About Christian Author: A. C. McGuire
Hi, I’m A. C. McGuire — Christian author, blogger, and lifelong lover of books and pretty things. I believe beauty matters, words carry weight, and that faith can move mountains.
My heart beats for stories — especially the kind that point to something greater than ourselves. I write to share the good news of Jesus Christ: His grace, His mercy, His forgiveness, and His love. My goal is to remind others that they are not alone in this world; that there is a light stronger than the darkest night, and that hope has a name and His name is Jesus.
However, my story didn’t start as a Christian.
Most of my life I did not know God. I claimed to be an atheist, but looking back at my life, it’s fun to see how God was always there, even when I believed He wasn’t. After some dark moments in my life, I turned to crystals, reiki, yoga, and other New Age practices, where I was just trying to search for a hope – an answer to my pain. But the darkness and depression continued to consume me…
But GOD IS GOOD. He pulled me out of the pit of death and gave me a new life. He gave me a future and joy that can never be taken away. He saved me and gave my life a purpose.
Before God, I wrote only of darkness, depression, demons, and pain. After God, I still write about those things, but only to share that God saves you FROM those things! And what a joy it is to share the goodness of God and the hope that is in Jesus.
Every page I write and every blog I share is a reflection of not only my initial rescue, but of every other rescue that has come since. For this life is a continuous battle, with many ups and downs. And sometimes our flesh fails us badly. But God pulls us out of the pit every time, so long as we turn back to Him as quickly as possible; knowing that HE is the only thing that satisfies our hearts and souls forever.
He does it; it really does it! He finds the lost, He heals the broken, and He redeems every piece of our story.
Thanks for stopping by. I pray these pages encourage your heart and point you to the One who saves.
God Bless,
A. C. McGuire

The story of
A. C. McGuire
From the moment I learned how to read and write, I never stopped. I don’t remember a time when I wasn’t reading a book or writing a story. This passion never left me, and I taught myself the art of writing at a very young age. I knew this was what I was born to do.
Through the trials and tribulations of almost everyone around me telling me being an author was not a viable career choice, I failed many times to believe in myself. But the grace of God washed over me and gave me hope and assurance that being an author is what He created me to be. I followed in His ways for my life and here we are, with 10 published books in 5 years.

I think the person who came up with the quote “sticks and stone may break my bones but words will never hurt me” was an emotional manipulator who told this to his victims so they would accept his perverse tongue… And somehow it became a common saying of society; for parents to teach their kids. But why? Why are we teaching our kids that words mean nothing, when the BIBLE says quite the opposite? Ah, yes, because it’s a classic way of the world and Satan’s plan to teach people to sin and turn them against God…
I was just speaking to my husband about this, yesterday in fact. I think it is such an important time to reflect – not only as Christians, but as anybody in this world right now. Ask yourself:
What really matters to you?
What are your beliefs?
What are your values and morals?
And then: What are you waiting for?…
Even with the sun shining; even with all the lights on in the house; you are still consumed by the darkness. Because this type of darkness invades the soul, the heart, the mind. This type of darkness leaves you with not even a window to climb out of. It has buried you 6 feet under ground. And so you wallow in despair and self-pity and depression.
I know this type of darkness all too well…
