According to the dating of the Apostle Paul's second and third missionary journeys, he was probably arrested in Jerusalem about A.D. 58. Festus kept Paul imprisoned in Caesarea for two years (Acts 24:27) before he appealed to Caesar and was placed on a ship for Rome. The voyage was interrupted by a shipwreck, so Paul reached Rome as a prisoner and began writing from there about A.D. 61 (or even A.D. 64). Acts 28:30-31 tells us Paul was imprisoned in Rome "two whole years." The Prison Epistles were written during this time."

When we make it a point to put HIM in the Center of our lives, putting HIM first, and we follow HIS Commands, Living them in our lifestyle, Teaching them to our Children and Grandchildren, that we will see that our lives are made Successful by and through HIM.

We look to whatever we can use to comfort us or ease the pain of life.My calling and purpose for writing this book is to help the body of Christ who deal with "Food Addiction", and to discover there is a way of escape from over eating, through "Tithing Your Food to God".
