YOU’RE NOT THE ONLY ONE

Hello Friends! So glad you’re here. I am so thrilled to introduce you to my latest book, “You’re Not The Only One.” I began writing this book years ago, inspired by the desire for young women to feel seen, loved, and encouraged! This is the friendly book I wanted to have when I was a teen and young adult, so my prayer is that it is an answer to your prayers! Think of this book as a GPS to navigate the turbulent times we experience in life and imagine God the Father holding you, and your hand, as you journey through its pages! Happy Reading Friends!

What Others Are Saying

Alvin Love III – Grammy/Dove award winning music producer, minister & friend

“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Rachel for over 25 years. She is the perfect example of someone who has protected the goodness that was instilled in her by her parents and has taken that goodness to a greater level! She’s faithful, honorable, genuine, humble and bold all at the same time! Her world-class talent as a wife, mother, speaker, writer, and performer is only exceeded by her heart for Jesus and compassion for people. She’s bound for greatness regardless of which avenue she chooses to pursue. She’s one all the all-around best by a long shot!”

“The word that comes to mind when I think of Rachel is pure. It honestly covers everything I love about her. Her approach to life--pure. The angelic tone of her singing voice--pure. The intention behind her stellar acting skills--pure. The heart behind every interaction she has--pure. I get just as excited to hang out with her as I am excited to see her blaze the stage! She is a true representation of purity and beauty, you just can’t get that everywhere.”

"Born Rachel Elizabeth Gaines, she was one of the most celebrated arrivals of our family’s whole generation! She was such a beautiful baby that she became the talk of the maternity ward! But that beauty was only a shadow of things to come because the beauty that would manifest in her young heart would be so apparent it was palpable! It was as if she knew and feared God when she arrived! I sensed in her a deep conviction and connection with God that was far beyond her years, but from a father’s standpoint, she was my baby girl. I remember her mother and I doing a concert and altar call, Rachel came up and gave her heart to Jesus. There was more to come though, because the first time I heard her sit at a piano and play a classical piece by ear, I was astonished and though few may know this Rachel is still an amazing composer! When she walked across the stage at Western Kentucky University to receive her degree with honors, I was truly proud of the tenacity she had put into her schooling. When she fell in love with her husband Brian, what a delight it was to give her away to such a great man of God!  And in the same way, Paul said Timothy had the same faith that was in his mother and grandmother, her offspring Olivia and Briley are now manifesting the same faith! Rachel is that good ground upon which the word of God has fallen, taken root, and is yielding a hundredfold!"

“My friend Rachel is a gifted lady. A tremendous multi-talent! I love to hear her sing, but it’s not just that she has a beautiful soulful voice! Talk with her for just a minute and her gift with words and with people is unmistakable, genuine, and endearing. But behind all that is her greatest gift-she is captivated by her Lord. She sings, she speaks, she writes and His Light shines!”

“The first time I met Rachel I was in high school. She was speaking at a conference I was attending with friends. While there were over 10,000 girls in the room, we felt like we were having a girl's night and Rachel was personally giving us advice. Meeting here in person after her session was exactly the same. She was encouraging, personable and we walked away feeling inspired. Nearly ten years later, I still look up to Rachel and feel blessed to call her friend. Whether she's one-on-one or speaking to a crowd, Rachel remains one of the most relatable, hilarious and encouraging people I have ever met."
