I needed this book NOW! This is just TD Jakes doing what he does best. I needed a breakthrough. I needed a revelation. I needed some answers to the questions that had been plaguing me for the last 4 months. Why Lord why? Why must things be so HARD! I've spent nights wandering around my home and staring out the window at night looking at the stars and being thankful just to see another sunrise. My life has been in such turmoil and anguish...from sickness that never leaves to restarting my business after a contract ended to failed business deals when the government shutdown to almost losing my home because I just couldn't get anything to work out. But thank you God...Jesus was there and I had such revelations about my ministry and my business and my purpose but the strongholds of this world just wouldn't let me go! I was starting to minister again in the prison system and I was working with the kids in foster care in my community and praying for my husband to come home from prison when the laws are on his side but we're face with a judge with a mission that's standing in our way...I needed this book...my husband needed this book...my ministry partners needed this book...so for Easter I bought this book in multiples...I sent a book and a study guide into the prisons...I sent a book and study guide to my husband in hopes that God would reveal the mysteries of his delays in releasing him after serving more than 10 years more than he should have and I bought the book because I needed a word from Jesus...I needed to know that my path was still in his will...I needed hope to be restored to my life so that I could preserve and continue to teach and preach and train those that God had given me to serve.

I started this book at midnight on Easter morning and I only stopped to sleep until Church at the Potter's House started online and then right after Church I picked up where I left off and I finished it in 10 hours because I couldn't put it down...I was on my way...I could feel the peace of God in my heart...I had hope again...I needed this word...I needed the revelation...I needed Jesus and he was right on time! So I thank you Bishop TD Jakes for ALWAYS being my guide through my adult life...you have helped me when I was called to serve and you have helped me in making key decisions in my life and my ministry and you are still helping me now when I needed your revelations and your experiences to help guide me through the crushing moments...the pain is so great but I'm standing strong...I bought a bag of apples just the other day and when my food was getting low I chuckled to myself because you had just spoken about a time when you and the Jakes family had apples you picked by the side of the road for a supplementary meal when you were in need of food and then I knew...I knew that I would be able to follow in your footsteps and that my family would survive as well...its just the little things that can turn misery into ministry and I thank you and I pray for you and your family to stay protected and in good health to continue to do the work that God has called you to do...your life matters and what you teach is working in our lives! Continued blessings on you!

PS. I have a Facebook family of almost 5K and yesterday I blew up the book on my pages to let people know to get a copy and to read it too! Thank you for your service...you literally save lives.
