Ulm Street

By Stephanie M. Captain

Thought provoking, soul searching, exhilarating, stimulating and restorative, are just a few words that grip my heart as I read Stephanies book Ulm Street. It captivated my mind from the onset. As Stephanies Pastor, she is well known to me to be a woman of great Godly character. She shows genuine concern and compassion for Gods people, especially those who are suffering physically, emotionally and spiritually. This comes across in the characters of this book. It is written in such a way that would cause you to see a mirror's reflection of your very soul.
This collection of short stories is fascinating and will take you on a spiritual journey that you will find restorative to your soul. As you embark on the journey captured on these pages you may find yourself saying revive me again, Lord. In a world that oftentimes seems to be on a Spiritual decline, with no hope in view, Stephanie reminds us that we have a Heavenly Father who is on this journey with us. He is offering restoration, salvation and healing to all that would dare embrace Him.

Thought provoking, soul searching, exhilarating, stimulating and restorative, are just a few words that grip my heart as I read Stephanie’s book Ulm Street. It captivated my mind from the onset. As Stephanie’s Pastor, she is well known to me to be a woman of great Godly character. She shows genuine concern and compassion for God’s people, especially those who are suffering physically, emotionally and spiritually. This comes across in the characters of this book. It is written in such a way that would cause you to see a mirror’s reflection of your very soul.

You will be inspired by Ahava Jones. Ahava in Hebrew means love. You will be encouraged by the deeply committed and loving relationship she has with her patient. You will see the Godly efforts she employs in awakening the thoughts and emotions of a woman that many thought was an empty shell. You will be intrigued and encouraged by this health care professional, as she cares for the total person from the inside out. The remarkable transformation that transforms this woman is totally uplifting. It will remind the reader to remember with God all things are possible.

This collection of short stories is fascinating and will take you on a spiritual journey that you will find healing to your soul. As you embark on the journey captured on these pages you may find yourself saying revive me again, Lord. In a world that oftentimes seems to be on a Spiritual decline, with no hope in view, Stephanie reminds us that we have a Heavenly Father who is on this journey with us. He is offering restoration, salvation and healing to all that would dare embrace Him.

He asked the prophet Elijah Can these bones live? He was referring to the nation of Israel. The answer was a resounding yes. The Lord is sending His revival fires to spiritually awaken every soul that would embrace Him. It is my hope that when you complete the journey on Ulm Street, you will know that the dead can live again and that we can all be a part of the family of God our creator. Life on earth is not over until God says it is over.

I encourage you to take a journey on Ulm Street and allow the Spirit of the Living God bless your souls in Jesus Name.

The Surprise

Jamie was beyond herself with excitement. For months now she had been planning, preparing and yes, stressing over the perfect party. After all this was her best friend. No one knew him like she did and she was even more certain no one loved him the way she did. It is not an easy task doing things behind your best friend’s back, but somehow she’d managed it.

The decorations were likening to nothing you’d ever seen. The entire room spoke volumes upon entrance. Color was everywhere and so were balloons, lights, sculptures, and center pieces. The room buzzed with chatter and exhilaration while the guests waited for the signal from the lookout person. An outsider looking in would have mistaken the place for a ballroom on Capitol Hill. Coattails swayed and swaged and dresses swirled, swooped and dipped. The jewelry rang, rippled, clicked and clattered but none seemed to notice. Only the best caters, the most skillful musicians, and the finest in their profession were in attendance.

The party planner had been wise in having the guests arrive an hour earlier than the scheduled party time. That way everyone and everything could be
