Julie Rayburn is a Christian author and speaker. Her passion is to encourage and inspire the application of Biblical truth. Julie has co-authored six women s devotional books by Barbour Publishing. Her newest devotional book, "Be Still and Know .365 Devotions for Abundant Living", is based on a journal her mother kept the last year of her life. This book is not about death, but about living the abundant Christian life now. Her mother possessed clear spiritual focus the last year of her life. Julie hopes that these spiritual truths will be passed on to the next generation. We all desperately yearn for peace in the midst of life s challenges. When we are still before the Lord, meditating on scripture, He imparts spiritual truth. We can experience abundant living when we apply those truths to our everyday lives. May you be inspired to follow her mother s example! Julie has also been a featured speaker at women s retreats and special events for over 25 years. She has served as Teaching Director and Area Director for Community Bible Study. Julie continues to work part-time as a surgical nurse at an orthopedic outpatient surgery center.
