Personal Endorsements:I am happy to recommend the person and ministry of Barb Boswell. She has been a shining light for our Lord Jesus in the greater Woodland area and beyond. I have had the honor of being her friend and pastor for 16 years watching her struggles and growth as she has trained to be the Lord's person wherever He sends her. Barb is a Spirit led woman of boundless energy and deep passion. She is articulate, funny, enthusiastic, and animated in her presentation of the daily challenges and joys of our faith walk. Barb has the ability to humbly share her story in a way that challenges and encourages people to take seriously the radical claims of Jesus Christ. She is tenacious, consistent and good at “thinking through” the implications of what we believe and how we live it out in the real world. Not one to shrink from a challenge, Barb has been a “yes” person from the day I first met her. Again, I am thankful to be able to highly recommend Barb Boswell to you.
I am blessed to call Barb Boswell friend, colleague and mentor. In a few short years we have become lifelong friends in Christ. I know Barb to be honest, caring, entertaining and wise. An energetic speaker, Barb uses insightful humor and real world examples to reach out to each and every person in the room. In life, she is constantly seeking the will and Word of God to navigate on her journey. I highly recommend Barb as a speaker at your small or large event.
Let me introduce you to my good friend and fellow staff member, Barb Boswell.

She has a strong relationship with her Savior and seeks to do His will, not her own. I wholeheartedly recommend Barb to you as your next event speaker. She will touch your heart, make you laugh and in the process, bring you face to face with Jesus Christ.

Speaking Endorsements:Barb Boswell was part of a team of speakers for George Fox University's women's seminar, Selah . Barb is a wonderful communicator and contributed a great deal to the event. Comments from the attendees were overwhelmingly positive regarding her portion of the program. Barb shares in authentic, "real" fashion about her life-changing journey of discovering and being treated for cancer. Her experience gives hope to many that God can take life circumstances, both every-day times and hard times, to shape us in His image and become "our" Jesus. Barb approaches her sessions with a combination of sincerity and humor, providing many "laugh outlets" for her audience. I highly recommend Barb as a person with wonderful character who walks closely with the Lord. She is able to articulate her journey in a way that moves audiences to deeper commitment to the Lord.
Barb Boswell has a way of uniquely sharing about her life using humor and real life illustrations. Barb's down to earth style and honesty allowed women to think about how God wants to use them on a daily basis to glorify Him. Our women shared that through Barb's messages they were able to let go of some fears they have been holding on to for years. Barb's speaking topics are relevant for any women's event, be prepared to be enriched, laugh and have fun, fun, fun!
Barbara Boswell is a true survivor! When our newspaper wrote a feature article about Barbara and her journey through breast cancer I knew she would be an inspirational speaker to our local support group. Her book is a tribute to her determination AND spunky attitude that life will not get you down if God is your co-pilot. Her stories are full of coping strategies laced with humor offering encouragement to everyone that has dealt with any of life's challenges.
The purpose of this letter is to provide some insight about Barb Boswell's speaking style, experience and how she shares her story from someone who has attended a 3-day retreat that she led. Right away, I felt comfortable around Barb. She is a warm and open individual and is able to convey that to a large group. The other point that I picked up on immediately is that Barb loves God and has a deep and growing relationship with him. This continues to be made clear as she shares her testimony. She is very honest about where she is in her walk with God and how he has changed her life. She is able to use humor to make her point and at the same time get me to look honestly at my own relationship with our Lord. She touched the hearts of so many women that attended the Fremont Presbyterian Women's Retreat in April of 2008. She has a way of encouraging one to look how they are letting God work in their life without feeling judged. I came away feeling closer to the women I worship with every Sunday and feeling closer to Jesus Christ. Every once in awhile I need to step away from my daily routine and look at where I am going and whether that is where God wants me to go. Barb helped to facilitate that at the retreat. I came away feeling inspired.
Barb Boswell spoke at Deep Creek United Methodist Church for their United Methodist Women's Day. Barb is a wonderful inspirational speaker. She has a way of taking everyday situations and illustrates God's ability to touch us where we are today. Barb does this through humor, Scripture and thought-provoking true stories. She opens your eyes, ears and heart to see that God is around always. I use her book as a short story study book to help me realize how important my relationship and daily walk with God is so important. She is s trusted guide and friend.
Barb has been listed on the National Cancer Survivor's Day Speakers Bureau since 2004

Ms. Boswell has found a way to see the silver lining in lots of medical clouds. She is able to not only add the positive spin but also to make you laugh while the clouds pass. She has captured many of the struggles that patients face when cancer enters their lives. I especially loved the red fingernail polish story. This is the kind of book I would want in the patient's waiting area.
I love Barb! And I love her new book, Every Time I Turn Around, I Catch a Glimpse of God!
