About the Author

Gail and Tony McWilliams have five miracle children the doctors said they would never have. Gail gradually lost her eyesight with each pregnancy. While carrying her second child, the doctors saw the pattern of some health complications as they bullied her to abort the second child she was carrying. She recalls the doctor saying, “Gail. You have to decide today between your baby and your eyes. “When she said, “I choose my baby,” the doctor stood up and slammed shut her folder and said, “What a foolish decision,” and left the room. As she sat alone she remembered a verse she had memorized as a young girl. It says, “I have set before you life and death; blessing and cursing; choose life that you and your descendants might live.” She states, “In my darkest hour vision was birthed.” Her remarkable story and tenacious spirit still resounds as she proclaims, “Life is the gift.”

Gail McWilliams has an instinctive ability to capture and lift the spirits of people, empowering them for a renewed reach toward dreams and purpose they once thought impossible. She has a vivacious personality, effervescent humor and an uncanny capacity to deliver her life-message. No wonder Gail is met with such broad and energetic approval across the nation as she delivers penetrating inspiration, motivating audiences to ascend new summits.

She couples courage with a joyful determination to seize every day for good and blaze a triumphant trail for others to follow. She has extensive experience in public speaking, television and radio, is a recording artist and life coach, and is a compelling author. Gail hosts her own national radio feature; Seeing Beyond with Gail McWilliams.

Her first book, Seeing Beyond: Choosing to Look Past the Horizon, with foreword by Zig Ziglar, captured the attention of people worldwide, leaving them wanting more. She responded with another book entitled Engaging the Heart: Understanding the Treasure Within. Some highlighted events include appearing with Texas Governor Rick Perry, on Life Today with James and Betty Robison and at Focus on the Family.

Gail has also gained international experience in Mexico where she spoke nine times in five days, including Colima University. She appeared recently in Spain, where she spoke fifteen times in eighteen days to a variety of audiences, including some ruling members in the Parliament in Barcelona.

Editorial Reviews

I am gratified to have had the pleasure and honor of knowing Gail and Tony McWilliams over recent months. Her story is one I believe can be an encouragement to countless people who are struggling with the complexities of day-to-day life in our world.

Gail writes as if she is having a conversation with the reader. It’s easy to feel her heart through her words. I find particularly refreshing the depth of honesty from which she shares.
