ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Gina Lynn Murray—an author who believes in the power of Light to break through the darkest places. My life and writing are anchored in John 1:5: “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.” That verse captures both my heart for ministry and my passion for storytelling.

I have written seven Christian books and co-authored two more with bestselling author Ellen Sallas (Ellen C. Maze), each one offering encouragement and hope for women who long to rest in Christ. I’m also stepping into the world of children’s books, partnering with my husband as illustrator to create faith-filled stories that spark joy and imagination in young hearts. Alongside that, I am working on my first novel, weaving themes of redemption and resilience into a new kind of story.

Along with my husband Jason, I am co-founder of Finding Rest Ministries. Findingrestmin.org. Finding Rest exists to Redeem the lost, Restore the broken, and Refresh the weary. I share devotionals and teachings on YouTube and Substack, reminding others that no matter how heavy life feels, God’s Light still shines. Writing, ministry, and creativity are all part of the same calling—to bring words of hope to anyone who needs them.

When I’m not writing, you’ll often find me dreaming up new stories, enjoying quiet moments with my husband and our five dogs, three goats, and one cow, living for moments with our grown kids, or simply resting in God’s presence. Thank you for being here. I’d love for you to explore my books, connect with my ministry, and join me on this journey of faith and light.
