Meet Joanne Bieler

I'm a mom, business leader, author, and speaker with a passion for children and a heart for seeing beyond the smile and the frown. After more than 25 years of leading people in the corporate world and over 15 years serving in children's ministry, my passion is helping children discover who they are in Christ and grow into the people God created them to be.

Ultimately, my journey to becoming a children's author wasn't a straight line. For years, I worked in the corporate world, building a career and a life. But something kept pulling at my heart — a deep desire to do something meaningful for children; to give them tools that would last a lifetime. Something that would truly impact their lives from the foundation UP!

That desire led me to create the Faith Adventures with Ethan & Abby series. Each book is born from a genuine belief that when children know their value in God's eyes, they grow up to be confident, purposeful and resilient adults. This is something I didn't know when I was a child and it's near and dear to my heart for all children to understand!

I'm based in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, and I'm available for interviews, school visits, church events, and speaking engagements of all kinds; no cookie-cutter approach! My heart's desire is to connect with as many families, educators, ministries and communities as possible to help equip kids to grow into the people God created them to be!
