Catherine has spoken at numerous Ladies' events, including day conferences, breakfasts and weekends, as well as individual fellowship meetings for women in various churches. Having cared for two profoundly disabled daughters for a period of almost twenty years, Catherine is often asked to speak on the subject of suffering - through testimony, bible ministry and seminars. But she also delights in opportunities to share what the Bible has to say on a myriad of other subjects too! She is married to Philip. They have three children; two daughters, Cheryl and Joy, now in heaven, and a wonderful son, Paul who is married to Susie, both exceptional musicians.

Catherine's particular gift is to encourage, and to provide connections between the experience of biblical characters and life today.

A Note from the Author

Campbell, Catherine

Few of us are superheroes. Most of us are plain ordinary. In spite of this fact God continues to throw the impossible in our direction and, invariably, we shout back "I can't!" Yet we discover this is the best background against which God can "do immeasurably more than we can even ask or think" as the apostle Paul put it. 'When We Can't, God Can' sets side by side the stories of men and women from both the biblical narrative and today who said "I can't", only to go on to accomplish great things for the God who declares his strength to be made perfect in weakness. Catherine's particular gift is to encourage, and to provide connections between the experience of biblical characters and life today.

"Catherine Campbell weaves together stories from yesterday with portraits from today to show the inner workings of faith. She matches gripping, creative re-tellings of episodes from the Bible with deeply moving modern-day accounts of believers around the world. The result is a fresh and original reflection that puts flesh in the bones of belief." -- Gerard Kelly, The Bless Network and author of The Prodigal Evangelical Catherine Campbell has done it again - given us a book packed with encouraging insights as we read her stories inspired by the Bible along with gripping real-life accounts. Drama, faith, hope and love - it's all here to build our faith in the God who can, and does. -- Amy Boucher Pye, author of Finding Myself in Britain Catherine Campbell reminds us here of just how wonderfully the God of the impossible works in our weaknesses. Through beautifully vivid retellings of Bible stories alongside accounts of contemporary experiences, Catherine invites us to be encouraged in the face of our own challenges. -- Pam Rhodes
