Show Notes:18. Michelle Ule — The Story Behind The Most Popular Devotional

Michelle Ule is the biographer of Mrs. Oswald Chambers: The Woman Behind the World’s Bestselling Devotional, an essayist for Utmost Ongoing: Reflections on the Legacy of Oswald Chambers and a bestselling author of inspirational historical novellas. 

She became interested in the Chambers family after using My Utmost for His Highest as a devotional for many years and then writing an as-yet-unpublished World War I novel in which Oswald and Biddy Chambers appeared as “marquee characters.”

Michelle writes an “Utmost Response” to each day’s reading on her Michelle Ule, writer Facebook page–for all those folks who seek insight into what that day’s My Utmost for His Highest means!

A 35 year Bible study teacher in a variety of Christian settings and denominations, she studied English Literature at UCLA and trained as a reporter. Michelle’s also an amateur genealogist.

Long married to a retired naval officer, Michelle and her family live in Northern California.

  • Domes, pastries, paintings and our last day in Paris.
  • Germany was great. And I do love Paris.
  • Come all the way to Germany and found out my friend @karlvaters was speaking to German pastors twenty minutes away. The world is small.
  • Ashley and I are spending the week in Germany doing work with The Warriors Journey. TWJ is doing amazing work with the military community stationed here.
  • There have been intense negotiations in my house about getting a new dog. I have been arguing that we wait till summer… so we got one in last week. Charlotte got Lucy for her seventh birthday this weekend.
