About the Author

Dedication

this book is dedicated to my loving husband, Enock, my spiritual adviser and coach; our loving son, Keenan, and our extended family. It is written in loving memory of Kaydene Bunting, our daughter, whose life has inspired us. She has gone ahead of us to be at home with the Lord; she has left us with so many treasures that will continue to enrich and enhance our lives. I thank God for the legacy of faith she has left us with; it is the utmost treasure we will ever possess.

This book is also importantly, warmly, and lovingly dedicated to God. God deserves all the praise, adoration, love, and acknowledgement for His amazing grace and mercy. He truly is who and what He says He is, ‘the Alpha and the Omega’.

‘And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power forever and ever. Amen’ (1 Peter 5:10–11).

All these items were sent by God through you. They all carried profound messages that God wanted me to
