Martha Gayle Author Interview

When Jesus Calls follows a woman experiencing heartbreak while looking for love in all the wrong places. Mary goes on an emotional and spiritual journey seeking healing, purpose, and a deeper connection with Jesus. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?

I was called by God to write my life’s journey of trusting God above all else.  He gave me the Bible scripture to lean on in John 11:40, Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”

What were some challenges you felt were important to defining your characters in this story? 

The only challenges I felt were having to relive parts of my life that caused me a lot of pain. However, God used these times in my writings to heal my heart, and He has set me free of that pain.

What experience in your life has had the biggest impact on your writing?

I never believed I would be an award-winning author. However, being obedient to God’s will has blessed me beyond imagination. 

This has been a profound journey.  I am humbled and grateful!  Always Believe and Never give up!  John 11:40

What is the next book that you’re working on, and when can your fans expect it out?

I am currently writing the 3rd book in my When Jesus Calls series.  It should be available in the Fall of 2026.

Meet Mary, a young woman whose life takes an unexpected turn, leading her to a betrayal that shatters her heart. Instead of seeking solace in God’s guidance, she relies on her own understanding, inadvertently turning away from her greatest love: Jesus Christ.

Striving to bury the anguish of her past, Mary dedicates herself to her career as a sales and marketing director at a popular resort and even becomes a best-selling author. Amidst the challenges, she longs to follow Jesus. As she experiences His continuous forgiveness, healing, and strength, Mary’s life takes a significant turn; she becomes a single mom. Despite the trials that test her faith, Mary realizes the power of forgiveness and her need for Jesus. She is determined to use her story to prevent others from enduring similar pain. Will her unwavering faith and trust in Jesus Christ be enough to resist the external forces that seek to alter her decisions in following His plan for her life?

When Jesus Calls is a story of undeniable faith. Mary realizes she has not protected her heart well, as God’s word says in Proverbs 4:23, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Repenting of her sins, Mary finds peace and comes to know her Savior, Jesus Christ, in a more personal way. She realizes He will never fail her, and all things work together for His Glory.

Do not believe the lie; all are worthy because of Jesus! He loves you!
