Susan
Titus Osborn combines humor with solid biblical
truth and practical advice to encourage and inspire
her audiences. She offers hope to heal emotional
hurts through God's love and guidance.
One
would never guess that this successful author,
editor, and speaker once fell into a pit of
despair. In 1987 her marriage of 22 years came to
an end as she faced the divorce decision. At the
time, she had not worked outside the home in 20
years.
As
Susan turned an avocation into a full-time
profession, she learned what it means to step out
in faith and to truly trust God. Today He has
blessed her with a supportive husband and a
successful career. Currently, Susan has authored 28
books and represents several publishers at writers'
conferences. She is also an adjunct professor at
several Christian universities.

Recipes
for the Heart
Through humor and personal experience stories,
Susan offers encouragement and hope in coping with
daily problems. Often we stand up well facing the
giants that come into our lives. It's the armies of
ants that cause distress and discouragement.
Skipping
over Stones
Stress can be either positive or negative, but
it takes a toll on our bodies regardless. Susan
will offer techniques for managing the stress in
your life. She will teach you how to use stress to
your advantage instead of allowing it to take
advantage of you.
Which
Way to Go
What happens when you reach a major crossroads in
your life? How do you determine which fork in the
road to take? Susan offers some guidelines when
making life-changing decisions such as entering the
working force, going back to college, or dealing
with the empty-nest syndrome. Susan entered the
work force at the age of 42 after being a
stay-at-home mom for 20 years.
Journaling
Through the Bumps
One of the most effective ways to release pent-up
feelings or to understand your own emotions is to
keep a journal. A journal is a safe place to
explore and examine one's most intimate thoughts to
be read only by the one who writes them. Later on,
when reading about our past circumstances, we can
see that God really does carry us through the bumps
in life.
Perfect
Shells and Broken Pieces
Losing a loved one is hard, whether by death or
divorce. Susan will offer encouragement for us to
pick up the fractured pieces of our lives and begin
anew. We do this by developing a close relationship
with Jesus Christ and by depending on Him for our
strength. He will enable us to accept the past and
willfully start anew.
Yes
You Can!
You can overcome the obstacles in your life to
become all that God intended you to be. Often God's
plan for our lives and our own plans are vastly
different. God uses the difficult circumstances in
our lives to mold us, to refine us, and to teach us
to depend on Him. In this inspirational talk, Susan
offers encouragement and hope for the
future.
Share
Your Personal Experience Story
Have you ever wondered how to put your story down
on paper so others can benefit from it? Whether
you're only beginning to fulfill your dream to
write or you've been published for years, you will
gain from Susan's expertise. Learn to turn life
experiences into saleable stories, articles, and
even books. Susan has authored 28 books.
Happily
Ever After (with Detours)
Many fairy tales end with the phrase, "And they
lived happily ever after." Virtually every bride
envisions this fairy tale ending on her wedding
day. Unfortunately, for some, our fairy tale comes
to an end with the death of a spouse, the
distancing of a relationship, or even divorce.
Susan will offer some coping skills for the detours
in life and share her own testimony on how God used
a detour in her life for His gain.
Perfect
Relationships with Imperfect People
One of the greatest challenges we face is getting
along with the people in our lives. Often we expect
more from people than they are capable of giving
us. If we learn to ground our trust in God, instead
of others, we can improve our relationships with
friends, coworkers, and family members.
What
Did You Say?
Our greatest disappointments in life come from
unrealized expectations. Most often these are
caused by a lack of communication. Susan will teach
you good communication skills to help you establish
and/or improve your relationships with friends,
family members, and coworkers. Susan has an MA in
Communications.
Bonding
Through Books
Children love to have mothers, dads, and siblings
read to them. They possess incredible imaginations
and can picture lots of adventures in their young
minds. Susan offers suggestions for finding ways to
spend quality time reading to your children. She
also gives tips for locating wonderful books that
will hold a young child's attention.
Understanding
Your Children
According to the Greek philosopher, Hypocrites,
there are four basic personality types. If your
personality type is different than your children's,
Susan will offer suggestions to help you understand
your own personality as well as the different
personalities of your children.
