Couple Minutes of Your Time

About the Book

Inspiration for the book Couple Minutes of Your Time The development of the book was from our inspiration posts but is mainly from our personal testimonies of overcoming this thing called life. Based on God’s biblical Word, trials will rise, but through the words of encouragement and inspiration, people will be reminded that they will overcome them and this, too, shall pass . . . In our experiences and faith, these words of encouragement have carried us through difficult times.
