About Gail Ruth

Gail Ruth, a very highly sensitive woman a bit past her half-century mark (is it suddenly hot in here?), is licensed as a registered nurse and has a master’s degree in psychiatric-mental health nursing.

A Christian for most of her life, she is well-grounded in the scriptures and has enjoyed several widely-divergent streams of Christianity. Dogmatically opposed to dogmatism (hmm . . . ?), she is in agreement with the matters of first importance as found in I Corinthians 15:3-8 and with the Nicene Creed.

She has sought a deep practical understanding of the grace of Jesus since Junior High School when she was confounded by the first several chapters of Romans.

In 2001 she had an entirely off-her-grid six-week visitation by the Holy Spirit, who taught her at length about Jesus and the kind heart of God. This opened up a new world for her, and she has been in a consuming process of transformation and learning ever since.

Under the Holy Spirit’s tutelage, she came to understand that what she’d long viewed as her greatest thwarting defect was in fact a gift of high sensitivity. She was surprised at how greatly He valued the trait. He taught her much about her gift and, over time, coached her in building better-fitting boundaries and encouraged her to live out of her heart.

Throughout her adult life, Gail Ruth has led a rich and varied life full of distinct seasons. Before her nursing career in hospital, home health, hospice, psych, etc., she had the privilege of working as a librarian, clown, Cinnamon Bear, cartographer, Alzheimers respite caregiver, and other sundry jobs.

At heart, she is both a scientist and an artist. Her hobbies include singing-songwriting, silkpainting, drawing, environmental medicine, alternative nutrition, the politics of food, and learning whatever subjects catch her insatiable interest.

She is crazy about Jesus. And He dotes on her, because of grace.
