Barbara was introduced to the "be nice," "don't hurt anyone's feeling's," "keep the peace at all costs" god at an early age. She discovered in her early 30's, however, that this god could not help her when her dreams for life were crushed, thrusting her into a world she didn't know or want to go. Thankfully the Real God of the Bible intervened and revolutionized her thinking, saved her life physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually and set her on a path toward wholeness she never dreamed possible. Comments from those who have heard Barbara speak: "You spoke from your heart and touched mine," "Barbara's honesty, openness and warmth make her someone I can relate to." "She has encouraged me to follow through on a dream the Lord gave me." "Barbara always makes me laugh...and cry...and think." "Her wit and wisdom are inspiring."
