About the Book
Garfield A. WRAY, (Ian) has courageously put pen to paper to write this book. He has chronicled the illness which threatened to change his life from that of an active bank employee, father, husband and student at the UWI to a man with a severe disability. His faith and persistence has taken him through his ordeal.
This book is at the same time therapeutic and informative and it encourages those facing a disabling illness to keep fighting and believing.
He must be congratulated for his efforts which have gone beyond the medical diagnosis of doom and gloom to effect rehabilitation and redemption.
— Hillary Robertson-Hickling (DR.) Lecturer UWI
About the Author
Born in Jamaica, Garfield, now a Minister is the third child of Frederick and Jollitee Wray and father of two sons, Roderick and Dominic. As a teenaged Christian he became a backslider. A regrettable deed, after about ten years, he was ‘reclaimed’ on Feb. 15, 1997 in a Grant’s Pen Road, UPC, crusade in Jamaica.
Gratefully he re-embraced the seeds of Faith, love and zealously serve the Lord God Almighty. God has kept him. A few years later he was ordained as a Minister at Greater Grace Temple (Shiloh) Apostolic Church on Deanery Road, Jamaica. Renewed spiritually, he sought to grow educationally and later graduated with a BSc. Management Studies at the University of the West Indies. He was a part of the University And Colleges Apostolic Ministry, (UCAM) and also ‘The Office For Special Student Services, (OSSS). His faith in God Almighty was sternly tested in the failure of his health and had to take a leave of absence on medical grounds as a result of years of physical challenges. His brain, eyes, speech, and walking were affected.
God helped him trough his words, The Holy Scriptures tells us in Proverbs 4:18 that. ‘The path of the just is as a shining light shinning more and more unto a perfect day.’ Like king David, he admits that, ‘Before he was afflicted he went astray’, but “There hath no temptation taken you except that which is common to man but God is faithful and, with every temptation will provide ‘a way of escape’ that ye may be able to bear it.” 1st. Cor. 10:13. He did.
He completed his Bachelors years later, and is living for Jesus, knowing the battle is the Lord’s. With this warm engaging memoir, He seeks to encourage the afflicted and their family and friends. He shares some of his experiences as a testimony of God’s faithfulness, goodness and grace. Knowing that what, ‘The Great Physician’ what has done for him and others he’ll do for you, and you and especially you. Be encouraged and victorious as you read on, your faith will be lifted. You will move mountains.
Thank God Almighty
