About this ebook
It is important that we understand from a biblical perspective concerning the woman's fall from grace and being expelled from the garden of Eden. It involves the necessary steps taken in order for her to receive mercy, grace, justification, and salvation, which in turn will, first of all, provide forgiveness and redemption through the redeemed blood of Jesus Christ. Second, I'm hoping that this book will become a real force of reconciliation especially for those couples contemplating separation or divorce. Also recognizing the importance of a doctrinal belief system and how it affects the raising of children.
Furthermore, an overall viewpoint of marriage enhancement through questions-and-answers surveys to improve wife/husband longevity. The book ends with letters addressed to various personalities, including the experiences that I have encountered along the way, regarding these relationships.
Lastly, I must mention that the most important name in this book is Jesus! I pray that whoever reads this book and do not know Jesus knows no matter where you are in life. Take the time now and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Read Romans 10:9 and follow instructions. God bless. Amen.

About the Author
I dedicate this book to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. To God be the glory. I also recognize that I'm not worthy to do so. I feel like John the Baptist when he said in Matthew 3:13–17, Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbad him, saying I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
I humbly submit my self to the God of our fathers, for I'm the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus therefore, having been justified by His blood on yonder's cross, I can speak boldly because of my position in Christ and not because of anything good that I have done. Thank you, Father, for all that you do and for the things that shalt surely come to pass because of who you are. You are worthy of All praises and the Glory belong to you, in the wonderful name of Jesus Your Son.
Preface
My concerns are devoted to giving a biblical interpretation of a woman's fall in the garden of Eden. The necessary steps she is required to take in order to receive God's grace, mercy, and restoration ascertained by the redeemed blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I'm praying that this book will be a real force of reconciliation, especially for those couples contemplating separation or divorce. Let me begin by stating that a woman in her natural state is driven more toward self-help than helpmeet because of sin, and the eventual curse that was placed on her after the fall in the garden of Eden. It is only after woman has become regenerated or born again can she retain the balance given to her by God to function as a helpmeet. It is the power of the Holy Spirit within her that strengthens her ability to submit and yield to the leadership of her husband rather than having a desire to usurp her authority over him.
Satan's plan has always been to exploit and pervert anything that is good, which God has intended for man. The Bible reveals Satan's plan in the garden of Eden; however, God is omnipotent and Satan is already a defeated foe. Praise God from whom all blessing flows. In this walk of life, it is important for man to understand his wife. However, the world looks at it from a different point of view. First John 2:16 says, For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
So Satan is the author of the lie that a man cannot understand his woman. Jesus Christ identified Satan as the father of all lies, therefore, it is possible if you believe in Jesus, that a woman is not beyond understanding. The Bible teaches that with God, all things are possible.
Let me stop for a moment and ask you this question. Do you want to understand the woman God has placed in your life? The answer is simple and direct but require much study in the word of God. However, as you read this book, you will discover that I address these mysteries in detail using examples, as I explain the know-how in understanding your woman. It's with the knowledge and wisdom you gain after seeking God by committing yourself to reading the Bible and of course, putting God first. Jesus said, But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you
(Matthew 6:33). Then and only then will you acquire the power through the Holy Spirit to go to God in prayer in the name of Jesus. At which time, God will unfold the mystery of this woman to you. She is most precious in the sight of God and a gift from God. I have learned over the years how important it is to be in tune with your helpmeet.
It is amazing how awesome a woman can be and will be when God uses her. Of course, that goes for anyone else as well! I remember working on my car one evening and I was having a very frustrating moment, trying to figure out how to repair the problem. My wife came outside, walked over, and looked at what I was trying to accomplish, and believe me, I was getting nowhere. She said to me, That's not right, you need to do it this way and use that over there!
Now you know I'm already upset because I can't figure this problem out. Now she comes out and is going to give me instructions on something I know she doesn't know anything about! I'm ashamed to admit this now, but at that moment, I was really angry with her. Finally, I cool down a little bit; after she left, I tried what she suggested. After all, what did I have to lose? And by golly—pardon the expression—it really worked! My troubles were over, no more stress! It was fitted! At that moment, I suddenly realized! It was just too much for me to handle, but God! My prior behavior toward my wife was inexcusable. I had to apologize and keep it moving.
There was another occasion, which I will not discuss right now. Listen, men, I learned something from that experience. You see, if she knew very little about cars, I realize that God and God alone gets all the glory and praise because He spoke to my wife's heart and she became my helpmeet and my chief mechanic. In that moment, God knew I was in need of a supernatural experience and He used my wife to bring it to pass, praise God! This book indeed is written to help women find their way spiritually under the directions and instructions of the Holy Spirit. However, I would be highly remiss if I did not include a chapter in this book focusing on man's challenges, collaboration, and confrontation as he encounters a verbal intercourse with his woman.
Also, it's important for him to know how to conceptualize her attitude and behavior on any given Sunday, within the sphere of his relationship with his woman. In other words, understanding who, what, when, where, how, and why a woman reacts differently to the things she encounters. Okay, just read the chapters, and you will get the picture. Listen, I wrote this book based on personal experiences that to me were devastating. I learned obedience through the things I suffered. Words from the mouth of Jesus. Oh, you don't believe me! Look at Hebrews 5:8, Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered.
I have had a few failed marriages that I rushed into, making choices predicated on my own selfish belief system (me, myself, and I), thinking that my intentions were right in the sight of God without consulting Him first.
Finally realizing it was me, yes me, not my mother, not my sister but me, oh Lord, who was standing in the need of prayer. Yes, moving too fast, not waiting on God, making my own decisions; I went into the valley of the shadow of death, meaning I endured much pain and heartache as a result of those relationships. It hurt so bad. I determined within myself with the awesome help of the Lord. I vowed never to marry again, except the Lord showed me that good thing. God did just that; it took a moment (like five years) but he did. So now I have the greatest woman in the world (my mother has passed on; she was the first) and she deserves my gratitude and thankfulness for the training I received from her that continues to reveal itself in most of my actions. My helpmeet, my friend, my wife, Sheila. Her words of encouragement never fail to lift my spirit. Last but not least, my greatest inspiration came from God, to write all that is written in this book. The notes that I acuminated from other authors were very helpful as well. To God be the Glory, His majesty, His dominion, will remain forever and ever throughout all eternity. Amen, amen.
My Testimony
I had no idea and certainly did not plan to write my personal testimony. However, things do happen. I did not plan to have surgery and spend a few days in the hospital but it did occur. What happened to me during my stay in the hospital and at home should be shared with others as a testimony of God's grace and His mercy. I believe that someone will be touched and blessed as a result of my experience. For it is a reflection of what God can do in the time of pain and suffering.
First of all, let me begin by saying that God's hand was upon me. You see, my appointment with my doctor was regarding a minor medical issue. In the process of taking several lab tests, the doctor discovered that there was a greater issue going on in my body that demand immediate attention. You see, God was already moving on my behalf, and it took my wife's adamant opinion concerning this matter to help me realize the circumstance. Having said that, let's get started. I went into the hospital on April 12, 2013 for surgery. Surgery was to begin at 7:30 a.m. I remember getting into my surgical gown and waiting for the doctors to appear.
Finally, they arrived, and I was taken to the surgery room. Once the tubes were inserted and the analgesia applied, it was lights out for me. Hours later, I was awakened at the sound of voices praying for me. The first voice I heard was that of my wife's sister. She stated in my ear, while praying, that "You are a
