Catherine Boyle was born and raised in Roanoke, Virginia.  Growing up in the country, one of Catherine’s favorite places to retreat was a cow pasture behind her house, where she could survey the small valley in which her family and neighbors resided.  There Catherine discovered a dawning sense of the grandeur of God and began a lifelong love of the written Word.   

Despite this passion for writing, Catherine was overly sensible and in college majored in Accounting.  Catherine earned a BBA from James Madison University as well as an MBA from Virginia Commonwealth University.

Catherine met her husband in Richmond, VA in 1992 and quickly fell head over heels in love.  The beginning of Catherine’s marriage was unforgettable:  her wedding took place on one of the coldest days on record in the South.  And while en route to a Hawaiian honeymoon, an overnight stop in Los Angeles put Catherine and her husband near the epicenter of a major earthquake! 

Catherine enjoyed a successful career in a large southeastern bank where she served as Vice President in Corporate Trust and in Strategic Marketing.  Catherine’s final corporate assignment was Vice President over key areas of the bank’s Y2K project.  In spite of the corporate allure, after the birth of her second child Catherine gave up her banking career for the role of full-time “Mommy”. 

In the early years of her children’s lives, God pulled together the passions for writing, speaking and ministry that Catherine had never known how to use.  But at just the right time, God opened the doors for Catherine to lead a significant women’s ministry at her church, and shortly thereafter, to become a speaker for a national ministry.   

Today, Catherine spends her time writing, speaking and teaching the truth and application of God’s Word.  Catherine’s first book, Hungry Souls:  What the Bible Says About Eating Disorder, was released in 2007.  Catherine has contributed to several other books and is working on a Biblically-based book on intimacy.
