Any of which could seem like major obstacles to most. After eighteen years of stability and constant growth, my life started experiencing dramatic hurdles. I have been unemployed three times over the last four years for a large portion of those years. My drive and ambition haven’t changed so it was hard to understand why my circumstances changed so much. A twenty year relationship to my spouse was brought to an abrupt end. My current living conditions have become uncertain. Once my marriage finally ended I decided to move back to the area I grew up with the youngest of my sisters Janette, who was going through a similar situation. I saw this as an opportunity to get my life back on track. My finances were in disarray and it seemed like the most logical solution to what was happening in my life. Shortly after returning home I hit yet another hurdle. My sister was going through marital issues of her own and had to leave her home in order to get her situation going in a positive direction for her own sake. Instead of it being a new beginning for me, it became yet another setback in my life so now she and I are going in reverse together. The only positive situation is still negative because I am no longer alone in my time of turmoil. Everything still appears to look bleak and now not just for me. All of my troubles seem to start once I seriously decided to follow Christ over four years ago. I was told that the walk would not be easy but I never expected it to be quite this hard. I know this may sound like a sad story but it’s quite the opposite. In this book I wish to show you Gods glory in the midst of all my troubles.

About the Book
This book is about a man who, in his heart, found himself convicted by God and wanted to get his life back on track. Along his journey God revealed Himself and gave him insight and understandings well beyond what he had ever hoped for. Because God repaired his fractured life and restored his soul, he felt an obligation to share his testimony and to pass this information along to all who will read it to help them to do the same. What he found out was that the world is not what it portrays itself to be. Many struggle and have no clue as to why they are struggling and furthermore have no clue where to begin to right their ship. This book puts God, your life and this world into a perspective that is easily understood so that you can withstand any storm that life may throw your way. It reveals things within Christianity that has been misunderstood and brings about clarity and enlightenment to your everyday living. This is not a book of fairytale or fantasy, it is rooted in reality. It does not sell a dream of health and wealth but what it does is show you the way to achieving a peaceful life. Religion can enslave you and have you living in fear of eternal damnation just as many other things in this world. It can also inspire, empower and liberate you from anything that attempts to contain or control you. This book is designed to inspire, empower and liberate you so that this life and the afterlife can be enjoyed and not feared. It reveals a simple, common sense, no nonsense way to your future destiny. You are all invited and welcomed to take this life changing journey.
About the Author
Originally born in Washington DC but raised in Mullins SC from a youth to adulthood. Joined the US Navy at eighteen an served one term. Resided in Florida for the next twenty years, mainly in Pensacola, where worked as a commercial roofer and I helped to raised a family. I returned home to South Carolina where I currently reside in Nichols SC and my future is unknown and uncertain but thats a good thing as far as I'm concerned. Several years ago I had a spiritual revelation that changed my life. I have always been artistically inclined but I never thought that I would become a writer. God used my talents in a way I never thought possible and now since I follow Him and no longer attempt to lead myself, He continues to surprise me. Battling The Storm is my first book that explains this transformation. Since then my writings have continued to include more understandings based on those revelations, creative writings and even poetry. All are designed to bring spiritual peace in your life and to sooth your soul. Also to answer questions about our existence, all from God, through me, to you. I hope they help put life into a greater perspective for all who read and possibly give this world a much needed spiritual makeover. God Bless.
