Preface

It is my desire that each person who picks up this book will be able to reflect upon their own life.

I pray it empowers you and takes you to another level of spiritual awareness.

This book was not written just for men but also for women.

Writing this book has caused me to awaken spiritually to what is real and what is superficial.

I hope it challenges you to do some soul searching as you read every page and examine yourself.

Learn to cling to those things that matter the most, the things that would lead you to your real purpose, Then I believe it will be revealed to you what God’s plan is for your life and Wholeness will follow.
