From Victim To Victor
After nine years of a difficult ministry in an Ontario housing complex and the deaths of my father and brother, I plunged into the deepest, darkest hole you could imagine. As anger, fear, depression, and loneliness engulfed me, I poured out my emotions. – God, who are You? – God, if You love me, show me. – God, why didn’t You protect me? I asked God to guide my healing process and give me the right books to help me heal. God answered my prayers.
The Making of Grace
How big is your God? Can He restore a marriage on the brink of divorce? Can He take a roaring lion and transform him into a gentle lamb? Can He rebuild a broken person so miraculously that she is now stronger than she had ever been? Can He take two broken people, bring them together and then walk them into healing? It will make you laugh. It will make you cry. It will make you angry. It will meet you where you are. You will be encouraged. You will be blessed. And you will come away knowing that, our God is without limits
Restoring Relationships
Living in a broken world where offenses and hurt feelings are common place, chances are you know someone you were once close to whom you no longer associate with. Maybe it was someone you worked with or served with on a committee. Possibility it was a neighbor, close friend, parent or sibling. Perhaps it is one of your children. The very thought of the wedge between the two of you brings an ache to your heart and tears to your eyes.
Freedom Through Forgiveness
Take a moment and think about the word, “forgiveness”. What emotions does such an activity stir in you? Do you find it fills you with a feeling of sweet security and well-being? Your conscience is clear and you have peace knowing that nothing is held against you. Now remove the ending of the word and you are left with, “forgive”.
Filling the Void
We were all created with a God shaped vacuum within our soul, longing to be filled with God Himself. If we do not fill this void with God’s love we will fill it with something else; dysfunctions, habits and dependencies which cannot satisfy. A dependency can be a person or anything we rely on to dull the pain when we are worried or are unable to face our situation.
Stepping Into the Light
Your dark tunnel may be so overwhelming that you can’t imagine anything beyond surviving the next few hours. Be encouraged, there may be a glimmer of light just around the next bend of your pathway to healing. “Stepping into the Light” is book nine in my series of Healing Emotional Wounds. It gives a brief review of my healing journey and shares a glimpse into what it is like to have the future open up before you.
Facing the Darkness
After burning out from nine years of a difficult ministry in an Ontario Housing complex, and the deaths of my father and brother, I plummeted into the deepest, darkest pit you could imagine. The only way for me to heal was to turn around and face the darkness with courage.
Those Painful Emotions
What is it that brought me to this place? •Where do I run to? •How do I find the words to explain something I don’t understand?•Who can I talk to who won’t think I have gone mad?If the above questions echo the ponderings of your heart, this book was written for you. Within these pages, you will find the source of help, hope, and healing.
God if you Love me Show me
You can understand how old wounds affect your behaviour, your relationships, and your marriage, but how do past wounds affect your relationship with God? How do you know if your spiritual life is being sabotaged? Here’s a little test.• Do you fear the future?•Do you fear not having enough?•Do you struggle with believing God loves you as a unique person even when you walk away?•Do you have difficulty feeling God’s love at your emotional level?
Those Turbulent Emotions
How individuals feel about their self-worth determines how they will interact with peers and superiors. •Do you struggle with excessive anger or violence?•Do you have a need to control situations?•Does fear keep you from doing the things you want to do?•Are you frequently the object of peer mockery or bullying?•Do you gossip, belittle, or bully, others emotionally?•Do you involve yourself in activities which cause self-harm?These are indications that you are not happy with something about yourself or your situation.

Grace Gayle and Paul are Chaplains with the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches in Canada, ministering in community settings. They bring thirty years’ experience walking with wounded individuals through their journeys of healing in pursuit of mental wellness. Grace believes the best medication for broken hearts and depression is meditating on Scriptures of God’s love.
Grace’s greatest passion is in growing ever deeper in her relationship with her Heavenly Father. Time spent in personal worship, prayer, and Bible study is her source of life, love, strength, wisdom, and knowledge.

Grace’s first book, “From Victim to Victor”, subtitled, A Personal Healing Journey, was published in 2012. In it, Grace tells her own story with transparency and straightforward illustrations of how God used Scripture to bring complete healing to her brokenness. The book is intended to be a roadmap by encouraging the reader to follow in her footsteps toward mental wellness.
