Dr. Bill Garlen

We are a Christian couple and have been married for 54 years. My wife wrote a book about, how God intervened in both of our lives to bring us together against all odds. My story is uplifting, motivational, inspiring, and 100% true. I am proof that miracles do happen.

I am an international award winning singer/songwriter and unless professional sound is provided, I usually provide my own professional sound equipment. In addition to the speaking/workshop/conference, when appropriate I perform a song or two. I also usually bring my personal merchandise and books.

Thank you for your consideration.
