Laughter, mixed with inspiration, fills Barbara Eubanks’ devotional books and humorous presentations today.  Much life and many experiences have brought Eubanks to this point.

Barbara Eubanks is a minister's wife, Sunday school teacher, high school English/journalism teacher (retired, 2005), writer, Christian humorist, conference leader, mother to three adult sons, and grandmother to eight. She earned a B.A. from Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama, and an M.A. and Ed.S. from the University of Alabama. She and her husband, Rev. Steve Eubanks, now reside on a family farm near Albertville, Alabama. Her family, friends and experiences have proved to be great resources for humorous anecdotes for her first two books and for her speaking events. Barbara realizes that happiness and joy are essential for spiritual, physical, and emotional health.  Through her speaking events, she reminds listeners that God wants his children to be happy.  Her desire to glorify God permeates her work and life.

Author Barbara Eubanks’ first book, Humorous Happenings in Holy Places (Tate Publishing, Dec. 2004), combines true humorous, church-related anecdotes with uplifting devotions.  This books success has opened for her a career as a Christian humorist; she schedules fifty to seventy engagements a year.  Her life experiences and contacts as a minister’s wife and as an English teacher add to her qualifications for writing this novel and provide a built-in market. Eubanks’ career as a Christian humorist and conference leader increases book sales.

Eubanks’ second novel has also gained great attention and has sold well. And the Angels Laughed, also published by Tate Publishing and following the same format as the first, was released December 2006.  This book carries an endorsement by Cecil Murphey, her friend and the co-author of Ninety Minutes in Heaven.
