ABOUT
GRACE
Two decades of faith-filled writing. One unwavering commitment to the Word of God.
Grace Elaine Mercer has spent over two decades writing at the intersection of faith, identity, and the transforming power of God's Word. A former pastor's wife turned full-time author and speaker, she brings theological depth and a storyteller's heart to every page.
Her debut devotional, Rooted in Grace, spent 28 weeks on the Christian Bestseller list and has been translated into 14 languages. Her follow-up, Called & Equipped, became a rallying cry for women stepping into their God-given calling.
Grace speaks at women's conferences, churches, and Christian universities on topics ranging from identity in Christ to building a Spirit-led creative life. She hosts The Faithful Voice podcast, where she interviews Christian authors, pastors, and ministry leaders about the power of faith-filled storytelling.
When she's not writing, Grace mentors emerging Christian authors through her foundation and teaches master classes in faith-based writing and ministry communication.
"One of the most important voices in Christian women's publishing today."
"Mercer writes with rare theological depth and even rarer warmth."
"A voice the Church desperately needs — honest, bold, and deeply rooted in Scripture."
