Johana Barrionuevo

**Biography of Johana Barrionuevo** Hello! I am Johana Barrionuevo, a 52-year-old Chilean, happily married and a proud mother of three wonderful children and grandmother to four beautiful granddaughters. I believe in God with all my heart and am convinced that He is the Necessary Good of Man. I consider myself an amateur author. Although I have published two books, my journey in the world of writing began driven by the passion within me and the stories of my life that have marked my existence. Since my childhood, I have been writing, intertwining my experiences with my faith. My works are self-help narratives, filled with motivation and hope, as reflected in the title of my first book: **"Don't Give Up, Trust in His Will."** Like many of you, I have faced giants in life, moments when I wanted to turn my back on everything. However, in those moments of fear, I discovered an unconditional love that gave me strength, even when my life seemed like a short circuit. That light healed my wounds and taught me the resilience that I share in my stories. They are not tales with perfect endings, but real testimonies that seek to guide others through their processes of grief, pain, and despair. My second book, **"Surrendered to His Will,"** addresses these aspects of life with sincerity and compassion. A few years ago, I decided to study biblical counseling and mental health, because I feel it is essential to care for the hearts of others. My books are not intended only for Christians; they are for anyone seeking hope, comfort, and peace of mind. I invite you to dare to explore my works and join me on this journey of discovery and healing. I hope you find in my words the inspiration you need!
