Book Cover & Preview Text
The events in this book are real. I deliberately placed the chapter “God Doesn’t Lie” after my first meeting with Jesus to show that this book is not a work of fiction. It is my responsibility to drive home the fact that I am dealing with spiritual beings from another dimension—the dimension humans often refer to as heaven. Part of that dimension is populated by spiritual beings who would rather harm you than help you. So be aware that every foreign thought that enters your mind may not be from God but could be from His adversary, the prince of darkness, or his followers. An excellent source of information on spiritual guidance is Bob Mumford’s book Take Another Look at Guidance.
I could share some rules that I have created to discriminate between thoughts, but I have broken every one of those rules at some point and been OK with it. Develop your own personal relationship with the Lord. Like any personal relationship, there will be ups and downs. Relationships take time. This one is no different.

A young mother is left alone with her two young children for a week while a serial killer hunts in her community. In a near panic, she prays to God, whose existence she thinks questionable, issuing him an ultimatum: prove You exist. He does. This is her true story.
About the Author
Antonia Childe is not a preacher, pastor, or evangelist. She is a woman who was born into poverty, near the Appalachian coalfields. After entering college, she self-reliantly struggled with the time and funds needed to complete her education. She graduated with a strenuously sought after Bachelor of Science degree and a teaching credential. She went on to teach in private and public schools for over twenty years. While living in an agricultural area, she became the guide dog leader for the 4-H youth in her community raising guide dog pups. She also taught reading to women who were sheltered at a local battered women’s safe house, enabling them to get their driver’s licenses.
Politics have always had a place in her life. She has volunteered for a candidate in every national election since she was old enough to vote. As a liaison between the Christian churches in the nearby city, she coalesced them into raising an important voice for women’s rights. Antonia volunteered for the Red Cross and served on its local board. She also ran marathons for the Leukemia Society of America. After spending many years in the mountains, she contracted a severe case of Lyme disease that would not respond to treatment. She found it necessary to move to a cooler climate and now lives Lyme free.
