Barbara Nelson Bennett

Barbara Nelson Bennett is a Jamaican-born educator, author, wife, mother, and woman of faith. She married at 55 after waiting on God for a faithful partner. Though some friends doubted it would happen, her journey inspired her Love Series journals and her desire to encourage single women to know their worth and trust God’s timing.

Preparing for Your King explores personal growth and faith before marriage. Waiting for Your King offers encouragement during the wait, while Marrying Your King focuses on communication and commitment. One Burner Man reflects the faithful, monogamous love Barbara found with her husband. Intimacy with the King explores closeness through faith and honest communication.

Barbara also writes for young people. Heart First and No Cap are daily, practical devotionals for teen girls and boys, offering guidance on self-worth, character, and choices. Across her books, Barbara shares what she wishes she had known earlier: keep growing, hold on to your values, and trust God with your story.
