This book is designed to be a tool to provide readers with an opportunity to reflect upon their personal choices, behaviors and decisions and its connection to the written scriptures and biblical teachings. Generally our choices and behaviors are a matter of routine and habit. We go through life without taking the time to reflect on why we make certain choices and more importantly, how to redirect our thinking so that it has a different impact on our behaviors. By maintaining a journal we can see the interconnectedness of our past experiences and its influence on how we deal with those issues that impact these personal experiences and connection with the written doctrine. The author, a life strategist is clear, poignant and direct. This Devotional is a spiritual, self help tool. Each journal entry is designed to be reflective. It is non- judgmental, thought provoking and inspirational. The book is divided into 6 chapters based on the most relevant issues in spiritual growth and renewal: Direction, Faith, Trouble, Hope, Finances, and Relationships.

This journey has many twists and turns and one twist I have found to be spiritually captivating, not just for me, but all who call this planet home. This journey started with the first volume where it opened our minds to fathom that there is in fact an afterlife. I have been informed by Jesus that time is of the essence and now is the most important period of our lives, where all Religious beliefs, all Prophecies, and Mythology converge. It is time to allow yourself to further open your minds, and accept the reality that is contained within. "In your hands is hope for a better tomorrow. If you are willing, we are here to give you wings so you can learn to soar the skies, as yesterday has come and gone, today you hold hope for a better tomorrow. So if you dare to rise up, we will be alongside you.”- Michael Jackson in spirit. God, Jesus, Siddhartha Gautama Buddha, Meher Baba and Michael Jackson have their say… Are you ready to listen?
