When God Is with Me: Short Stories and Poetry of God's Intervention

By Frances Ann Spillers

When God Is with Me

I know that God is always with me, but there have been many God moments throughout my life where he miraculously intervened. In this book, When God Is with Me, I have written short stories and poems of instances when God revealed his power and grace. God doesnt work the same way in every persons life, but he does love us all the same. It is my desire that by exposing situations and circumstances in my own life, readers will see a glimpse of Gods divine intervention.

If you are experiencing loneliness, illness, despair, rejection, or hopelessness, there is hope for you through Jesus Christ. I am a living testimony of Gods grace, as you will read in this book. I pray this book will guide you to open your heart and your life to Jesus and let him bring healing and joy into your circumstances.

Frances Ann Spillers

Frances Ann Spillers was born and raised in Galveston, Texas, where she received much of the inspiration for her writing. At an early age, Frances began to have a passion for writing as it always revealed the way she felt about life, people, and her surroundings. She was an introvert and unable to share with her voice how she truly felt, so she learned to pen her feelings. Later in life, Frances trusted in God and began to share about His divine power with a strong voice. She believes her writing is a gift God gave her to express her thoughts about Him and how He intervenes for her personally. Her love for Him depicts the true feelings of her own life and His life through her. Frances hopes this book ministers to her readers and that it will draw their hearts closer to God and to His wonderful love for them.
