Through engaging and memorable true stories--both biblical and modern--author Kate Battistelli challenges and encourages you to discover how God has specifically designed you for this time in history, your place in the world, your role in His cosmic plan.

Kate Battistelli is an author, speaker, former actress/singer in the New York Broadway musical world and mother of GRAMMY award-winning Contemporary Christian recording artist Francesca Battistelli. Kate's goal is to see you be all God has created you to be, and she truly believes each of us is here to change the world. It's how she raised her only child and it's her primary purpose in writing The God Dare.

She loves to speak about The God Dare, share Bridging the Generation Gap workshops in church and conference settings, and letting Jesus pick your future. She is a natural encourager and believes in your ability to change the world, even if you don't!

She recently moved to Franklin, TN to be closer to Francesca's growing family. She's been married to her husband Mike for thirty-four years and loves being near her daughter, son-in-law and four amazing grandchildren.
