Certified  addict and linguistics nerd, 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 occassion.

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

Meet Author Bev:

Author Bev Gilliard is a Belizean American Diverse Scholar, Author, Orator, Poet, Writer, Publisher, and Editor who enjoys her editorial independence, is professional, very articulate, friendly, loves people, and believes in putting God first place in her life.

Bev writes Christian intimate literature and poetry that are transformational, revelatory, provocative, convicting, and bold. Author Bev writes selflessly to educate and help Christians and non-Christian believers explore their faith. Bev's empowerment to create fabulous literature with transparency, honesty, and integrity comes from her soul. She pens what she observes happening around her, hoping that her books inspire the imagination to make space for debate and inspire conversation at the heart of her writings.

Additionally, Bev boldly challenge authority and question the status quo to report with tenacity and rigor - so more people have access to accurate information that shed light where others won't go or fear to thread. Author Bev is clear, saying, "No one steers my opinion except the Word of God. I feel God's word is infallible and lends truth to the world's severe ills in these crucial times." Author Bev's books are rooted in Biblical facts with a progressive perspective on world issues free from commercial bias. Instead, it is influenced by "Thus saith the Lord and leaves room for discussion but not for debate." Through her writings, Bev hopes to foster God-centered inclusivity and diversity and enable her readers to feel empowered to inspire or bring about real change in the world.

Also, Author Bev spent many years contemplating whether she should write her autobiography. But after doing so, Author Bev claims, "I am probably the most freedwoman, spiritually and mentally, after sharing my story in my memoir, "Battered, Beaten, Bruised, but Not Broken," her most requested book."

In addition, Author Bev has written many other excellent spiritual and religious books that have been very popular with God-loving people. Her teachings mainly focus on Biblical principles and God's character, and how our faith is influenced in this world's spiritual warfare. Her most significant contributions are Biblical Principles on Singleness, Marriage and Family Life, When Christian Vows Break and Chosen, and Shattered Reflections of a Christian, "Biases, Burdens, and Blessings."

"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)
