Marcie Gourley is a licensed professional counselor with a master’s degree in Professional Counseling, whose lifelong passion for history, America, and faith began in childhood. Her father often took her and her sisters to historical sites, graveyards, and political events, instilling in them a deep pride in their American heritage. That early love of history has grown into a calling to share the stories that shaped our nation and inspire future generations. Marcie and her husband, Ed, have five amazing adult children and continue to call Pennsylvania home. Marcie placed in the American Christian Fiction Writers’ Genesis Contest as well as Susan May Warren’s My Book Therapy Frasier contest. Marcie has served as ACFW Pennsylvania chapter coordinator and cofounded a women’s ministry called Wonderfully Woven, for which she wrote articles, did radio spots and radio interviews, and spoke at various women’s ministry events. Her writing, stories, and devotionals have been featured on radio programs and on college campuses in various parts of the country. Her clinical research on counseling is used in everyday life, as she focuses on clinical help, curriculum, and court reports.
