Foreword

Greetings!

It is my pleasure to present to you a lady who is an excellent writer and one who has something of value to say. Her name is one that you’ll want to remember because you will see this one’s name many times in your days to come.

I’m speaking of Renee Boykins. Many years ago (in 1998), as the music pastor of the church that I was attending at that time (New Life Fellowship), I was conducting a Saturday morning meeting with the choir (The Voices of New Life) and Jehovah-Nissi (our Flag Ministry team.) As I spoke to everyone, the Lord began to speak, interrupting the proceedings, as only He can! I stopped speaking and looked about the room for Renee, as He definitely had something to say to her. I looked her way and asked her if she enjoyed writing. Renee responded, Yes. The Lord’s presence in the room was very pronounced! The Lord said, Renee is to be a writer, and He explained (in great detail) all that this act of faithfulness would entail.

I understand that Renee did try to pursue publishing opportunities that seemed available in the past, but she reached a dead end. To quote Renee:

It wasn’t until many years later, exactly two months ago, I was FINALLY able to connect with a Christian book publishing office in my hometown Little Rock, Arkansas. I am in the process of publishing a children’s book, and it’s entitled Sasha the Swan.

Now, what is this book about?

Well,
