Julie K. Gillies

Hello and Welcome!

If you’re new here, I’m Julie K. Gillies. My goal is to help believers navigate real life with Christ through Scripture and prayer.

I’m a praying woman—not because I’ve got it all together but because Scripture tells us that apart from Christ we can do nothing (John 15:5). I desperately need Christ’s help, His strength, and His grace. And so I pray. A lot. I’m a wife (39 years!), a mom, and grammy. Come along on this faith journey with me as we talk about all things relevant to faith in Christ-our Living Hope.

I’m also the author of 4 books that will help you love God, cherish Scripture, and pray more. The primary themes woven through each of my books include trusting God, resting in His love, walking by faith, knowing Him more, honoring Him with your life, persevering through hardship, immersing yourself in Scripture, and praying simple prayers of faith.

Most days find me caring for my granddaughter, chopping vegetables in the kitchen, taking walks while listening to podcasts, or birdwatching in my southern Georgia backyard with my husband. I enjoy mornings in my prayer chair studying God’s priceless Word. I also enjoy baking from scratch, hosting friends and family for home cooked meals and game night, and gazing in wonder at all of God’s creation.

Thank you for visiting. I hope your time here strengthens your faith and encourages your soul.
