FOREWORD

I have known Dr. Beverley Forbes-Diaby for three years but knew of her for much more than that. As her Pastor, I have watched and experienced her integrity, work ethic, spirituality and sincerity. Dr. Forbes-Diaby’s great faithfulness to God has earned her the right to produce this book. The poetic expressions do not just reflect academic excellence, but are the outflow of a life tried in the fires yet one that remains victorious.

With careful rhythm and rhyme, Under His Wings woos the soul into a deep experience with God. The author seeks to share the strength and comfort that she found in God while being processed by Him in a multitude of trying circumstances.

The title of the book, Under His Wings, defines the place of rest, refreshing and blessed quietness that the author found in her relationship with God. Dr. Forbes-Diaby is an outstanding believer. She clearly has a strong devotional life and walks in the spirit of God. She is indeed a virtuous woman and possesses strong faith in the promises of God. Under His Wings speaks of the internal configuration of the faith and the strength she has found in Christ
