As Instructed by God God designed every part of this work, from my journey to the book's content and cover. God meant for the tears, the growing pains, and the experiences I had to mature and be a blessing to you through this book. I'm sharing with you God's instruction on developing your spiritual self through prayer, fasting, obedience, exploring your spiritual gifts and celibacy, and achieving personal growth by becoming self-aware, incorporating wellness, and being prudent regarding finances. Together, we'll explore how and why these ingredients are necessary to become the person God called you to be. Are you ready? "You shall walk in all the way which Yahweh your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess." Deuteronomy 5:33, World English Bible
