About The Book: This is a motivational / Inspirational book that will inspire readers to continue to push forward, to never give up and always believe that it is never over until God says it's over. They will be moved by the real life obstacles that I have faced throughout life and encouraged by the way that God brought me through them. Readers will come to understand that God has a plan for their life and that everything that we go through shapes us to be the people that we are today. The Need for the Book: The need for this book is evident during this time of economic hardship. Too many people are losing their jobs, losing their homes, facing separation, going through divorce and losing hope. These types' obstacles and adversities can cause depression, hopelessness, despair and could even cause health problems or death. Through real life experiences from the author, readers will discover first hand that they are more than the stuff that they own, or the job that they acquire. They will come to understand that divorce or separation is not the end of their being. They will be determined not to give up, to seek alternative solutions and not allow what they are facing to destroy or cripple them. Excerpts from the Book: ""I am by no means all that I should be, but I can say that I am stronger, wiser and better equipped to move forward in life than I was when I started out. I now understand that my joy is not predicated on a person, that my hope is not in man and that my life is not something that just happens, but it is purposeful."" ""Many times we feel as if we are the only ones who have gone through anything and that no one else can understand or relate to our issues or concerns. Chances are, if we have gone through a problem, situation or dilemma that has caused hurt, pain, despair and heartache, someone else has gone through the exact same thing."" The Purpose of the Book: The sheer reason why I wrote this book was to simply glorify Jesus Christ and to encourage every reader. I felt driven to share my story and make a difference. Throughout my childhood and adult life I have faced many obstacles, hardships and adversities. My heart's desire is to share my story with as many people as I can with the hope and prayer that it will make a life changing difference in their lives. The expectation that I have for myself is to encourage someone who is going through life's difficulties.
