"God is an ever present help in trouble," says Julie Kloster. "He gives joy and peace in the midst of
sorrow and pain. God uses all things for his glory and the good of his people.
God is God and we are not. When we do not understand his ways, we must trust his heart."

Julie has struggled with many medical issues including: the premature birth of her daughter born
under two pounds, breast cancer, a benign spinal-nerve tumor, and retinal eye problems. "God has
met me every step of the way," she testifies. "He knew me before I was born, loved me enough
to die for me, and his grace will be sufficient for whatever the future holds – of that I am certain."

Julie is a regular contributor to ChristianBibleStudies.com, a division of Christianity Today
International. She also writes devotions for Standard Publishing, inspirational,
humorous essays and articles, and her recent release is The Eternal Truths of Narnia,
a Bible study on The Chronicles of Narnia published by Bridge-Logos.

Julie received her Bachelor's Degree in Education with an emphasis in
special education from Northern Illinois University. Julie is a fifth grade teacher.
Her love for teaching is evident in her writing and speaking.
Julie lives in Sycamore, Illinois with her husband and three daughters.
