any other girls’ getaway for both fun and faith enhancement. Through her AuthorizeMe® Consulting, Coaching, and Editing Firm, Sharon edits others’ work, mentors up-and-coming writers and speakers, coaches writers as they draft their manuscripts, and conducts hands-on seminars personally assisting attendees toward their publishing goals. The latest exciting growth of her AuthorizeMe® brand includes her new move to now function as a literary agent.

Sharon recently retired from classroom teaching after a distinguished and rewarding 35-year career. Those years were spent at Celeste Scott Christian School, South Bay Lutheran High School, and Orange Lutheran High School, all in Southern California. She is now able to devote herself full-time to writing, ministry, and her work as CEO of AuthorizeMe®. She and her husband James serve at Christ Second Baptist Church in Long Beach, CA. They enjoy their empty nest, travelling, and visiting their children and grandchildren.
