Barbara B. Gardner (Barbs, Barb, or Barbara:) is a long time homemaker, mother, and author of several books. Her first book, Holy Women of the Past was published by Calvary Press in 2009.

Barbs has other books and publications on Amazon's Kindle: Message of the Matriarchs - A fresh look at the lives of Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, and Leah.

Naomi and Ruth - An Oasis of Faithfulness

Getting Gideon - Understanding the way God forms leaders.

In her reading, studying, and writing, Barbara strives to reach God-centered interpretations of Scripture that rise above the conventional, moralistic lessons often heard in quickie studies or devotionals. She writes to women about women of Scripture to help us get a stronger vision of God in our lives today and leave behind the wimpy theology of our youths!

Barbara and Todd have been married for nearly 26 years and are the parents of Justine (22), Joshua (20), Abigail (17), and Annabelle (15). Their family lives in the Atlanta area. Barbs welcomes comments, queries, and posts from her readers.

About this blog

Whispers of Grace is timely encouragement and inspiration for True Women who by God's grace, are brave enough to submit to Christ and defy the lies of this world.  We seek to make the power of God's truth more resounding in our lives, more transforming, than the alluringly deceptive messages of popular culture, media, and the naturally wicked human heart.  We strive to make our theology (understanding of God) bigger than our problems!
