Hi, I'm Susie Larson. Thanks for listening to this podcast for Middays with Susie Larson.

It's only just a matter late. Hello and welcome to Middays with Susie Larson. Glad to have you listening today. I am Susie Larson, and this is a special edition of Middays, where I'm highlighting some of my favorite guests of 2020 so far. This week, during our live show, we are in the midst of our spring

Well, over the next hour, you'll hear some of the parts of some of the best conversations of 2020 so far.

Lisa Bevere is always an amazing guest. I spoke with her about her book, Strong,

Devotions to Live a Powerful and Passionate Life. Max Licato, another great favorite. His book is amazing.

Jesus, the God, who knows your name.

Alicia Britt Scholle is also one of my favorites. Her book is titled 40 Days of Decrease,

a different kind of hunger, a different kind of fast. But first, another one of my new favorites.

These are all my favorites. This one, Andrew Peterson. We talked about a book series that he wrote,

also about his faith journey and his life in music and writing.

Absolutely amazing.

Let's listen in.

I watch an interview with you, and you referenced a Chesterton quote, and I think he said

something like fairy tales don't prove that dragons exist.

They prove that dragons can be beaten.

I want you to talk about how that idea really does fuel some of your creativity.

It does.

I've thought a lot about this, and I take very seriously the idea that I'm writing these

stories for families and for kids.
