""This is a very thought-provoking piece of writing from the pen of an anointed woman of God the words will be especially encouraging to those working humbly in the Lord?s vineyard. Rooted firmly in the Scriptures, it points us towards Jesus Christ who was the perfect example of conduct both in family-life and public ministry. It reminds us that He is the just rewarder of all those that seek to be true disciples.""David Miller, Overseer, Bethel United Church of Jesus Christ (Apostolic)""We all need a little more strength for the journey at times. As you read the pages of this day-by-day devotional you will not only be encouraged, but also stirred to uplift those around you. Each day you will be served with a timely reminder that you can indeed move beyond a life of mediocrity and into a closer relationship with God.""Elder Nicholas Myers

This book brings to light the many differences in our lives before and after a significant change. It is comforting to note that the Saviour of the world remains constant in all of our life changes.Being "away" can be as promising as being in school, as exciting as being on holidays, as traumatic as being hospitalised or as heartbreaking as being in prison. We may look forward to the return home with excitement or fear or great anxiety. What changes lie in store for me? Will I be welcomed? Is there anything of my past life that is left? Depending on our circumstances while "away", we may need an invitation from others to encourage us to take that first step, yet at other times the first step must be made out of our own desperate need for a positive change.Thanks for this timely reminder that all we need can be found in Jesus. He knows us all personally, cares for us all individually and loves us all unconditionally.Londy L Esdaille Nevis

"e;...a clear, well thought-out book, even for someone who feels they have no understanding. A few short extracts could explain what some people take years to learn. Although it's aimed at teenagers, I think that this book could be useful for everyone ... it's a motivating, engaging and interactive guide..."e; Sophia Robinson (aged 15)"e;I liked the extracts as they were quite personal...as if it's a one-on-one conversation. Also, having the 'memorise' and 'personal notes' is a nice touch as it takes a step back almost from an in-depth conversation"e; Adrian Richards (aged 15)"e;...easy to read and relate to particularly because it's written as if I am being spoken to directly. It makes the Bible seem easier to read & also gives the verses context."e; Isabel Richards (aged 18)"e;As I was reading the samples from the book, it made me want to carry on reading..I like that the book refers to real life day-to-day issues... I personally think it's a brilliant book & I hope to read more"e; Orel Bygrave (aged 14)
