It's Time to Heal: Four God-Given Steps to Restore What Life Has Shattered

"God turns scars into testimonies. We all carry wounds―some we caused, others that were done to us. Anxiety, depression, other forms of mental illness, trauma, burnout, and disconnection plague us. Too often, we try to ignore the pain, pretend we’re fine, and go on with our lives...and it doesn’t go well. But what if God doesn’t want to erase your pain? What if he wants to redeem it? In It’s Time to Heal, bestselling author and pastor Dr. Derwin L. Gray invites readers into a sacred journey of acceptance, trust, and restoration. Through biblical insight, honest storytelling, and gentle guidance, Derwin shows how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit meet us in our pain and restore what life has shattered. Healing isn’t instant or easy―it’s holy, complicated, and beautiful. But in God’s hands, broken things become instruments of the Kingdom. You’ll discover the four God-given steps toward wholeness: - H – Honest: Name what happened to you. You can’t heal from what you won’t name. - E – Expect: Healing is hard. But staying unhealed is harder. - A – Accept: Acceptance isn’t approval―it’s refusing to let your past define your future. - L – Live: Live from love, not for it. You are already loved by God. We live in a culture fluent in therapy language but starving for theology that matters in their real life. People are seeking emotional health and redemption from their hurt but don’t know how God fits into the journey. Meanwhile, churches are recognizing the need for discipleship that honors the reality and complexity of pain and trauma but lack tools that stay grounded in Scripture. It’s Time to Heal unites biblical truth and emotional wisdom in a way that is both pastoral and practical. To deepen this integration, It’s Time to Heal features “Counselor’s Corner” insights from the expertise of Jim Cress and Dr. Vickey Maclin, offering compassionate mental-health context that frames healing as both a spiritual and emotional process. You are not too far gone for God to heal. Your wounds don’t disqualify you―they’re where he does his best work. It’s time to heal."

The Good Life: What Jesus Teaches about Finding True Happiness

"What is true happiness, and how can we find it? Everyone wants to be happy. We spend our money, time, and energy chasing after "the good life," and we run ourselves into physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion on the way. But what if the happiness we're all striving for isn't the happiness we were created for? Pastor and author Dr. Derwin L. Gray believes there is a path to true happiness. It is a life lived with Jesus by embracing the Beatitudes found in Matthew 5:1-12. As you walk through these words, Jesus invites you into a new life-giving rhythm that cultivates a flourishing, happy, transformative life. "

God, Do You Hear Me?: Discover the Prayer God Always Answers

"God, do you hear me? If we're honest, that's a sentiment we've all shared. Prayer can be challenging and confusing. Often we feel abandoned, betrayed, and anxious. We don't know what to pray for, we don't know the words to say, and sometimes it just feels like there's no one on the other side. Through the pages of this book, pastor and bestselling author Derwin Gray will journey with you, in learning and living the prayer that God always answers. This prayer is commonly called the Lord's Prayer (Matt 6:9-13). The Lord's Prayer is the firm foundation God uses to build our lives on the Rock. It will help you break through to a completely new and refreshing prayer life. Along this journey, you'll learn several things about prayer: - Prayer is the secret place where we find God waiting for us. - Prayer is the door we enter to discover God's heart of unending grace. - Prayer is the home we have always wanted, where we can crawl into our Father's lap and find our purpose. - Prayer is not about getting God to give us stuff. It is about becoming who we were made to be: a reflection of Jesus in the world."
