Marion Grace

The Gift of Teaching Marion Grace

Publisher Marketing: This memoir is a heartwarming chronicle of a ritual abuse survivor's tenure as a teacher for thirty-one years. It is filled with humor and pathos and is a living testimony of the transforming power of God's amazing grace. The author blossomed in a cocoon and emerged God's butterfly. Because of her God-given gift of teaching, she made a significant difference in her students' lives. She epitomizes God's promise in Romans 12:6,7: "Having then gifts differing according to the grace given to us, whether prophesy, let us prophesy, according to the proportion of faith; . . . or he that teacheth, on teaching." Indeed, her life as a teacher represents her miraculous refinement in the furnace of affliction. She has come forth as pure silver to simply be a pencil in God's Hand. The author's pen name assures the anonymity of her family, her students, and her fellow colleagues. She draws her writing from her countless experiences as a teacher, in both high school and college. It is her hope that especially fellow survivors will gain strength and inspiration from her witness and blessings. It is written that, "the blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and addeth no sorrow with it." (Proverbs 10:22) Through her teaching, Marion Grace has possessed more riches than the world's most wealthy. She has discovered that God's tender grace is abundantly sufficient.
