BIO

                               

Lisa Whelchel was born on May 29 in Littlefield, Texas.  At age 13, her first professional acting experience was as a Mouseketeer for “The New Mickey Mouse Club.”  Ms. Whelchel is perhaps best known for her starring role as Blair Warner on NBC’s “The Facts of Life”  for nine years.

Her first book, “Creative Correction” published by Tyndale House, released October 2000.  The book has sold over 140,000 copies and received a Gold Medallion Nomination in the Family and Parenting Category.

She is also the author of “The Facts of Life and Other Lessons My Father Taught Me,” “So You’re Thinking About Homeschooling,” and most recently, “The ADVENTure of Christmas.” Her fifth book, “The Busy Mom’s Guide to Prayer” is due to be released in Spring 2005.

Ms. Whelchel is married and homeschools her three children.  She feels her current role, as a wife and mother, is her greatest, and most challenging,  role yet.

 

With a goal to refresh and equip other mothers, she is the founder of MomTime Ministries and MomTime Get-A-Ways.            

testimony I became a Christian when I was ten-years-old and since that time my whole life has been about serving the Lord and sharing His love with others. Many people ask me why my life turned out so happy when many child stars have not always been as fortunate. I attribute it to the fact that when I was ten-years-old, that empty place that is in each of us was filled.  I have never felt the need to look in any other direction for happiness or contentment.

I understand how easy it could be to look to drugs, sex, alcohol, money or pleasure to fill up the emptiness inside. That's why I thank God everyday that he saved me at a young age, forgave me of my sins and kept me from walking down paths that only lead to more hurt and pain.
