Samford University’s Orlean Beeson School of Education will host New York Times best-selling author Charles Martin for the 11th annual Tom and Marla Corts Distinguished Author Series. Martin will share his exploration of biblical truths in his book What If It’s True?: A Storyteller’s Journey With Jesus. In his book, Martin addresses fundamental questions of faith to challenge readers to not just think differently, but live differently. Martin will be joined by friend and fellow New York Times best-selling author Patti Callahan Henry. Henry was the 10th anniversary Corts Distinguished Author and will return to introduce Martin and share insights from her new book Once Upon a Wardrobe released in October 2021.

VIP Tickets include special seating, a 5:30 reception in the foyer of Brock Recital Hall, and a VIP Book Signing with both authors, which includes a copy of Charles Martin’s book, What If It’s True?: A Storytellers Journey with Jesus and Patti Callahan’s book, Once Upon a Wardrobe.
