Perhaps you're a Christian, perhaps you're not.
If you are, this book was mainly written for you. Many of you are on this path because it resonates with you and brings you healing, comfort and a level of understanding. Some of you also grew up in a Christian background, went to Sunday school and always had a decent understanding of certain things from an early age.
You have prayed that you could get to know him more. The hunger and thirst you have for him continued to grow as you practised your faith and focused on him.
This little book will be an elaboration about having a relationship with the man many call Jesus and how he's really like. This book will be a monologue, but in some areas, a dialogue.

If You Love Me
"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023Complete
Stuck In A Shuttle
There's probably a ton of reasons why you are feeling the way you are feeling at this very moment. Sometimes emotions just sneak up on us without our realization and we drown our pains or sorrows by adapting to a certain pattern of living. We develop coping mechanisms per se. What if there was a reason why you experienced what you experienced? Your pain could be the very thing that microphones your way to the person you are meant to become. It could be a highway through which people could walk on in order to find the hope they are looking for. Why you? Why does it have to be you? Why not anybody else? Better yet! Why not you? Have you ever asked yourself that question? Pretty silly huh? Really though, why shouldn't you be in that position right now? Why should it be anyone else? What if your situation could be the answer you were desperately looking for? You can either look at your pain in your own perspective or you could tilt the angle a bit and change the focus. What if you were looking at it all wrong and asking the wrong questions?Complete

My Perfect Mistake | #Wattys2016 |
~COMPLETED~ | This story is being slowly edited. "As much as you want to plan your life, it has a way of surprising you with unexpected things that will make you happier than you originally planned. And that's what you call God's will." I gazed down at my swollen stomach, the place where my baby was growing and being kept safe, and gently rubbed it. A smile slowly formed onto my lips. "This baby is my perfect mistake." ********* Anabelle Marie Thompson is just your typical average teenager, except she studies hard and values books more than TV. She's just trying to get through her Senior year, so she can graduate with high honors and go to her dream school, Stanford, to become a lawyer.

Truth
I'm writing this in hopes that it helps someone who is going through something similar or has had a similar experience. In this book, some chapters may be long some may be short. It's going to talk about my experience with marriage, a relationship that followed after I separated from the ex husband, and a major event in 2024 that not only turned everything upside down, but opened my eyes and mind up to things I knew were there, but didn't think to much of. Some chapters will be long or short. This is a small book, nothing major it will only contain seven chapters.Complete
How I Found God
Through this work Andréa Maquelviski shows that when you decide to enter the path of God, your self-knowledge automatically begins, awakening your conscience even more. God offers full self-knowledge that you won't find anywhere else. The abandonment of your old self and the beginning of a new road in search of the One who has always been, is and will be with you eternally. We just need to awaken and enter the path is awakening. Bon voyage! How I Found God is a personal account of the trajectory of the search and encounter with God, however, much more than talking about religion, it is going beyond. To go beyond yourself is to find yourself in God. A search, a path, an encounter, a reunion and a rebirth. It is the certainty of correct choices, of self-knowledge without makeup, masks or magic formulas. It is the achievement of walking that leads to the transcendental. That starts with simple everyday choices that will lead you to chaos or raise your level of consciousness, making you understand who you really are and who God is. Resignations, questions, doubts, problems, everyone knows that this is part of the path, it is the necessary polishing for an encounter with yourself and God, there is no way to escape this, unless you want to close your eyes and let your life pass by. in blank. It is when you and God merge into one heart, free from prejudices, ties, judgments, anything or thought that spoils this union. For God, there is no color or race, nothing, that cannot reach Him. His merciful heart welcomes ALL those who desire a sincere encounter with Him. This is more than a calling, it is an invitation to love!Complete
