About Havilah
Havilah is a published and self published author of 10 books, a sought-after communicator, top-rated podcaster and has been in full-time ministry for 25 years.
With little more than a high school education, she’s been able to grow her voice and skills through hard work, lots of failure as well as smashing success.
Havilah, a self-confessed non-writer, would not deny writing a book is harder than having a baby.
She attributes the secrets to her writing success to 3 key ingredients: public accountability, creating a powerful team (AKA a hype-girl, a coach and even a therapist) and having a step-by-step strategy that allows her to write in real time, in her real life.
Havilah and her husband Ben live in Redding, California, with their four young sons: Judah, Hudson, Grayson, Beckham and their golden-doodle; Barkley.
