For many generations, stories have been an expression of thought, culture, and entertainment. From folklores to tales shared under the moonlight, one thing rings true: Stories show us where we've been, tell us where we are, and point us to paths uncharted. The 'single story' is often used to depict an incomplete narrative or stereotype. Nonetheless, the author commends it as a powerful prototype which can trigger life-changing conversations. "The Power of a Single Story" is a compendium of short stories guaranteed to keep you glued to its pages. It will evoke familiar emotions as you find yourself in these raw stories of faith and despair, family and betrayal, love and forgiveness.

"Party of One" focuses on the wisdom gained from one woman's journey to find acceptance and peace while living life as a single Christian. As a single Christian, life can be frustrating, worrisome, and confusing when we do not understand how God desires to work in our lives to fulfill His purposes while we are single. The foundational principle of this book is that responding to being single in negative ways shows that we are ill-prepared for godly relationships, much less godly marriages. Learning how to live the 'single life' the way GOD intends brings peace and contentment because life is not "put on hold" while waiting for that special someone. What we learn here is that God has a life full of purpose, joy, grace, and love in store for everyone - to include single Christian women AND men. The principles penned in this book are biblically-based and communicated humbly from the author's own experiences and faith journey. The author communicates with conviction as one who has "been there, done that". When diligently and prayerfully practiced, the insights shared will help single Christians avoid the pitfalls of being a Christian single in a secular world.

WHO IS GOD? GOD is the FATHER. GOD is the SON. GOD is the HOLY GHOST. GOD is self-existing in three divine persons but united in one Godhead. GOD is from everlasting to everlasting.

GOD is Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent. "Blessed Trinity" shares with the reader-whether a new believer, seasoned believer, or non-believer in Christ-the truth about GOD'S unconditional love for ALL. We are the apple of His eye! From the First Adam and how his sin in the Garden of Eden affected the entire human race to the "HERO" we now have in the Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ-the One who came to save us from the certainty of death because of our sins-"Blessed Trinity" gets to the "meat of the matter" by chronicling both Old and New Testament biblical events that prove: GOD IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER!
