“Laura Gallier is an effective Christian communicator. She tackles the tough and often controversial issue of abstinence education with wit and insight.”
Michael Ridgeway

Senior Associate Editor
“Laura Gallier has been greatly used by God to communicate a critical message in a crucial season in American history. We have benefited at Champion Forest Baptist Church as Laura has conducted parent workshops for our members. She has also connected with our students on a personal level to convey the purity message that brings honor to God and lifts up the standard of morality. Her books have been a tremendous blessing as well to all.
“I highly recommend Laura to you. She will add value to your group, team, church or event. She speaks effectively in Baptist churches as well as across denominational lines to impart truth with clarity, conviction and compassion.”
Dr. Stephen Trammell
Executive Pastor
Champion Forest Baptist Church
“Laura has a clear, compelling message to parents and students alike. We recommend her to every parent at Lake Pointe Church for insights on how to discuss purity with their adolescent son or daughter.”

“I have spent many hours talking with Laura, reading her books, and have heard from her heart the passion she brings to the important subject of purity. Her particular skill comes with her unique connection of bringing the responsibility of purity right to the doorstep of the parents. Simply put, she is relevant and authentic yet powerful and dynamic. You will love her.”
Denny Pattyn
President/Founder
Silver Ring Thing
“Laura’s story blended with her honesty and spiritual foundation to help our students, even some who are not believers, to connect her message of sex and faith together! Her heart to see students embrace purity, coupled with her love for Jesus, communicated His goodness to all who had a chance to hear her on a campus that is less than embracing of traditional Christian values.”

Rice University and The Texas Medical Center
“Our sexual purity series has been phenomenal for our Student Ministry team, and the addition of Laura’s parent talks took that to a new level for us.”
Jeff Skipper
Student Ministry Pastor
Champion Forest Baptist church
“Laura shares from her heart with a genuine interest for both the parent and the student. Her talks are biblically based and practical which provides a unique combination of wisdom and relevance for her audience. The timely issue of purity in our personal lives and culture needs addressing with these characteristics, and Laura does it very well.”
David Upchurch
Associate Pastor to Young Marrieds
Champion Forest Baptist Church
“Laura’s honest and open sharing of her own story connected with both parents and students. She is a dynamic speaker and applies biblical principles to the difficult topic of teenage purity and sexuality in a way that teens can relate to. We have also had small groups of parents use her materials, and they found them extremely informative and helpful.”
Larry Womack
Senior Pastor
Copperfield Church
“Parents who participated in Laura’s workshop gave raving reviews, not only of the material presented, but also how equipped they felt to have sex-related discussions with their kids. Laura has proven to be both theologically sound and excellent in communication skills. I highly recommend Laura as a church resource for parent training, student ministry speaking opportunities and purity conferences.”

We just hosted Laura’s parent workshop entitled ” Beginning the Path to Purity: A workshop for Parents of Elementary-aged Children.” Laura was so awesome. She has a great passion and is an amazing presenter. I was a little unsure of how our parents with young children would respond to her message. Everyone went away so convinced of the importance of teaching our youngest children about God’s plan for marriage and relationships. Laura equipped our parents to be intentional about teaching God’s plan for purity at an early age without having to get into the mechanics of sex. She has so much to offer every parent. One of my parents wrote: “Whether you have a 4-year-old or 24-year-old, everyone can benefit from what Laura had to say.” I am already getting requests from our parents to have her back soon.

“I had the privilege of meeting Laura Gallier when she spoke at St. James Lutheran School in Chicago. As an expert and author in her field, Laura drew interest, not only from our school community, but also the surrounding neighborhood. Laura is an excellent speaker. She has an amazing ability to combine statistics, medical data and biblical principles with humor and passion. Her thoughtful approach provides the much-needed tools for teaching premarital sexual abstinence. Laura truly has a gift in communicating. I highly recommend inviting Laura to speak at your next program.”
Steve Cortes
CNBC Commentator & member of St. James Lutheran
“Laura is one of the most effective speakers we’ve ever had on the topic of abstinence. She has the amazing ability to connect with people of all ages and stages of life. She presents a message of truth that is filled with hope and encouragement without any guilt or shame attached.”
Josef Klam
Pastor of Student Ministry
Chapelwood United Methodist Church
“Gifted, relational, personable, factual. These all describe Laura Gallier and the ministry for which God has called her. She has been given an amazing ability to relate the simple truths of God’s Word in relation to purity both clearly and convincingly, as well as lovingly and honestly. She joined our ministry for the first time this summer, and we were amazingly blessed.”
Dan Brown

“Laura Gallier is an absolute treat. She speaks the truth in love and humility, and can capture the attention of any audience. Tough messages about sex and dating are sometimes hard to digest, but Laura brings the truth in a way that is honest and palatable, with a dash of humor and abundance of joy! I am positive that your church or ministry will be blessed by her presence.”

“I read this book ["Why Wait?"] in like one week! Even though I’ve had sex before, I now realize that I don’t have to continue in that lifestyle. I am so excited for my future now, and I thank God for this book.”

“I recently got a copy of “Why Wait?” for my teenagers. I read through it- it is an amazing book! I wish I could have read it 17 years ago. When my oldest daughter is done reading, I’m going to pass it to my 13-year-old. Thank you so much for writing this book!”
Misty
Mother of two
Houston, Texas
“We are finishing the book [Why Wait?] today, in our Sunday school jr. achievers class, and the girls want more! They have all requested that we keep on this track of learning. It was such a surprise. This book and the parent guide made it so easy to teach. The girls range in age from 11-15. This book is easy to read and they want to read it. My thought is WOW in a word!”
