About the Author
June Hunt is an author, singer, speaker, and founder of Hope for the Heart, a worldwide biblical counseling ministry featuring the award-winning radio broadcast by the same name heard daily across America. In addition,
Hope in the Night
is June’s live two-hour call-in counseling program that helps people untie their tangled problems with biblical hope and practical help. Hope for the Heart radio broadcasts currently air in more than 25 countries.

 

Early family pain was the catalyst that shaped June’s compassionate heart. Later, as youth director for more than 600 teenagers, she became aware of the need for sound biblical counseling. Her work with young people and their parents led June to a life commitment of
providing God’s truth for today’s problems
.

 

After years of teaching and research, June began developing scripturally based counseling tools called
Biblical Counseling Keys,
which address definitions, characteristics, causes, and solutions for 100 topics (such as marriage and parenting, anger and abuse, guilt and grief). Recently these individual topics were compiled to create the landmark
Biblical Counseling Library
. The
Counseling Keys
have become the foundation for the Hope Biblical Counseling Institute initiated by The Criswell College. Each monthly conference in the Dallas-based institute provides training to help spiritual leaders, counselors, and other caring Christians meet the very real needs of others.

 

June has served as a guest professor at colleges and seminaries, both nationally and internationally, teaching on topics such as crisis counseling, child abuse, wife abuse, homosexuality, forgiveness, singleness, and self-worth. Her works are currently available in 60 countries and more than 20 languages, including Russian, Romanian, Ukrainian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, and Arabic.

 

She is the author of
How to Forgive…When You Don’t Feel Like It, Seeing Yourself Through God’s Eyes
,
Counseling Through Your Bible Handbook, How to Handle Your Emotions, Caring for a Loved One with Cancer,
and more than 40 topical HopeBooks. June is also a contributor to the
Soul Care Bible
and the
Women’s Devotional Bible
.

 

As an accomplished musician, June has been a guest on numerous national television and radio programs, including the NBC
Today
show. She has toured overseas with the USO and been a guest soloist at Billy Graham crusades. Five recordings—
Songs of Surrender
,
Hymns of Hope
,
The Whisper of My Heart, The Shelter Under His Wings,
and
The Hope of Christmas
—all reflect her heart of hope.

It is a disorder in which the normal function of the mind and/or body is disturbed. Anorexics weigh less than their ideal body weight, which is different for every person (based on bone structure and the amount of muscle). Body weight that is 15 percent below normal poses a serious threat to a person’s physical health.
