Certified  words addict and linguistics, Author Bev Gilliard has been reading, and reviewing literature before  she was old enough to get a library card. She is most often found hiding  with her nose in books, usually the Bible, or a dictionary, or in her bedroom typing away on her laptop.  Elusive and rarely out in public, except for business, Author Bev can usually be baited with volunteer work, or the promise of a rousing discussion on Christianity, causes to stop or prevent domestic violence,  suicide, or youth homelessness, though she has sometimes been known to come out to explore waterfalls, unique country sides,  and to enjoy personal time with family and friends on occasion.

Author Bev's Guiding Principles:

MOTIVATION: "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest," Proverbs 6:6-8 KJV

MOTTO: People can ruin my REPUTATION but only I can ruin my CHARACTER. My REPUTATION is what people believe me to me, my CHARACTER is what GOD KNOWS me to be.

BEST BUSINESS ADVICE: "Never be okay with doing business as usual unless you are okay with stifling  growth and slowing down progress." Author Bev Gilliard

Bev’s empowerment to create fabulous literature with transparency, honesty, and integrity comes from her soul.

"Battered, Beaten, Bruised but not Broken"
​Signature Large Print
by Author Bev Gilliard

In her educational textbook style memoir, "Battered, Beaten, Bruised, But Not Broken," Bev candidly details her experiences with violence, aggravated stalking, and the effects of stalking that contributed to emotional trauma. More importantly, Bev chronicled her memoir in such a way that the readers can experience the highs and lows of her emotion, journey and champion her resiliency. Bev used her memoir to educate her readers on the effects of violence from an impacted individual's perspective. She also details the physical and emotional toll violence has on its victim and how we can learn to cope and not let abuse define who we are, leaving us broken. Bev says anyone impacted by abuse can recover and go on to live a happy, healthy, resilient life once they make the decision that enough is enough and step out in faith, walking away from their abuser and abusive situation. 
There is a significant population of adult Single church members, so clearly, the subject of Singleness has a considerable personal interest to many people in our churches. 

For generations, single people have gotten the wrong message about what they are supposed to think of their lives; That they are supposed to be ashamed of being single, they are supposed to isolate themselves from couples and feel miserable and desperate to marry.

All books are Biblical base (King James Version Scripture). God's Word is a powerful weapon against sin, and against the devil, the enemy of our souls. Bev Gilliard states, "will be remiss if she did not say that, “Biblical Scripture ‘Comforts,’ ‘Challenge,’ ‘Convicts,’ ‘Change,’ ‘Corrects,’ ‘Condemns,’ ‘Chastises,’ and ‘Cuts’  you,  “12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerned of the thoughts and intents of the heart,” Hebrews 4:12 (KJV), and, you can ‘Receive‘ it, ‘Respond’ to it, ‘Repent’ because of it, or you can ‘Reject’ it and suffer the consequences, which is usually death.” (Bev Gilliard, Marriage, and Family Life)
