Author Biography

Give Hope to Others:

Over twenty years ago, during a very dark period of my life, a someone spoke into my existence saying I would write a book and it would help many. My faith in my Father and that truth gave me the hope I needed to overcome. I am here to walk that journey with you and share the same good news and hope in living a full and purposeful life. In addition I want to challenge people to help others, to put your own struggles aside and walk with others in the storm. Be family where there is none and make the world a better place. #Live a #Purposeful #Life and be #Saved
