To some she’s known as Twila Belk, but to others she’s
known as the Gotta Tell Somebody Gal. She loves to talk, especially
about her Lord—Almighty God. Whether she’s writing, speaking, or
teaching, Twila’s desire is to offer hope and encouragement for
people to get their eyes fixed on him.
As a Christian communicator, Twila’s goal is making important
truths easy to understand. She enjoys laughing and promoting
laughter, but even more than that, she’s passionate about helping
her audiences discover who God is and how big God is and proving
that he can be trusted. She has lots and lots of proof of God's
faithfulness and goodness, and she just has to tell somebody!
The Power to Be is Twila’s seventh book, and she’s
contributed to several others. Her last title, a one-year
devotional also published with BroadStreet, is Raindrops from
Heaven: Gentle Reminders of God’s Power, Presence, and Purpose.
She’s had the pleasure of speaking for retreats, banquets, outreach
events, church services, women's conferences, Women’s Connection,
Women's Aglow, MOPS, schools, baby showers, bridal showers,
Christmas parties, Victorian teas, mother/daughter events, and even
a wedding reception!
In addition to writing and speaking, Twila enjoys teaching and
keynoting at writers conferences across the nation. Her mission is
to do whatever she can to make God famous. That includes being a
champion for others who have a message of hope and
encouragement--one that points people to God.
Twila and her husband, Steve, live in Bettendorf, Iowa, not far
from the Mississippi River and the home of American Pickers, John
Deere tractors, and Whitey’s ice cream. She is mom to three grown
children and Grandma to three precious little boys. For more
