About Anna Carter Florence:

Anna Carter Florence has a special gift from God to let the text speak it gospel truth among us. She does so through a mix of imagination, daring, fidelity, and shrewdness. Her words will lead and empower the rest of us for the sake of our vocation.
- Walter Brueggemann

With keen insight and a rich background in theater, Anna Carter Florence brings an artist's eye to the interpretation of scripture. She navigates with equal skill both scripture's breathtaking white water and its peaceful coves. Her passionate engagement with the Bible always generates fresh ideas.
- Thomas G. Long
