When I first starting writing this Book, I was told by a Sister-in-Christ who is a retired teacher and now counsels others, as well as, a book author herself, who wrote a bible study book on prayer called "My Soul Thirsts For God." She told me that she had her non-fiction Book published to help others grow in their relationship with Jesus. In 1998-2011 I meet a wonderful, engaging, women who had a deep personal relationship with Jesus. I call her my imaginary friend, because in all the years I knew her, we never spoke to each other face to face. Only by using the telephone, and our spiritual connections were transforming, and life changing. Her voice was deep and her wisdom was in abundance. She, my mentor told me through our conversations that the Lord wanted me to write a book for many to read. That I am suppose to tell how to come out of darkness, the place of bondage, to a triumphant life with Jesus Christ. In order to do this, I had to quote a lot of scripture passages and become vulnerable to my reading audience. I tackled very tough subjects in this first book in a series, starting with being born again, building a foundation of truth, getting focused, confession, forgiveness, dying to self, and lastly, how God's Love is not the same as human love. I also looked at racism, prejudice, covetousness and lasciviousness in light of the conversations I had with my imaginary mentor and confidant. I looked deeper into confession and forgiveness, because I was told that many today just do not know how to repent, confess their sins, and receive forgiveness, in order to have, peace and reconciliation in an already broken relationship. People do not want to heal their fragile marriages anymore, and they turn away from their faith, to do what gratifies their flesh, with no regard for any personal consequences that will arise and destroy their lives. It is my sincere desire to help those who need to make a change in their lives, who are stuck in self-centeredness, and who live for themselves, instead, of our Loving Creator, and His Son Jesus Christ. I have included a short prayer of repentance in my book for those who want to ask Jesus into their hearts and the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. I have been very open, and bold in my style of writing, and said what I believe is the truth of God's Word by sitting at Jesus Feet. I give God the Father, Jesus Christ His Son, and the Holy Spirit all the Glory and Honor that is due to their names I look forward to meeting some of you in person and pray that the words I have shared in this book with encourage, strengthen, and minister grace to the hearers and bring Peace in the midst of many storms.
