A Note To Readers
When I started Through The Storm I wanted the book to be fast paced and suspenseful. Then an unexpected thing happened. I attended a Prayer Journey at my church and I knew that I had to share that experience with my readers. When I arrived at my church for this journey I didn’t realize that I had unforgiveness in my heart. But I decided to be honest with myself during every stage of the journey – and yes, I had to put several rocks in my basket, but by the end of the journey, with the help of God, I was able to get rid of each rock. Hallelujah! When I left my church that day my plans for Through The Storm changed. I know wanted to get one pertinent thing across to my readers. PRAYER IS POWERFUL!
I truly believe that Christians (me included) get so caught up in our day to day problems that we forget to pray about our situations. Instead, we rush in and try to fix our problems without even bothering to ask God for a solution. But what if God is in heaven just waiting to send His angels to fight our battles, if only we would take the time to ask Him? It’s a wonderful thought isn’t it? I believe it’s true. I believe that God wants to see us safely through our storms.
This entire book was built on James 5:15: The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
I hope, if nothing else, Through The Storm encouraged you to pray about the things in life that concern you-because God is concerned about you and wants to raise you up.
Until the Next book,

Through the Storm
Isaac Walker had once been a heavy handed drug lord, who was proud of the fact that nobody dared to mess with him. But after dedicating his life to the Lord, Isaac began snatching wayward souls out of darkness and into God’s marvelous light. That is, until the day the people Isaac ministered to started coming up missing and a maniac began terrorizing him and his family. Before giving his life over to the Lord, Isaac would have handled this situation with a Glock. But now that Isaac’s only weapons were his Bible and prayer he was counting on God to send His angels to help him fight this battle.
Iona Walker was successful, beautiful and every bit as cold blooded as her father, Isaac Walker had once been. As a lawyer she represents some of the most unsavory criminals in her city. Guilt or innocence doesn’t matter to Iona; cash is what counts. Iona is on her way to making a lot of money, and she doesn’t care that she had to turn her back on God to get it. But when Cynda Williams, Iona’s mother is diagnosed with a life threatening illness and then Iona gets kidnapped, she discovers that all the money in the world won’t help her get a prayer through to God.

Rain Storm
Beautiful and lethal, Cynda Stephens, expects nothing from life but the same kick in the head she’s always been given. Wearing her anger and bitterness on her sleeve, Cynda’s hatred for life and men grow as her addictions grow and force her into prostitution. Keith Hosea Williams is a God fearing man who had always refused to compromise his spiritual walk. But when he is convinced that God has called him to marry Cynda, will he allow her lifestyle and addictions, as well as what man thinks, to overpower the will of God?
Despite each of their personal struggles, Cynda’s heart opens up for Keith in ways that she never expected, but her thoughts of unworthiness eventually cause her to run away from a love she desperately wants to call her own. She then discovers another love even greater than the love Keith has given her. It’s a love that she had been blind to, but a love that had been with her for all the days of her life; a love that refuses to let her go no matter how hard she tries to fight it off. But until she accepts this love into her life, into her heart, only then can she receive all that God has to offer.

Former Rain
When it rains it pours, just ask Elizabeth Underwood or Nina Lewis. They thought the unfaithful men in their lives caused their storms, but as they are forced on a journey of self-examination, they realize that something greater than a “do right” man is needed to heal the hurts that trouble their souls.
Kenneth Underwood and Isaac Walker want to rid themselves of the selfish, ungrateful women in their lives. Kenneth, a successful businessman, is planning to divorce Elizabeth, his wife of 7 years. Isaac, a man of the street and Nina’s former lover, has a more final solution to rid himself of his problem.
Will they allow the grace of God to heal and restore the shattered lives they have created, or are they forever destined to go through the storm?
