Rowe has written four books between 2014 and 2020, most recently New Revolution: A Vision of America's Future. Her writings and lectures at LDS firesides are sometimes interpreted as encouraging spiritual and emergency preparations, such as food storage, before signs of the end times, such as the "blood moon" from the September 2015 lunar eclipse. Though an LDS Church press release at that time stated that it encourages emergency preparations and self-reliance during disasters and hardships, it also warned its members to "avoid being caught up in extreme efforts to anticipate catastrophic events." [3]

In 2020, Rowe was in the media spotlight due to her past association with former publisher, Chad Daybell, who was arrested in connection with the deaths of Tylee Ryan and J.J. Vallow.[4][5]

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"[6]

Rowe was excommunicated from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in April 2019.[7]
