Courage and Grace


Book Description

Your author has written this story with the hope that, maybe, as you near the end of your very short journey called “life,” this book may become a real treasure to you, a sort of best friend, to help you through your difficult times. May this book become like a golden key, which will come, from time-to-time, and unlock those heavy doors that seem to lock us into our very own internal prison cell. Perhaps you are familiar with the horrible names of this real-life, internal, prison cell that has entombed so many with its iron bars. As we walk by it, we see the horrible names of “Fear, “Doubt,” “Discouragement,” “Depression,” and “Disappointment” inscribed on its walls. The primary purpose of this story is to provide the readers with a way, a real, legitimate way, to keep themselves out of this horrific cell that has become the final resting place for so many millions of people.




Courageous Grace


Book Description

As a Bible teacher, Gayle had taught for decades about the amazing power of grace in a person's life. Yet it took a crisis in her husband's life and the crumbling of her own life around her for her to have an epiphany about the true nature of grace. In Courageous Grace, Gayle chronicles and explains her newfound insights. Despite common misperceptions, grace is not safe. It's not easy. Frankly, it takes courage to show grace to those who deserve less. Oftentimes, the person showing God's grace gets counted among the sinners, just as Jesus experienced centuries ago. Gayle explores the story of Jesus forgiving the adulterous woman to reveal the courageous side of showing grace. We live in a society that vacillates between glorifying sin and crucifying those who fall. Gayle encourages us to take the road less traveled--daring to do the hard work of showing God's grace to the sinners among us. It's what followers of Christ are called to do.
