About the Book
The purpose of writing this poetry book is to reach out to those who are children of God and those who do not know Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior. Jesus is the only one who can save you from your sins so you can have abundant life now and eternal life forever. She prays these poems will help you stay on the battlefield of righteousness to defeat Satan with God’s word and encourage others to become children of God to receive the promises he has for them.
Her poetry is a spiritual expression of pulpit sermons and life experiences. She is hopeful after reading these poems; the readers are inspired, equip, educate, and motivated to live a life of righteousness, a life of celebration, a life of overcoming obstacles in their everyday living, a life that will bring about change through sorrow and victories that will allow the reader to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
