“Behind the Scenes of the Julie Rowe Media Frenzy” by Chad Daybell, President of Spring Creek Book Companyīut then the Church released an interior memo to Church Educational System instructors in late August, specifically calling out Julie’s first book, A Greater Tomorrow, as inappropriate for classroom use. By August 2015, Julie’s books had been featured in 13 straight Seagull Book catalogs, which is almost unheard of. The larger advertisement boosted sales even more. I was elated, because the only books that receive that much space are typically written by General Authorities. In 2015, Seagull contacted Daybell to increase advertisement space for Julie’s books. Daybell explained that Deseret Book had been burned on the whole near-death experiences topic with the controversial 2012 book Visions of Glory: One Man’s Astonishing Account of the Last Days, but Seagull Book buyers had no such qualms. Seagull Book, one of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ for-profit companies, loved Julie’s books.

Publisher Chad Daybell said in 2016, “The first printing sold out within a month, and the eBook version smashed my book distributor’s all-time records.” The two decided she should follow up with a second book, The Time is Now, which would include “quotes from LDS prophets concerning the future, as well as answer many questions Julie had been asked on how to prepare spiritually and temporally for troubled times.” That book was released in November 2014 and proved to be just as popular as its predecessor. Her first book, A Greater Tomorrow, was released in May 2014 and was wildly successful. These books describe what she experienced and witnessed during a near-death experience in 2004. Julie Rowe first came to the public’s attention in 2014 with the publication of her first two books, A Greater Tomorrow: My Journey Beyond the Veil and The Time is Now. It appears that both her teachings and involvement in energy work were factors in her April 9th excommunication. She also practices and teaches the Emotion Code, a holistic method combining energy healing and muscle testing. Although she’s kept a lower profile in recent years, Julie continues to share her visions in podcasts, books, and media interviews. Julie Rowe caused a commotion several years ago when she was widely publicized as one of several people inspiring a massive prepper craze in September 2015.
