Book Description
Who am I? How do I learn more about God? How can I have a closer relationship with God? After all I have done, how could God even want me? I am not worthy, so why would He care? These are just a few of the questions that prompted the writing of A Closer Walk. Come with me as I share this journey from disaster in life to delight in the Lord. Climb aboard as I travel from one signpost to another that leads the way home and shout joyously with me, “Abba, Father!” Share the laughter and the tears that bring me onto His lap and into the safety of His arms. Climb up there with me, and enjoy the gift of being adopted into the family and heir to the kingdom. Reach for the wisdom that comes with studying His Word, and learn with me to love again. Say with me, “Every day in every way, I will walk closer with Him.”

Book Description
It was only a few years ago when God shed his light on me and anointed me with the gift of writing poetry. He opened my eyes to understand from the scripture that I read. A powerful message came down from above and descended here on me. The grace of God bestowed on me the special gift that was given. It burns in my soul and lets the words flow on the paper it was written. May I thank him daily for what he has given to me. May my heart yearn to do his will, to use this gift he placed in me, to see the mighty hand of God, the creator of all things, who used a humble servant and made her a child of the king!

Book Description
The call disconnected, but I still held the receiver. I felt detached. This couldn’t really be happening. It must be a mistake. The realization washed over me that Ken was in trouble, but I never imagined how critical the situation was or the extent of how our lives would change. What happens when life turns against you, when from complete darkness you cry, “Where is the light?” Where is hope when the pit of pain you’re in is deeper than your worst nightmare? Who do you turn to when you feel like you can’t take one step further? Where is God in all this pain? Can we trust Him? After her husband suffered catastrophic injuries on a construction site, Sharon had to face the reality that her life had changed and would never be the same again. By turning to God, and confronting the challenges in her own faith walk, she determined to face head-on a more difficult journey than any she had imagined for her young family.

Book Description
Doreth was born and raised in a Christian environment. Her parents were ardent Christians who taught their household about the mercies of God and his profound love and caring for mankind. Her parents emphasized the importance of studying and memorizing the Holy Scripture. Also writing God’s word on the table of their heart with the hope that when older that these words would not depart from them. From her early years, she was overwhelmed with the relationship that the man of God, Enoch, established with God while walking with him as Enoch developed a friendship and bond with God. It was difficult to understand God’s patience and profound interest in mankind. Although they exhibited such rebellious behaviour, ingratitude and preferred to worship idols, God contrived means to save and restore man back to him. The chosen whom He called to carry out his plans on earth, some of these men are in this book. As she researched the Holy Scriptures, Doreth was greatly blessed and her spiritual vision was enlightened. She prays that everyone who has chosen to read this book will be spiritually blessed while discovering their purpose for living and experiencing a closer relationship with God. Most importantly, it is her great hope that readers will have a greater understanding of God’s love, grace and mercy towards mankind.
