A Note To Readers
When I started Through The Storm I wanted the book to be fast paced and suspenseful. Then an unexpected thing happened. I attended a Prayer Journey at my church and I knew that I had to share that experience with my readers. When I arrived at my church for this journey I didn’t realize that I had unforgiveness in my heart. But I decided to be honest with myself during every stage of the journey – and yes, I had to put several rocks in my basket, but by the end of the journey, with the help of God, I was able to get rid of each rock. Hallelujah! When I left my church that day my plans for Through The Storm changed. I know wanted to get one pertinent thing across to my readers. PRAYER IS POWERFUL!
I truly believe that Christians (me included) get so caught up in our day to day problems that we forget to pray about our situations. Instead, we rush in and try to fix our problems without even bothering to ask God for a solution. But what if God is in heaven just waiting to send His angels to fight our battles, if only we would take the time to ask Him? It’s a wonderful thought isn’t it? I believe it’s true. I believe that God wants to see us safely through our storms.
This entire book was built on James 5:15: The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
I hope, if nothing else, Through The Storm encouraged you to pray about the things in life that concern you-because God is concerned about you and wants to raise you up.
Until the Next book,
Vanessa
Hi I Love to read and love to read black author book but being a Christian and trying to walk in God I always want to ready christian books so one day i was searching and said a quick prayer to myself to find a christian author with books that i would be intrested in and i found you and the first fook I read was Forgiven, then Forsaken and I loved them it took me a day maybe a day and half, but something about your books moved me, i would find myself laughing when something was fuuny or crying when it was sad, but most and best of all through reading i found myself stoping through out reading a praying just because. Today I just finished reading your storm series and Oh my God! God has gave you a gift that is so great it touches even through your writing b/ that series has touched my life so, i was battling somethings with myself and in my home with family but i felt like God knew what was going on i didnt have to pray, something i refuse to pray for( I know that sound bad) but sometimes you get that way when u let the devil in just a little, but reading the Storm series my God it brought me to a new place in God and just by stopping and praying no matter where your at makes a total difference everyday, I never took time out of my days to stop block out evertything and bow and pray. But now even just 5 mins does it and im praying that i contuine and go longer b/c without god Nothing is possible and just by reading that series allowed God to do something NEW in me and when I prayed about my situation it wasnt days or weeks but in a day of me praying I started to sdee changes in my household, and i Thank God for giving you your gift because you touched me( I feel if you just touch one person with the gift that God gives up we’ve done good) but im pretty sure their are more out there like mee that feel like you’ve help them get up the strength to call on JESUS in the time of need, and I just want to say THANK YOU so much and keep writing because i will keep buying them and reading them, matter of fact I’m going to buy one today. I see you been writing a while and i’ve only read 7 book so i have a long way to go but as long as God blesses me with the funds to buy them i wont stop. So when you get discouraged Don’t just think of all the people who read your book that God touches through your writing. God Bless you sista. Keep on in Jesus name.
