I am Ptia Gilliam Mckelvin, a published author, motivational speaker, and life coach. I was born and raised in Woodruff, SC, and graduated from Woodruff High School. At a very young age, I realized that I had a joy for reading and writing. That love grew over the years, and I have written poems, songs, and speeches. I have now fulfilled a lifelong dream by releasing my first book, BREATHE: COPING AND CONQUERING GRIEF.
Breathe: Coping and Conquering Grief, is a powerful and inspirational book that speaks to seasons of grief and how you can overcome them. Through my testimony, you will receive hope and healing through the power of Jesus Christ. You will see and feel my trials and triumphs, but more importantly, you will find hope and strength in knowing that Jesus Christ is always with you, even in your valley moments. You will also see that there is victory even after the loss of a loved one.
It is my prayer that this book, BREATHE: COPING AND CONQUERING GRIEF, will breathe a new wind of hope and healing into your life. That you are compelled to serve, encourage and share this life-changing book and message of God’s provision and restoration with others.
Book Review: “Breathe: Coping and Conquering Grief is both comforting and inspiring. The transparency of the author offers a unique perspective that speaks to the heart of the reader. I did not want to put it down!” Dineitha Salmon
