Writing is often described as a solitary act—but for Christian author Bonnie Huber, it’s anything but lonely. Her creative process is deeply spiritual, emotionally intuitive, and always guided by purpose. Every novel she writes carries a piece of her heart, crafted through a strong desire to impact readers with stories that matter.
In this exclusive behind-the-scenes look, Bonnie opens the door to her writing world—sharing how her books come to life and what fuels her creative journey.
Where It All Begins:
“I did not write my first book until I was 75 years old. Finishing that one, I discovered I enjoyed writing and wrote another, then another. Learning from each one and believing each got better than the one before.”
“When I start a book, it begins with just a thought. I never know what the ending will be or usually not even the second chapter. The words come to me one sentence, paragraph, or chapter at a time.”
“I don’t write just to write. I write because I feel led to. There’s always a reason, always a deeper meaning,” she shares.
She often starts by reflecting on real-life emotions and struggles, grief, forgiveness, loss, new beginnings—and seeks to turn them into hope-filled narratives. Her goal? To help readers feel seen, understood, and encouraged.
Each novel is treated with care, and she ensures the spiritual theme remains consistent throughout the plot. Whether it’s redemption, trust, or healing, the message is central.
Her books like:
…each carry unique themes, but all share one common thread: the power of God’s grace in everyday lives.
Writing with Purpose: Heart Over Hype
When she begins the writing process, Bonnie doesn’t focus on trends or what’s popular in the market. Instead, she writes with heart.
Her process includes:
- Writing in peaceful, distraction-free environments
- Letting the characters guide her organically
She believes that the best writing flows from honesty, and she never forces her scenes. If something doesn’t feel aligned with the message or characters, she waits until the direction becomes clear.
The Refinement: Rewriting, Revising, and Trusting the Process
Like any great author, Bonnie understands that great writing is rewriting. Once her first draft is complete, she dives into:
- Careful editing and restructuring
- Seeking feedback from trusted readers
- Reading the book many times to ensure it says what she wants.
She fine-tunes her language to ensure it’s clean, impactful, and reflective of her Christian values. The final product is a book that reads easily but lingers long in the heart.
The Result: Books That Touch Lives
