So Nice to Meet You!

I’m Julie Gillies, and I write books to encourage the weary, the overwhelmed, the anxious, and the uncertain. I love to ease those carrying heavy loads by connecting minds and hearts to the powerful truth of God’s Word and praying Scripture-based prayers together.

After a childhood marked by trauma and neglect, my heart and life have been healed and transformed by the power of the gospel. I’m so grateful that Jesus is greater than our past. He’s greater than our current circumstances and is, remarkably, always in the fire with us. Knowing Him, knowing God’s Word, and praying in simple faith have radically transformed my life…and transformed me.

So naturally, trusting God, walking by faith, discovering the encouragement that being immersed in Scripture brings, and praying simple prayers of faith, are among the themes woven through each of my books.

Most days find me caring for my granddaughter, chopping vegetables in the kitchen, taking long walks while listening to podcasts, or birdwatching in our southern Georgia backyard with my husband. I enjoy baking from scratch, hosting company for home cooked meals, and gazing in wonder at all of God’s creation wherever I go.
