Stormie Omartian is an American Christian author and speaker best known for practical, prayer-centered books on marriage, parenting, spiritual growth, and women’s faith.

Biografía y Trayectoria del Autor

Stormie Omartian’s career as a Christian writer grew out of a turbulent beginning. In her own retelling, she was raised in poverty by a mentally ill, abusive mother and a passive father, experiences that left her with depression, fear, and rejection. She studied music at UCLA and entered entertainment, working on television variety shows and as a backup singer. But success did not quiet the damage of childhood. By age 28, after an early marriage failed and television work began to dry up, she was contemplating suicide. The decisive turn came when a singer friend introduced her to Pastor Jack Hayford; Omartian describes that conversion to Christianity as the moment her life began to change direction.
