Laurel Appel

Laurel Appel helps believers rest in the finished work of Christ and discover the freedom that comes from knowing who they already are in Him.

​

Through her books, Bible studies, and devotional writing, Laurel encourages Christians to step away from fear, striving, and performance-based faith and embrace the radical grace of God. Her teaching combines sound biblical insight with relatable stories, practical encouragement, and a refreshing reminder that God's love is not earned—it is received.

​

A Bible teacher for more than twenty-five years, Laurel is the author of Radical Grace: Live Free and Unashamed and Fortify Your Faith: Building an Unshakable Foundation of Radical Grace, Brick by Brick. Her first book received a Gold Medal from the Illumination Book Awards and was recognized as a finalist in the National Indie Excellence Awards.

​

Laurel and her husband, Phillip, have been married for more than three decades and live in North Carolina. Together they enjoy family, ministry, and the simple pleasures of life. When she's not writing, you'll likely find her tending her garden, painting, enjoying coffee on the back deck, or spending time with her granddaughters.

​

Her greatest passion is helping people see themselves the way God sees them—fully loved, fully accepted, and complete in Christ.
