Julie Ann Barnhill
Bio:
Call her a 21st century Erma Bombeck
with a pleasantly skewed twist! Over 60,000
readers of her books as well as audiences that
numbers in the 10,000’s have experienced the
unleashing of her disarming wit, vulnerability
and authenticity. This “spunky, sassy, and
thought provoking” speaker challenges her
audiences to “fasten their seatbelts!” as she
dispenses the lone antidote for remaining sane
amidst life’s roller coaster ride of emotional,
financial, physical, and spiritual ups and
downs—the medicinal cure of guffaw-inducing,
jaw-aching, my stomach muscles hurt so bad,
laughter! This comedian and author will make you
laugh so hard you snort!
Julie’s passion
for books and learning has helped hone her gift
of public speaking and writing. Her quirky
style, hilarious delivery, and authentic
confessions of her own struggles and defeats
have made her a highly popular National keynote,
workshop leader, and media guest.
Her first book,
She’s Gonna Blow! Real Help for Moms Dealing
with Anger (Harvest House Publishing,
2001) is a perfect example of her speaking style
condensed into words and book format. With sales
topping 50,000 copies since its release, readers
have responded to Julie’s candid ‘been there’
battles of anger toward her children as she
shares the good, the bad, and the lavish grace
that God extends to parents everywhere.
Her second book,
Til Debt Do Us Part, (Harvest
House Publishing, 2002) brings hope and laughter
to the “financially challenged”—men and women,
husbands and wives, who just can’t seem to keep
it together for the long haul when it comes to
money, motivation, and marriage.
Julie’s third
book, Scandalous Grace, set for a
May 2004 release in conjunction with Tyndale
Publishing House, will lead women to the
audacious and preposterous reality of Divine
Grace. Grace that proclaims without reservation:
“God is crazy about you. Just as you are, warts
and all, failures and successes, regrets and
doubts! And God wants to lavish His unrestrained
and liberating grace in your life as a woman.”
Millions of
viewers saw Julie as a featured guest on
Oprah in October 2002. The program, Moms
Who Lose Control, garnered such a response
as to warrant its re-airing on December 20th
of the same year. International, national and
syndicated guest spots also include: The
Other Half with host Dick Clark, CNBC’s “PowerLunch,”
CNN World News, FOX TV Forth Worth, TX, At Home
Live! Master Control, 100 Huntley Street, The
New Harvest Show, His Place, CTN Live! and
It’s a New Day.
Radio appearances include:
National Public Radio, Janet Parshall’s America,
Midday Connection, Prime Time America, Billy
Graham’s Decision Today as well as a two-day
interview with Focus on the Family
legend, Dr. James
Dobson.
