Speaking about By Faith at AGLOW Queens Lighthouse

What a delight it was recently to get to share a bit about By Faith at AGLOW Queens Lighthouse! Click on the link above to watch the short clip.

And here’s a quote from a lovely review of By Faith by Carla Alvarez of Raised to Walk: 

“By Faith by Nancy Gavilanes is her personal testimony of how she came to know Christ as Savior; however, it does not fall into the trap that so many personal testimonies do. The main focus of the account is one that is in Christ, one of walking it out and following where God leads even when the destinations are completely unexpected.”

To read the rest of this review of By Faith,  click here.

God is Good! I hope By Faith is a blessing and encouragement to you and all who read it!

 

SpiritLed Woman’s Website Runs By Faith Book Excerpt

I’m thrilled that an excerpt from By Faith is now on SpiritLed Woman‘s website! Glory to God.

It’s a delight and honor to have my writing back on a women’s magazine’s website after all these years. This time it’s about my walk with God. God is Good!

Here’s the link if you’d like to check out the excerpt from By Faith that also ran on Charisma‘s main Twitter and Facebook page.

I pray you’re encouraged by reading about how God chased me down in Australia and by the glimpse of what my wilderness season was like.  If so, do like, share and comment on their post.  Blessings!

Greetings from my Bday Castle

It’s been a blessed Roctober, thank God! Here’s a short video I shot at my bday castle this year. I’m sharing a few thoughts about the release of By Faith: Adventures and Reflections on Walking with God Here and Abroad.

One of my fave spots in the castle is the library. It’s a treat being surrounded by so many books. Seeing the pic below just gave me a flashback of working in my high school’s library.

It’s surreal to see how my list of books is growing! God is Good!

As a child, I enjoyed writing in my diary and creating my own little magazines out of loose leaf paper. I’d write all the celeb profiles, advice column Q&A’s and even had a sports section. As I got older, I wanted to write for magazines. Writing felt very natural for me. I never dreamed about writing books though. My writing went into hiding for years after I felt the Lord ask me to lay down my successful journalism career. So how is it that I’m celebrating the release of my fourth book? It’s a long story, and I’m delighted to share some of it in By Faith.  

Come along with me as I journey to six continents and see God’s miraculous lovely fingerprints near and far. (I guess once a reporter always a reporter.)
 
I pray By Faith, Waiting on God Well, Abounding Faith and Crossing Your Jordan River are a blessing to you! They are available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble‘s website.
