BLURB:
Life
is the journey we take on our way to Heaven. It's not easy, it's not pretty,
and sometimes, it's downright difficult. However, we have an Advocate unlike
any other, Jesus Christ. In Shine His Light, the author uses scriptures and her
own life lessons to help others get through the bumpy spots.

Excerpt One:
When I was a kid, the series “Star Trek” was the greatest
sci-fi show on TV, with the most up-to-date special effects. People disappeared
in the transporter, we saw the Enterprise fly through the stars at warp speed,
and of course, we saw really strange people and creatures from other planets.
Sometimes, the planets were inhospitable and wouldn’t support life as we know
it, so the crew moved on.
Of course, it didn’t take long for technology to leap
forward and when I watch the old “Star Trek” episodes now, the special effects
seem so antiquated, they’re something we laugh about. We can take what is
already there and turn it into something better, something brand new and more
efficient but we can’t take nothing and turn it into something. Only God can do
that.
When God’s Spirit hovered over the face of the waters, He
did not think it was inhospitable or that nothing could ever come from it. God
looked at the waters and thought, I can make dry land. I can make light. I can
take some of that dirt and form a human being. And that is exactly what He did.
But He did not stop there, He formed a human being from a pile of dirt and
then, He did something remarkable, He breathed His own Spirit into that pile of
dirt and gave it life. That pile of dirt became the first man—a living, breathing,
moving, thinking person. And God said it was “very good.” Up until then,
everything created was called “good,” but man and woman were “very good.”

Living in today's world is getting more and more difficult.
The corruption of governments, law and order, and the very morals and values
we've been raised by are eroded more and more.
In my book, Shine His Light 3 Instructions in Life, I want
to give the readers hope and show them that no matter how the world seems to
spin out of control, there is still hope and peace in our lives. Like a tornado
or hurricane, when the spin, everything on the outside is being torn apart, in
the eye of the storm, it's calm.
Using everyday situations in Shine His Light 3, I hope to
show that the truths of the Bible are still true today and applicable to our
lives. Life is never easy and bad things happen to good people but no matter
how bad life gets, we can still have peace in our mind and spirit. Jesus Christ
is the way, the truth and the life, and when we place our faith in Him, we
learn to depend on His love, mercy, and grace even when life is at its worst.
