tennis playing, Facebook fanatic. Her ultimate desire, though, is to know God by knowing his Word. As a veteran Bible teacher and sought-after women’s retreat and conference speaker, she shares that passion with others. LeAnne and her husband, Ron, live in Johnson City, Tennessee, with their two teenagers, Spencer and Averie.
