The first book of The Healer Saga: The Gift of Suffering, is a story of faith, perseverance and hope. Jason is an usual young man in many ways. He struggles with dyslexia and a severe stutter, which earns him the dubious title of learning disabled (LD), just another way of saying Loser Dude. He also has the rather unique ability to decipher vibrations from a person’s body to reveal the mystery of what ails them. Maybe that’s why he can also see beings from the other side. At the tender age of fourteen, Jason’s fragile faith in God is shattered when he tragically loses his father. His young life takes a dangerous turn after he discovers what really happened to his father and who is responsible for his death. Descending into an extraordinary spiritual journey, he is taken to a place filled with intrigue and wonder. It is there he discovers the deepest of ancient secrets, and how the gift of suffering comes to all who wish to achieve true greatness.

About the Author:

Terri Giles-Exum was born in Tampa, Florida in 1962 into a large extended family. Along with her sisters and cousins, they grew up on rural land acquired by her maternal grandparents. They rode horses, camped and fished nearly year round. Discovering a love for writing at an early age, many hours were spent dreaming up poems and writing short stories. Marrying at an early age to a military man, she followed him around the country. They had two children and eventually settled into Augusta, Georgia. It was here she began her work with special needs children that would eventually inspire The Healer Saga, a work of spiritual/historical fiction, which include The Gift of Suffering and Wings of Redemption. In 2002 Terri was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, an auto immune condition that plagued her maternal grandfather. The mechanics of writing became very painful due to the destructive nature of the disease. After experiencing numerous side effects caused by prescription drugs, she visited a holistic doctor and discovered the true path to healing. Without the use of medication, she sent her condition into remission. During the writing of The Healer Saga, she was healed. She attributes her restoration to the mighty power of Jesus Christ, who guided her back to health.
