Julie Rowe is an American author and a self-proclaimed clairvoyant.[1] She claims to have had a near-death experience in 2004, during which she also claims to have had visions pertaining to end-times events.[2][3] Rowe published her account in a series of books.
A longtime member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS church), Rowe notably appealed to a Mormon audience. In 2015, she caused fears in some Mormon circles with her prediction that the world would end with the September lunar eclipse. The LDS Church responded by issuing a call for calm and stressing that it did not endorse Rowe's views.[4]
The LDS Church Education System placed Rowe's book A Greater Tomorrow on a list of "spurious materials" that was circulated to teachers of high-school seminaries and to college-age Institutes of Religion. The list stated:
In April 2019, Rowe was excommunicated from the LDS Church.[6]
In 2020, Rowe gained attention when her publisher, Chad Daybell,[7] was arrested in connection with the murders of his wife and his lover's two children.[8][9][10]
