Story Behind The Book
Uncertainties in the human experience brings many challenges. One moment, one word, one decision, a crisis or tragedy can turn an otherwise ideal life upside down. Health issues, the loss of a loved-one, financial, relationship and lifestyle changes, or many other circumstances demand that you acknowledge and process a myriad of emotions. But the Holy Spirit is your Comforter, Helper and Teacher.
One of the keys to achieving healing, wholeness and well-being is to acknowledge that you don't like what you're experiencing. When you acknowledge your feelings it's easier to receive help. Through faith in God, prayer, praise and the scriptures, you will experience true comfort and peace in the heart and mind. You will be enabled to make necessary transitions from the effects of any crisis, affliction, tragedy or trial.
Whatever condition you're in, for whatever reason(s), a personal relationship with God, prayer and the knowing the scriptures is your source of comfort, healing, guidance and direction. You will have access to emotional, physical and spiritual-well being and wholeness.
