About The Book
There is a sense of urgency in the atmosphere as God is transitioning what the world has deemed impossible and unbelievable into the possible and the believable. Don’t be alarmed by the "sudden" moves of God.
Pastor Douglass and his family have been positioned for such a move but because of the dense fog of deception that seems to surround them, some in the Douglass family have created their own beliefs, fabricating their own sense of self; negating the truth, God’s truth, even when truth is staring them in the face.  They, like many, are living lives devoid of the knowledge of who they really are and robbing themselves and those they love of their true identity and freedom. Deeply embedded lies from enemy have blinded eyes, impaired hearing and hardened hearts and Angels from the army of God have been deployed. The assignment: the execution of God’s divine design.  Dreams, supernatural revelation and actual attacks from man's ultimate foe will expose all and confirm God’s plan for Xion, Veronica, Zeborah, Bo and Pastor Douglas. Can they handle the truth and surrender? Will the infrastructure of unbelief crumble?  The lives of the Douglass family will never be the same and neither will you, because of THE SHIFT !

My Publishing Journey or How I Became a Published Author

Inwardly, I knew that I was not destined to be a “corporate woman” even when I thought I was happy being one. When my position was eliminated, I had inkling that it was God-ordained, at least for me.   A few years prior to this event, I’d resolved to reconnect with the Master and sought to draw nigh to Him. The desire to write had become a need and not just a desire.  I don’t think I would have been able to really hear God if I hadn’t been reconnected to Him. “Tell the world about Me with the words I will give you,” is what I heard. It was scary because, I realized that I would have to totally rely on Jesus.  TOTALLY!  Once receiving confirmation on different occasions, I began to believe that God would give me the words and began to write my first book; Awesome Wonder: The Gift of Remembrance. My yearning to please Him with the stories that I created increased. I realized that this could be my way of bringing souls into the Kingdom of God.  At the onset of this journey, my husband said something that enabled me to write with confidence; “If God told you to write, then write, and stand on His promises.”  I’m so excited and honored to be used by God to spread His message with the stories that I create. This is not to say that this journey has not been wrought with challenges and disappointment. There are times when I just sat and wondered if I should be doing any of this. People disappoint and companies confuse things but I will write for as long as God deems.  I will continue make Jesus the center of all of my novels for as long as He provides me with the stories and the words that will draw all men to Him.

I understood where the author was coming from and appreciated the points that she made, even though thwt are different then what I am used to. I am giving thi book a 3/5.
