When dreams become words to share with others, amazing things can happen
I love seeing how the power of the written word can change a life or redefine a moment in time. This power is the inspiration for my stories. How something, or someone, who most see as simple and insignificant, can step forward on faith and become powerful beyond belief. It is the theme that God has used for thousands of years, turning ordinary men and women into powerful examples of what it means to live life to the full. I hope you enjoy these stories, lessons and discussions that God has put on my heart to write and share with you.

GUIDEBOOK TO WRITING YOUR NEW LIFE STORY
Your Eternal Legacy Awaits You
History teaches that any and every individual can be in control of their legacy, but only if they choose to embrace it. No matter what age, gender, race, intellect or economic background you come from, destiny finds a way to level the playing field for those who are brave enough to step out of the shadows in order to write their own legacy.
As glorious and inspiring as that might sound, most surrender the potential of their life stories and legacies to the will of others, never questioning where they are going or what waits for them at the end of their journey. However, there are a rare few who by chance or choice decide to step out of the numbing flow of religious ‘group think’ in order to reclaim the authorship of their life story and find the freedom to embrace the incredible life they’ve always desired and were created to live. Those are the ones who get to write their own eternal legacy and choose the glorious ending to their incredible story.
This guidebook is for you.
