Barbara Eubanks - Author and Christian Humorist

Let me welcome you to my new blog. Here you will find up-to-date news of recent speaking events, a schedule of upcoming events, and news of my writing life.
Please give me feedback on my books you've read or on any of my writing. If you attend one of my speaking events, tell me the good, the bad, and the ugly. I am a work in progress and commit all I do to the Glory of Christ. Therefore, it helps me to know what inspires, what make you laugh, and what blesses your soul.

My Speaking Schedule

If you need a funny Christian speaker for any event - banquet, meetings, reunions, civic clubs, special church events -, contact me at barbara@barbaraeubanks.com or call 256-878-5934 (You can even speak to a real live person.)

I bring a mixture of humor and inspiration to the event. I schedule from 50 - 80 events a year, so book early.

Speaking at Dwight Baptist



“Are you ready to laugh on a Saturday morning?” I asked the ladies at Dwight Baptist Church when I began. Driving the twenty miles down the mountain to Gadsden, Alabama, from home, my heart sang, “This is the day the Lord has made. I will be glad and rejoice in it.” This was truly a day the rocks would have cried out in praise if we hadn’t because God had given such a beautiful, glorious fall day. The beauty of the earth moved my soul.

And, yes, the delightful ladies at Dwight Baptist were quite ready for some humor. The day’s beauty was merely enhanced by the joy of the ladies attending their monthly brunch. They were good laughers when I shared my humorous stories; they nodded and “amened” appropriately agreeing with my serious points. One young lady asked at the book table, “Which book contains the scrotum story you told?”

“You’ll have to wait until my third devotional book comes out for that one,” I told her.

Many ladies lined up after my presentation to thank me for sharing with them and to buy books and let me sign them so they could take home some of the humor. Laughter, joy, and inspiration are doubled and tripled when shared.
