Written words…
I am a writer because I have realized that words are powerful. The written word is immortalized while the spoken word can fade with time unless revisited from time to time. Even then our memories can play tricks and make the spoken word a myth. So…I wanted to write a book that would help others longer than my lifetime.

A passage from my book that might bring you Hope! Words of encouragement… Paul, the author of Romans, reminds us of the importance of hope in our lives. Romans 8:24-28 NIV ” For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what is seen? But if we hope for what we do not see we wait for it with patience.
