Book Cover & Preview Text
To be accepted by others is a feeling that most people share. No matter where you are right now in life, you want to feel loved and appreciated and know that you have the support of people whom you love and respect. In today’s world, acceptance from others is normally based on your outward appearance, personal status, or social status in life. Some people feel they are accepted because of their outer beauty or physical features. Some people find their acceptance based on their professions, living in a certain neighborhood, or being affiliated with particular clubs or groups of people. The standards society sets concerning acceptance can have a tremendous effect on you, if your focus is based on this type of acceptance. People tend to accept you based on their own personal standards, whether right or wrong. But God sees in you what others do not see, because God is not like people. In this place with God, you do not have to feel the need to be something that you are not, because God loves and accepts you just as you are – with no strings attached. God is full of love; He is ever ready to forgive and shower you with mercy twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
Being in this place with God provides you with a safe shelter from everything that tries to keep you from enjoying and overcoming difficult situations. This place is a constant shield from the many darts that are thrown at you in life. For the dart of rejection and low self-esteem, there is acceptance in this place with God. For the dart of betrayal and hurt, there is forgiveness in this place with God. For the dart of tough times and impossible situations, there is victory in this place with God. For the dart of not knowing where you fit in or finding your mark in life, there is purpose in this place with God.
You can find comfort and stability in this place with God regardless of where you are and who you are with. Nothing and no one can deprive you from being in this place with God. In this book, I want to take you on a personal journey of being in this place with God through finding your place of acceptance, forgiveness, victory, and purpose in life. My prayer is that you will be encouraged in knowing that there is no better place to be than in this place with God!

About the Book

“Kirkus Indie Book Review”
Coleman encourages readers by describing “this place with God,” a phrase she uses often to denote a believer’s personal relationship with God as a safe and comforting space in the midst of an often cold and cruel human reality. This “place” is characterized by four main qualities: acceptance, forgiveness, victory, and purpose. The author is careful to explain throughout her work that even though these qualities are often lacking in the world, the believer can be confident of possessing them within “this place,” this relationship with God. In an imperfect world, Coleman explains, believers can find a place of perfect peace with God. Throughout the book, the author deftly utilizes specific Scriptures and biblical stories to stress her point.
The author's writing is lucid and approachable, and her tone and subject matter should bring encouragement. A brief yet heartfelt and uplifting religious guide.
About the Author
Felicia Coleman is an author who writes out of her heart and passion for the word of God. As a woman of faith, she has found the joy of having a personal relationship with God beyond the church walls. She believes having a personal relationship with God is vital. Although Felicia was raised in a Christian family and accepted Christ at an early age, she did not fully embrace her faith until many years later, giving her a new purpose. Being an author was never an intended goal, but Felicia’s love for God and reading books inspired her to take a leap of faith and write. Felicia is excited about bringing spiritual inspiration and encouragement through her writing. Her personal message to others is never let your past hinder you from experiencing God’s divine purpose and grace for your life.
