Interview with Martha Gayle
Martha is interviewed on the radio show Town Talk on WIZS. Here is an excerpt:
“The Martha in the Bible was always worrying about everything,” she said, adding that she tries to be hospitable to others. “I love serving others…I’m always the one planning.”
“Mary forgot about all of that – she was at Jesus’s feet – she wanted Jesus more than anything else.” Her book guides readers “that we all need to rest at Jesus’s feet every day.”
A Timeless Tale of Unconditional Love
When Jesus Calls is the debut novel from Martha Gayle. Simply put, the book is a powerful work of fiction. Mary’s story seemed so true, that you almost forget that you are reading fiction. Steeped in Scripture and filled with grace, it is a masterpiece that moves beyond allegory to touch the reader at the deepest level where faith is born. I wonder how much of Mary’s story is actually borrowed from Martha’s life. Mary, in one way or another, is every person who has ever lived without love. Yet she finds love and fulfillment in her relationship with Jesus Christ. This novel transcends mere storytelling, weaving a narrative rich with themes of forgiveness, grace, and the relentless nature of divine love. You cannot read this book and not be changed. I look forward to the sequel.
A must read! You will not be disappointed!
I have been waiting for this book as I read and LOVED When Jesus Calls! Wow! I love all of the characters, especially Mary and felt like I was her friend! Elizabeth is so precious! Mary’s Faith in Jesus Christ is so powerful and although she had fear at times, she always found her peace and strength in Jesus! The Bible scriptures were so on point. This is a beautiful story of faith, family, romance, love and courage. I can’t wait for the next book!
