About Me

David Foster’s passion for communicating the authentic is obvious in his books.The latest Accept No Mediocre Life (Warner Faith) follows in the footsteps of Foster’s critically acclaimed The Power To Prevail: Turning Adversities Into Advantages.. In his new book Foster boldly issues the challenge for his readers to look beyond the labels life has placed upon them with to find the authentic person of excellence that God has placed within.Foster speaks the language of the world fluently—having lived in it for years as a Christian who, as he candidly noted recently, “totally missed the message of hope in Christ.” A re-focus of his commitment to Christ at 18 led him ultimately to pursue his college training at Free Will Baptist College in Nashville, and his theological training at Mid-America Seminary in Memphis.Foster went on to earn a doctorate in communications from Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi where he studied under renowned author and theologian R.C. Sproul.Not surprisingly—as in his ministry and books—David Foster in person is larger than life—a man upon first meeting obviously filled with the color, passion, and authenticity he preaches. Passion for life, for God, for reaching people and transforming lives in the real world in which we live. That, quite simply, is the heartbeat of David Foster. David and Paula Foster make their home outside Nashville and are the parent of three children-- daughters—Erin, Lindsay, and Paige.
