Writer and author Kate Battistelli is headlining this year’s Circles Luncheon. Kate’s books, The God Dare: Will You Choose to Believe the Impossible? and Growing Great Kids: Partner With God to Cultivate His Purpose in Your Child’s Life, have inspired and encouraged people across generations. Kate speaks to groups across the United States sharing her passion and her challenge to others of discovering how God has purpose for their lives!

In addition to writing, Kate cooks and chronicles life’s most real moments with her iPhone. Married to Mike for 37 years, she’s also mom to Grammy-winning recording artist Francesca Battistelli and Mimi to Franny’s five children. Before giving her life to God, Kate acted and sang in the New York Broadway musical theatre world, touring for nearly three years in the Broadway National Tour of The King and I playing Anna opposite Yul Brynner as the King.
