Julie Rowe
American author and self-proclaimed clairvoyant
Julie Rowe is an American author and a self-proclaimed clairvoyant. 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. Rowe published her account in a series of books.
A longtime member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS church) until 2019, Rowe notably appealed to a Mormon audience. In 2015, some Mormon circles responded to her words with fear because they interpreted her prediction that the world would end to mean (around) the September lunar eclipse, although she did not specifically state this date. The LDS Church responded by issuing a call for calm and stressing that it did not endorse the membership's understanding of this view.
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:
"Although Sister Rowe is an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, her book is not endorsed by the church and should not be recommended to students or used as a resource in teaching them. The experiences she shares are her own personal experiences and do not necessarily reflect Church doctrine".
In the course of the 2010s, Rowe remained a very popular author and speaker among certain Mormon "extremist" circles, notably survivalist "preppers" who believed apocalypse to be imminent and worked to prepare for Christ's Second Coming.

Why this record matters
The phrase “american author and self-proclaimed clairvoyant” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q22280145. VIAF identifies the subject as 309858970. The Library of Congress control number is no2014104597. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2004, 2019 and 2015.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
