Darilyn started teaching in 1987. For the past nine years, she has been teaching high school Bible and English at a private Christian school. She has recently reduced her teaching commitment to allow more time for speaking and writing.
Darilyn is a passionate and engaging speaker. She relates to her audience with humor, grace and style. Her love for Jesus is both deep and contagious. Darilyn has completed both her Competent and Advanced Toastmaster training and has won several speech competitions and has competed at the regional level.
Darilyn was thrilled to be selected as a finalist in The Word Guild's Best New Canadian Christian Author of the year in their 2008 contest. Her entry was with her first book, The Surprising Truth in Chick Flicks. Using popular film as a catalyst to discuss issues of eternal significance, the leading male characters from movies are examined. The book spotlights eight well known chick flicks: What Women Want, Pretty Woman, You've Got Mail, Titanic, Maid in Manhattan, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Princess Bride, and Kate & Leopold. Each hero shares three characteristics with Jesus.
Twenty-four qualities, each one perfected in Christ. This blog will serve as Darilyn's online venue for sharing The Surprising Truth with you.
Darilyn would love to speak at your church’s next ladies or young adults event. She is also taking bookings for women’s retreats, outreach events, and conferences. If you would like to speak with Darilyn about your upcoming event, please call (204) 669-2012.
