Christian Author
Book Laurence Stephenson for a workshop or discussion
I am a Christian author and storyteller with a heartfelt mission to share the transformative power of faith. My journey began in childhood, where my mother would craft spontaneous bedtime stories, igniting my imagination. As I grew, I too became a storyteller for my children, weaving tales that would come alive in my mind. Despite my struggles with dyslexia and a working-class background, I persevered to express my thoughts and stories through writing. My daughter once remarked, “You're a dyslexic Cockney dad; it's very hard to understand what you write.” Her honesty only fuelled my desire to share these stories, and today, I stand before you, eager to connect with fellow believers and those seeking a deeper understanding of Christianity.
I offer a fresh perspective through my Christian novels, focusing on the beauty of personal experiences and the spirituality that enriches our lives. My writings, including my featured book The Death of Levi, aim to breathe new life into age-old stories, making them accessible and engaging for everyone.
A Day with an Author
I would be thrilled to spend a day sharing my passion for storytelling with bookshops and churches. My "Day with an Author" experience includes a 30-minute session where I narrate a short story about one of the characters from my books. This interactive experience is followed by a 30-minute question-and-answer session in the bookshop's coffee shop, allowing attendees to engage directly with me.
Booking this experience is simple, and I am based in St Albans, England. For locations within an hour's travel, there are no additional costs. However, for further distances, I kindly request reimbursement for travel expenses. Together, we can create a memorable experience that brings communities closer to the heart of Christian storytelling.
Church Meetings and Seminars
My church background has greatly influenced my approach to sharing the Christian faith. After my personal testimony, I found a church community where I was spiritually awakened, and I started to listen to the Holy Spirit—a relationship I cherish deeply. As a lay preacher, I had the privilege of speaking in various settings, sharing insights on evangelism during church meetings and seminars.
I offer a talk on natural evangelism that focuses on practical advice for everyday encounters:
- Share your Christian identity.
- Engage in genuine communication.
- Avoid theological debates.
- Assess the individual's spiritual journey.
- Use language that resonates with everyone.
- Be patient and gentle.
- Approach with love and kindness.
Through these seminars, I aim to inspire others to share their faith in a relatable and accessible way, encouraging a deeper connection with Jesus Christ.
