Gracie Malone
 

Bio: Gracie's latest book, “LifeOvers” encourages women to embrace what she calls “God’s Color-Full Grace.” She does this by teaching concepts that seem absolutely “Upside Down” to our finite minds. Truth is, we often process things with a far-too-logical and less-than-spiritual brain. Gracie stretches your thinking with such topics as “The Way Up is Down” “Whoever is Last Will be First” “When the Going Gets Tough, The Tough….Rest” and “Definitely Flawed but Deeply Loved.” Each chapter is followed by a Bible Study that’s perfect for personal or group study. Gracie has also written two books for grandparents: "Off My Rocker!" and “Kisses of Sunshine for Grandmas” (co-authored with Carol Kent) and a book called “Still Making Waves” written for women making a splash in their second half of life. You may remember Gracie best for two best-selling, fun filled, encouraging books: "Courage for the Chicken-Hearted" and "Eggstra Courage for the Chicken-Hearted” which she co-authored with four friends affectionately dubbed "Hens With Pens.” Gracie has contributed to many other volumes including “What We’ve Learned So Far” “Humor for a Mom’s Heart” Help I Can’t Stop Laughing” “Just Call Them Laugh Lines”, “Parent’s Wanted” and the Women of Faith compilation, "She Who Laughs, Lasts." Gracie has also written devotions for "Seasons of a Woman's Heart" "Treasures of a Woman's Heart" was featured in "Real Magnolias--Stories of Southern Women Finding Hope, Love and Laughter."

Gracie has written numerous articles for Moody, Discipleship Journal, Decision, Live, Women Alive, Christian Parenting Today, Home Life, Celebrate Life, and The Virtuous Woman. One of her articles won "Best Article" at the Florida Christian Writer's Conference.

She is a gifted and sought after speaker for women's conferences and retreats addressing a variety of topics with spiritual depth and lots of humor. In addition to her writing and speaking, Gracie is a Precept Leader and frequent Bible study teacher at her church in Grapevine, Texas.
